NS0770 Export Error in NetSuite Integration

If you see the error:

NS0770 Export Error: Project [X] is not active and can’t accept expenses. Please update the project tag.

This means the selected project is inactive in NetSuite.

NetSuite does not allow expenses to be exported to inactive or closed projects.

Why the NS0770 Export Error Happens in NetSuite

The NS0770 error typically occurs when:

• A Project selected in the Workspace is marked as Inactive in NetSuite.
• The project has been closed or archived.
• The project is no longer available for new transactions.

If the project is not active, NetSuite blocks the export.

This is a project status issue, not a customer resource assignment or subsidiary mismatch issue.
