how to set up approval rule on vendor bill that routes for approval when bill exceptions are not met

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To set up an approval rule on a vendor bill that routes for approval when bill exceptions are not met, you can use the SuiteApprovals feature in NetSuite. Here are the steps: 1. Navigate to the SuiteApprovals page in NetSuite. 2. Create a new approval rule for vendor bills. 3. Set the criteria for the rule. For example, if the vendor bill amount is greater than $25000, then it needs to go through 3 levels of approvers. 4. Set the exception criteria. If you don't want any exceptions, you might need to set a dummy exception that will never be met. 5. For the approval chain, you can either use the standard employee hierarchy or define a custom approval chain. If you want to send approvals to any employee that you set on the Transaction record, you might need to use a workaround as using a field on the record isn't one of the supported choices. 6. Save the rule. Please note that the SuiteApprovals feature might behave differently for different types of transactions. For example, if a vendor bill is created with a PO and the PO amount and Bill amount are the same, it might auto approve as it satisfies all exceptions. You might need to adjust your rule or use a workaround to handle such cases. Also, make sure that the workflow deployment is set up correctly. If the approval buttons are not showing up for the approver, there might be an issue with the workflow deployment. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
