Paying Vendors from time entered in timesheet Has anyone got any ideas on how to implement such functionality?

Would be a scripted solution. I would do something like. Assume: Vendors are entering into the Netsuite Employee time records. a) Have a new Custom field on the time record to record which Bill you pay the Vendor for this time. b) Each bill cycle you summarise the hours for each Vendor, and populate those onto a Vendor Bill record for each respective vendor. c) After it has been saved, populate the time records with the Bill. You will need this so you can track that you have paid he vendor for each hour logged. d) Now you have a Bill for each Vendor which you can pay through EFT. There would be a few clarifications about where to get the payment rates, the service items to use etc.

One thing I have found with the Vendor Center, Customer center, partner centre is that the timesheet entry permission is not available with these role types. But custom records are available to these role types and I suppose we could create one for timesheet entries.

I have another implementation where we developed a suitelet webpage for the Vendors. They submit the page which include multiple people and multiple service codes. In this case we created Time Records but you could have it create the multiple Custom Records.

Oh OK will look into that - thanks. So there was no custom record behind your suitelet?

In the use case we did we decided to use the standard timebill record as that fitted with native reports and the weekly timesheets. I'll DM you a public link. it's on my dev account.
