12/19/2017, 9:22 PMDisabling a workflow doesn’t necessarily end it if records already are in a workflow’s state. I’d check the workflow history/active workflows for a record where you’re still not able to approve it — you can manually cancel a workflow in this case.

12/19/2017, 9:30 PM@Taylor - quick follow up - will that effect the import mapping fields? as in, will that field be prevented from being mapped because the workflow was over it?

12/19/2017, 9:33 PMI’m not 100% clear on your situation, I was just talking higher level — if the workflow was preventing approval until certain conditions were met (enforcing the approval routing or something) then just disabling a workflow isn’t sufficient, you’d need to cancel the workflow’s execution for any records it was affecting

12/19/2017, 9:34 PMAs for importing, a workflow shouldn’t affect which fields can get mapped. Sometimes

12/19/2017, 9:46 PMNetsuite doesn't support mapping of approval status for vendor bills when importing (only looks at default setting). As mentioned above the workflows doesn't affect the mapping. Had a little issue with this at a customer last week.

12/19/2017, 10:05 PM@Petter - quick question - so those records are hung forever and will need to re-import?

12/21/2017, 11:35 AM@leo Sorry for the late reply. No you don't need to reimport. You should be able to use the "approve bills" feature
