Like a vendor prepayment on a PO? Or the PO doesn't exist yet?

PO doesn't exist yet, and don't want to pay it until PO is received

I'd slap my vendor and tell them to resend when work was completed. That said I'm not aware of any functionality that will allow this out of box or provided by NetSuite. You could do some kind of custom record or transaction, but it would have to be a manual process or scripted to manage

We issued checked on it- and make bill credit from check- then we apply the bill credit on Purchase order to knock off the transaction

Well, that works except netsweat indicated that not interested in paying it until po completed

I'm with @KevinJ of Kansas this is not standard business process. It is amazing how much time and money is spent "creating a solution" to fix a bad business process to begin with. (Getting off my soap box now).

Thanks for all the ideas guys
