how to create a bill credit from a purchase order without creating a return authorization

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it seems that the standard process of creating a bill credit from a purchase order in NetSuite involves creating a return authorization, approving the return, shipping the return to the vendor, and then entering the corresponding credit or refund for the return from the vendor. However, this process will not work if you do not want to create a return authorization. If you want to create a bill credit from a purchase order without creating a return authorization, you can follow these steps: 1. Create a standard bill credit in NetSuite. 2. Apply the bill credit to the original bill that you want to credit. 3. If the credited items are still in your inventory, you can leave them as is. If the credited items are not in your inventory (for example, if they were destroyed in shipping), you can perform an inventory adjustment to remove the items from your inventory. Please note that this process will make the credited items appear as if they were never received on the purchase order. If you receive a corrected bill for these items later, you will have to process it outside of the purchase order, as a standalone bill. If you need to keep track of the original purchase order number, you can use a custom field to capture it. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
