how to enable committed item when creating standalone invoice when the invoice is pending approval

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To enable committed items when creating a standalone invoice when the invoice is pending approval, you would need to adjust your NetSuite settings and possibly modify your business process. Here are the steps you can follow: 1. Enable the 'Perform Item Commitment after Transaction Entry' preference. You can find this under Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences, then the Order Management subtab. This will allow items to be committed after the transaction entry. 2. If you are not seeing a submit button on the 'Commit Orders' page, you may need to uncheck the 'Perform Item Commitment After Transaction Entry' accounting preference. This should allow you to manually commit items on an order-by-order basis. 3. Consider customizing a double approval process. The first approval could be the system Sales Order (SO) approval, which would commit the inventory. Then, a custom second approval task could replace the actual approval action. This would allow you to maintain your current business processes while also committing inventory regardless of the sales order status. Please note that these steps are based on the assumption that you are using NetSuite's standard functionality. If you have custom scripts or workflows in place, additional steps may be necessary. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
