Question on bills not linked to POs - we're trying to clean up our NetSuite instance and come across some bills that should have purchase orders attached to them.  I don't think it's possible to link a bill to a purchase order after the fact, but if anyone else has come across anything like this before and has any suggestions, please let me know.  We thought about entering the purchase order and then manually linking it with a custom field, but then the purchase order would always hang open.

I've looked into this a bunch and tried a lot of things - unfortunately I've never found a way to link POs to VBs after they are generated.

Same in my experience - I think our best bet is probably going to be deleting the bill and starting the process correctly

same... we would credit out the VB and create it again from the PO

I prefer SuiteReg's solution as opposed to deleting it in general.

Or billing them and then crediting the new VB (if the old one was paid already)

or just hitting the "close" button on the PO knowing it'll goof metrics etc.

It really depends on what items you are using whether that matters.
