I'm looking to auto approve Vendor Bills created from a purchase order. My typical way of doing this doesn't work as it appears the vendor bill doesn't have a created from field anymore (I swear I've done this before) any ideas?

FYI. I'm looking in an Au instance and Vendor Bills (with Items) created from PO (with Items) and the Created From field is populated.

Yeah, but it appears to be  a saved search only field.

I wound up solving this by adding a checkbox that defaults checked, and then it gets unchecked on the PO via workflow - and then when it hits vendor bill stage it inherits the value from the PO as unchecked, where as VBs not created from a PO have the box checked

the workflow doesn't quite transition the way I want it to - but I can at least force it to get an approval status.
