Does anyone know if there is a guide to determine which types of licenses are considered full? Are customer, employee and vendor centers access counted as such? For employee centers, it's not.

customer, partner, vendor free. advanced partner not. employee center is in packs of 5 and the rest are full.

Correct me if I'm wrong, only full access can use journal entries?

correct

Thanks by the way. Even with customization?

you cannot get to journal entries without a full license. you could potentially script api access but it would still require a full license to run

Hi Luis, it's possible to script this with just an Employee Center license, I've done something similar for other clients in the past. In theory it's even possible to achieve it without Employee Center, however in practice you wouldn't actually do that.

Thanks to you both! @David is that applicable to all other records as well? Or just JE?

Any record that is scriptable server-side could theoretically be exposed, but it would have to be for a specific business need. It would be against NetSuite's terms of service to write scripts for every record type, simply to get around the cost of purchasing full-access licenses. If there's an articulable reason for doing it for a single record type though, that would be acceptable.

Assigning the Vendor Center role to vendors, is there any way those vendors could bill their own purchase order in our NetSuite account? If not, what is the best practice for vendors to do so? Is there a standard XML or XBRL integration approach that vendors should use? Thank you

To my knowledge there's no native process for vendors to bill their own purchase orders in the vendor center or any other interface, but as with Luis' query, it could be achieved using a custom script solution. In fact, this is precisely the type of situation I was alluding to in my last message to him - a specific business need that native functionality cannot cover would be well within NetSuite's TOS. If this is something you'd be interested in implementing, feel free to send me a DM and we can discuss it further.

Makes sense. I do see that NetSuite has the Electronic Invoicing SuiteApp, which will allow a vendor to send an email including an XML invoice(s) and NetSuite should be able to automatically create the vendor bills. As for a "vendor portal" where vendors could log in and manually bill their PO's, are you thinking that would be a public Suitelet where vendors would log in, only see their PO's and be able to bill them?

It would be a Suitelet, yes, set to run using a role with the required permissions, however it wouldn't be "public" (i.e. available without login would be unchecked), so only logged-in users would be able to access it.
