Hello Community,

I am facing an issue with Place of Supply determination on Vendor Bills in NetSuite

When creating a Vendor Bill, the Place of Supply is getting populated automatically, but it is incorrect.

Scenario:

• Vendor record does not have Billing or Shipping Address
• Location field on the Vendor Bill is left empty
• No Shipping Address is selected on the transaction

Despite this, NetSuite is still deriving a Place of Supply value automatically.

1. From where is NetSuite deriving the Place of Supply when:
   • Vendor address is missing
   • Location is not selected
   • No shipping address is available
2. Is the system defaulting to the Subsidiary address or Nexus configuration in such cases?
3. What is the exact hierarchy or logic for Place of Supply determination?
4. How can we control or correct this behavior to ensure accurate Place of Supply?
5. What are the recommended best practices to avoid incorrect Place of Supply?
   • Is maintaining Vendor address mandatory?
   • Should Location always be populated on Vendor Bills?

Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
