NSC | Linking a Department to a Vendor for Vendor Bill Approval Routing
Scenario
A user wanted to associate a Department with Vendor records in NetSuite to support Vendor Bill Approval routing.
The business approval process required Vendor Bills to be routed to Department Heads based on the Department assigned to the bill. Although the Vendor Bill transaction includes a Department field, the Vendor record itself does not contain a standard Department field.
The user wanted the Department value to automatically populate on Vendor Bills when transactions are created for specific vendors and needed to determine whether this functionality was available in NetSuite.
Solution
The ability to add Department, Class, Location, or Employee fields directly to Vendor records for automatic sourcing into Accounts Payable transactions is currently tracked under Enhancement Request 84731.
