What is the correct way to generate a vendor bill that is connected to a purchase order via SuiteScript (Suitelet specifically)?

Will that allow you to create a vendor bill that is connected to multiple Purchase Orders?

I think if I'm reading it right, that only allows a single transform from one PO to a VB

yeah we need to create a single bill with multiple POs attached a la the Bill Purchase Orders screen

may have to go custom "bill" button route and do it yourself in scripting rather than transform then

when navigating to Bill Purchase Orders and selecting multiple POs for the same vendor and submitting, it prepopulates a bill form where there is a parameter of `poids=120010,119810`, so a comma-separated list of multiple POs

wondering if it might be possible to populate that via dynamic mode somehow when initializing the record

I think we may just need to redirect the user to a multi-po transform bill, since we know that works with the url param

and then maybe pass in our own additional param of the lines we want to remove somehow, then a client script to remove lines based on the params

just sucks that there's no SuiteScript analog for a native UI-based process

Try using `poids` in the default fields parameter when creating your bills

I did try that but it didn't work for me - do you have a code sample that worked for you <@U38PGCNGN>?

Not a vendor bill but from an SO , my script creates the Drop Ship PO.  If I recall correctly, I had to set the poid and linenum in the default values parameter. I'll look for it but this was created during the 1.0 days.

<@U29JEQVL6> did you ever find a way to accomplish this?  I have a similar use case. 

Unfortunately no <@UJ1LHVDEX> - our workaround was a client script based on field change, but the user has to start by creating a bill via the Bill Purchase Orders page

Were you able to link the multiple POs? <@U29JEQVL6> 

yeah because netsuite natively allows for that, but only if you use that screen
