unapproved submitted bills will not let me edit them. how do I change so that any submitted bill may still be edited?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, once a bill is submitted for approval, it cannot be edited. This is a control mechanism to ensure that only bills that have been reviewed and approved are posted to the general ledger. However, there are a couple of ways to work around this: 1. Using a Workflow: You can create a workflow that changes the status of the bill back to 'Pending Approval' once it's submitted. This will allow you to edit the bill. However, please note that this might not be the best practice as it can lead to inconsistencies and errors. 2. Using SuiteScript: You can use SuiteScript to change the status of the bill back to 'Pending Approval'. Here's a sample code snippet that was shared in one of the threads:

javascript
nlapiSubmitField('vendorbill',_INTERNALID_,'approvalstatus',1)

Please replace

_INTERNALID_

with the internal ID of the bill you want to edit. This script will change the approval status of the bill to 'Pending Approval', allowing you to edit it. Please note that this method should be used with caution. Changing the status of a bill that has already been approved and posted can lead to inconsistencies and errors. Always test and validate in a sandbox environment before implementing in a live environment. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
