A purchase order made last year has been fully billed, but we found that we needed to add another expense line on that PO. Are there risks with adding a new line item on the Fully Billed PO from last year, and then creating a Bill from it?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, adding a new line item to a fully billed Purchase Order (PO) from last year and then creating a bill from it could potentially lead to some issues. Here are some points to consider: 1. NetSuite Limitations: NetSuite treats each line on the expense tab as fully received once it's billed, regardless of the amount billed. This means that if you bill a line partially, NetSuite will still mark it as fully billed. This could lead to confusion as the PO might appear as fully paid even though it's not. 2. Billing Partial Quantities: If you need to bill a line partially, you might need to break it up into multiple lines or use the item tab to have partial receipts. Alternatively, you can use a service item and bill partial quantities. However, this workaround might lead to quantity amount variances if the math doesn't work out. 3. Manual Bills: If you're unable to add a new line to the PO, you might need to create a manual bill without a reference to the PO. However, this could lead to tracking issues as the bill won't be linked to the PO. 4. Status Changes: The status of a PO can change to fully billed as a result of billing it for the full quantity, even if the amount billed is less than the total PO amount. This could lead to confusion and potential errors. In conclusion, while it's technically possible to add a new line item to a fully billed PO and then create a bill from it, it could lead to confusion, tracking issues, and potential errors due to the way NetSuite handles billing and PO statuses. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******

No, no risks. Just add a new line and bill it.
