NetSuite Admin Tip | Auto-Set Vendor Bill Status Using Workflow in P2P Process
Workflows in NetSuite aren't just for approvals — they can also streamline your Procure-to-Pay (P2P) operations with subtle but powerful automation.
One helpful action I’ve used in multiple implementations is:
Automatically setting the status of a Vendor Bill (e.g., Pending Approval or Open) based on custom business rules.
Why This Is Useful:
In some companies, not all vendor bills require approval — for example:
- Bills under a certain amount
- Trusted vendors (like utilities or pre-approved service providers)
- Recurring bills imported via CSV or integrations
Rather than relying on users to manually set the bill to “Open,” you can let a workflow handle it.
