AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
Based on the conversations, it appears that it is possible to use a custom workflow for approvals in NetSuite. However, there are certain prerequisites and limitations to consider. For instance, in the context of purchase requests, it was mentioned that once purchase requests are enabled, the Approval Status and Next Approver fields become available for workflow. However, it was also noted that the purchase request cannot be selected as a Transaction sub type for triggering in the workflow. Instead, the purchase order sub type was suggested for use in a custom approval workflow. In another conversation, a custom Suitelet was mentioned as a solution for bulk approval of sales orders. This custom Suitelet allows the approver to select multiple transactions at once and approve them. The approval workflow is triggered on each transaction asynchronously, which means the user does not have to wait for all transactions to finish approving. In the context of employee center approvals, it was mentioned that a custom workflow can be used to determine PO/Requisition approvals. However, it was also noted that the default approval routing pointing towards employee hierarchy approvals for the employee center cannot be turned off. Instead, the custom workflow can be used in conjunction with the default approval workflow. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
