Blanket Purchase Orders vs Standard POs for “amount-known / invoice-count-unknown” spend
Hello NetSuite Community,
We’re running into a Purchase Order behavior issue that’s impacting “blanket spend” scenarios (services / expense-type purchases) where the total amount is known up front, but the number of vendor invoices and line quantities are not known.
Current behavior / problem
When we create a standard Purchase Order using Item lines (e.g., expense item / non-inventory item), NetSuite appears to treat the PO as fully billed/closed once the sum of billed quantities equals the ordered quantity on the PO line. This becomes a problem when we want a single PO to allow multiple Vendor Bills over time
