In 2022.2, you can upload scanned vendor bill files into the File Cabinet, and then create NetSuite vendor bills from the uploaded files. This process supports both items and expenses. Uploading vendor bills eliminates the vendor bill data entry process and reduces manual errors and inconsistencies that occur when entering vendor bills.
Uploaded files appear on the Scanned Vendor Bills page after you refresh the page.
When you click a Review Bill link, an optical character recognition (OCR) program reads the data on the scanned bill. The Review Scanned Bill page opens. This page presents the scanned file on the left side, and the vendor bill on the right side. Complete the fields, as required. When you are satisfied with the information, click Create Bill. When the bill is created, NetSuite redirects you to the bill, where you can process this bill as you would any NetSuite bill.
Using this method for creating vendor bills dramatically increases efficiency. In addition, NetSuite remembers what suggestions were correct or incorrect, and implements those suggestions the next time a bill is created for that vendor.
If you are tasked with processing scanned vendor bills, your Reminders portlet on the Home page provides a link to the bills that require processing. You can also go to the Scanned Vendor Bills page. Go to Transactions > Payables > Upload Vendor Bill. For more information, see the help topic Uploading Vendor Bill Files Into NetSuite.
