This includes setting the

orderdoc

and

orderline

columns to establish the link between them. Here's a step-by-step guide: 1. Create the Vendor Bill independently. 2. The next day, create the Purchase Order. 3. Go back to the Vendor Bill and manually set the lines to match the lines on the Purchase Order. 4. Set the

orderdoc

and

orderline

columns on the Vendor Bill to match the corresponding values on the Purchase Order. This process will establish the link between the Vendor Bill and the Purchase Order, making the Purchase Order appear in the Related Records of the Vendor Bill. Please note that this process assumes that you have the necessary permissions and access to modify the Vendor Bill and Purchase Order records in NetSuite. If you do not have these permissions, you may need to request them from your NetSuite administrator. Also, keep in mind that the Purchase Order is a non-GL impact transaction, whereas the Vendor Bill impacts your GL. Therefore, any changes you make to the Purchase Order will not affect your GL until the Vendor Bill is created or updated. For more detailed information, you can refer to the NetSuite Help Center documents: PurchasingReceiving.pdf and Vendors.pdf.
