when the system notes says a PO was created via "bulk processing" was it a csv upload? what is bulk processing

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, "bulk processing" refers to the process of handling multiple records at once, rather than individually. This can be done through various methods such as CSV import, mass updates, or using scripts and workflows. When the system notes say a Purchase Order (PO) was created via "bulk processing", it could mean that it was created through a CSV import, but not necessarily. It could also have been created through a mass update or a script. In the context of the provided conversations, users discuss creating multiple vendor bills associated with multiple POs in one step. They suggest exporting the desired POs to a CSV, manipulating the data, and then importing the file back into NetSuite. However, it's noted that this method won't associate the bills with the POs, and a script or workflow would be needed for that. In another conversation, a user asks about updating POs in bulk without changing any data, to trigger a workflow. The suggested solution is to use a CSV import and update at least one field value, even if it's the existing value. In the import options, the user would need to expand the advanced options and select the "run server script and workflow script" checkbox. In a third conversation, a user asks if it's possible to receive POs via CSV import. The suggested solution is to combine a workflow with a saved search, which would contain criteria on when to transform the PO to an Item receipt. So, while CSV import is a method of bulk processing in NetSuite, it's not the only method, and "bulk processing" doesn't always mean a CSV import was used.
