invoice tolerance

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, the invoice tolerance feature is typically used to check for discrepancies between Purchase Orders (PO) and Vendor Bills. If the amount exceeds a certain percentage (e.g., 5%), the Bills are routed to an approval flow. In your case, you're facing an issue where your Purchase Orders do not have TAX, but your Bills do, which makes the total amount exceed the 5% tolerance. You're asking if it's possible to consider the "Before Tax amount" on the Bills for the tolerance. Unfortunately, there isn't a straightforward way to achieve this in NetSuite. The system doesn't provide a direct option to consider the "Before Tax amount" for the tolerance check. One potential workaround could be to use the presence of the tax line as a condition to bypass the tolerance in the workflow-based approval routing. However, this would require customizing the workflow to add this condition, which might not be feasible depending on your specific setup and requirements. Another approach could be to create a custom field to store the "Before Tax amount" and use this field for the tolerance check. However, this would also require customization and might not be suitable for all scenarios. Please note that these are just potential workarounds and might not work in all cases. It's recommended to thoroughly test any changes in a sandbox environment before implementing them in your live account. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
