it is possible to make the expense category line field on a expense report not required

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it appears that making the expense category line field on an expense report not required is not possible in NetSuite. The expense category field is a mandatory field in NetSuite and cannot be changed to optional. This is because each expense category should be associated with an expense account when set up, ensuring that accounts and categories align correctly. However, a workaround suggested in the conversations is to create an expense category for each account and give it the same naming/numbering. This can be a bit tedious but can be done using CSV import. Another workaround is to use a generic category and then push from your category to the account with a journal entry. Please note that these are workarounds and may not fully meet your requirements. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
