Which statement is true about recording customer payments?

The "Accept Customer Payment" transaction in NetSuite records the receipt of funds from a customer. From an accounting standpoint, this transaction creates a journal entry that debits either the Undeposited Funds account or a specific bank account, and credits the Accounts Receivable (A/R) account. This credit to A/R directly reduces, or offsets, the outstanding balance that was created by the original invoice(s). This process accurately reflects that the customer has settled their debt and is a fundamental principle of double-entry accounting for receivables.

B. NetSuite allows a single payment to be applied to multiple invoices, or multiple partial payments to a single invoice. A strict 1:1 match is not a system requirement.
C. NetSuite has native functionality for processing credit card payments through integration with various payment gateways. The Electronic Bank Payments SuiteApp is for other formats like EFT/ACH.
D. Using the Undeposited Funds account is a standard best practice for all payment types, including credit cards, to accurately group payments for easier bank deposit reconciliation.
