Could you change record locking to allow editing of saved, unapproved vendor bills?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
In NetSuite, once a Vendor Bill is saved and unapproved, it is locked and cannot be edited. This includes changes to the Billing Address, even if the "Allow non-GL changes" option is enabled for the period. This is a built-in feature of NetSuite to maintain the integrity of the data and prevent unauthorized changes. However, there are workarounds to this. One option is to implement a workflow that triggers when a change is made, sending an approval request. This, however, allows the change to be made before approval, which may not be ideal. Another option is to lock the record when it is pending approval, preventing any edits. This can be achieved by creating a custom field for new details (like a new bank detail), which users can edit. This new information would then be routed to an approval queue. Once approved, the data can be transferred to the correct destination and the editable field cleared. Remember, these are just workarounds and may not perfectly fit your needs. Always consider the implications of these changes on your overall business processes and data integrity. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
