VEndor Bill approval workflow by department with multiple approvers

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it is possible to set up a Vendor Bill approval workflow by department with multiple approvers in NetSuite. Here's a general approach: 1. Create a custom record called "department approver" where you can select an individual with certain approval limits. This record will be used by the workflow to select the appropriate individual to approve the vendor bill. 2. Create a vendor bill workflow that may require multiple approvers depending on the approval limit. However, this setup may not play very well with the Approve Bills screen, as the actions reference the transitions, which may not be intuitive for the users. 3. To make it more user-friendly, you can set up one state that has the approve action, and set the approval chain/flow/other fields to facilitate a loop concept instead of a sequential series of steps. Then, instruct the users to look at that one state. 4. For more complex scenarios, such as having the workflow first look at the department and then choose one of three people depending on the value, this is also doable in the workflow. However, maintenance can become harder in cases like when new departments get set up, new people coming in for approvers, or existing ones leaving the organization. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
