Is it expected behavior that a standalone transaction requires a mandatory location, but when the same transaction is created using “Create From” another transaction, the location field is no longer required?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it appears that the behavior you're experiencing is expected. In NetSuite, the requirement for the Location field in a transaction is determined by the "Make Locations mandatory" setting in Accounting Preferences. If this setting is checked, you cannot create any transaction without the Location field filled. This applies to standalone transactions as well as transactions created using the "Create From" feature. However, there are some workarounds discussed in the threads. One is to use a User Event (UE) script to remove the mandatory requirement from the Location field. However, this approach seems to have limitations, as the system still asks for the Location when saving the record. Another workaround is to set a default Location for all transactions. This way, even if the Location field is mandatory, it will always have a value and won't prevent the transaction from being saved. Lastly, there's a mention of using a workflow to automatically fill in the default Location when saving the bill. This approach seems to work for some users. Please note that these workarounds may have impacts on your financials, so use them with caution. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
