Credit Memo Approval Process via Return Authorization

Hi Gurus,

I’m working on building an approval process for Credit Memos using NetSuite’s standard Return Authorization → Credit Memo approval process and statuses. My goal is to use a workflow triggered by Return Authorization status change to Pending Approval to:

  • Restrict access to Approve/Cancel buttons based on roles
  • Lock the approved record once it’s approved
  • Use a Transform Record action within the workflow to create the Credit Memo automatically after approval

The challenge I’m running into - adding a check or condition to prevent duplicate Credit Memos from being created. I’m having trouble identifying Return Authorizations that already have linked Credit Memos through a saved search (not all credit memos are applied). I also tried using a custom checkbox, but that didn’t work since the Transform action runs after record submit.

Howdy, Stranger!
