The invoice records shows a Make standalone copy option under the invoice actions

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it appears that the "Make Copy" option in NetSuite can indeed cause some issues. It seems to copy everything from the original record to the new one, including hidden fields that aren't visible on the form. This can lead to problems, especially when users copy approved bills, which can bypass approval workflows. There doesn't seem to be a direct way to know if a record was created using the "Make Copy" button. However, some users have suggested workarounds. One suggestion is to look at the logs for a workflow on the record that has one or more actions that trigger on copy. If the record was copied, it will show in the workflow log under the System Information tab with the "copy" context. This requires having logging turned on for a workflow, which can impact performance. Another suggestion is to use scripting to fire a copy action on pageInit. You could create a custom field and mark it as a copy in some way. For example, you could have a field like "Replaces X" that links back to the original record, indicating that the new record is a copy. Finally, to prevent copied approved bills from bypassing the approval workflow, you could add a set field value action on the start state of your workflow that sets the approval status to Pending Approval (on Entry). This way, even if a user copies an approved bill, the workflow will overwrite the new record's status with "Pending Approval" as it enters the workflow. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
