Hi - I am attempting to develop functionality to bulk approve, and then bulk email invoices to customers. There is currently a workflow set up to facilitate approving, and functionality is also set up to email the invoice to a customer, however these can't be done in bulk - it is just one at a time. How would one go about accomplishing this? Is it something simple that can be configured, done through workflows, or require custom scripting?

If you turn on Approval Routing for Invoices under Setup > Accounting Preferences > Approval Routing
The native features of netsuite approval routing will take effect and there is a bulk Approve Invoices screen you can use
You can also use a Mass update to trigger your workflow in bulk, just like the native approve invoices screen
go to Lists > Mass Updates > Mass Update
Expand the workflows section and select the option to initiate your send email workflow.
Then you can define the criteria of what invoices to choose from in the list, just like a saved search. You can save it as a saved mass update so people can return to it and just check/uncheck the boxes next to each record they want to send an email to, then hit submit and it will bulk send all the emails
