How to make a Purchase Order become one of the Related Records on a Vendor Bill?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To make a Purchase Order become one of the Related Records on a Vendor Bill, you need to create the Vendor Bill from the Purchase Order. Here are the steps: 1. Create a Purchase Order (PO) in NetSuite. 2. Once the PO is created, you can create a Vendor Bill from this PO. This is done by clicking on the 'Bill' button on the PO record. This will open a new Vendor Bill record with the PO details pre-filled. 3. Save the Vendor Bill. Once the Vendor Bill is created from the PO, the PO will automatically appear in the 'Related Records' tab of the Vendor Bill. If you have an existing Vendor Bill that was created independently and you want to link it to a PO, you can do so by manually setting the lines on the bill to match the lines on the purchase orders, including the link between them, which are the

orderdoc

and

orderline

columns. Please note that the PO is a non-GL impact transaction, whereas the Vendor Bill impacts your GL. The PO becomes a related record because when you create a bill from the PO, the 'Created From' field on the bill is populated with the PO number. That's how they get linked. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
