is it possible to create the vendor credit in draft status when saved before posting to the GL?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it appears that NetSuite posts the vendor bill credit to the General Ledger (GL) as soon as it's created. There is no built-in functionality to create a vendor credit in a draft or pending status that would prevent it from posting to the GL immediately. While you can create custom fields and workflows to mimic an approval process for vendor credits, these customizations will not prevent the transaction from impacting the GL. The system does not support approval routing for vendor credits like it does for Vendor Bills, Journal Entries (JEs), Purchase Orders (POs), Sales Orders (SOs), and Expense Reports. One suggested workaround is to use Return Merchandise Authorizations (RMAs) as a de-facto approval process. This would involve creating Vendor Credits from RMAs, and only allowing approved personnel to convert these to credit memos. However, this might not be applicable to all businesses, especially those that do not deal with inventory or returns. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
