04/25/2022, 8:10 PMWe have a use case where we enter a lot of sales orders for $0 sale price - (Essentially we are just doing this to sell materials to the job eg capture COGS on a project) — However Netsuite still wants us to create an invoice for the sales order even though the total is $0.
Is there any way to bypass the invoice step? I noticed we can select “Close Order” but does anyone know what the implications of closing the sales order are?

This can be achieved with a scheduled workflow if you want to avoid scripting
If you do want to just create the invoice use billing operations to do this. It’s a standard feature that is very robust
