How to make a Workflow create a Vendor Bill in its Create Record action
c
AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
To create a Vendor Bill using a Workflow's Create Record action, you can follow these steps: 1. Create a custom field on the Vendor Bill called 'Created From'. 2. In the transformation action of your workflow, set this custom field to the current record. This can be done by setting up a formula with
{id}
. This will establish a link between the Custom Transaction and the Vendor Bill. However, there are some limitations to this approach. The standard 'Created From' field is not updated in this scenario, so you must save the link through a custom field. Also, the Tax Code field is not available in the Custom Transaction, so it won't be automatically populated in the Vendor Bill. To overcome this, you can create a custom button which does the same thing through a script. You can load your custom transaction record and compare each line with your vendor bill record in the script. This allows you to update your quantity, tax code, etc in the vendor bill with what you have in your custom transaction. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******

This doesn't help me, the Create Record action doesn't list Bills or Vendor Bills as options for what kind of record can be created.
