Setting up Transaction Email Capture

The SuiteApp requires us to enable a plug-in and set preferences to let vendors and employees send vendor bills through email. 

Setting Up Transaction Email capture preferences 

  1. Go to Setup > Company > General Preferences
  2. Click the Custom Preferences subtab. 
  3. On the Transaction Email Capture section, select the following for each field: 
  • Vendor Bill Email Notification Sender – Select the employee whose email address should appear as the sender of vendor bill email notification sent by our company. 
  • Vendor Bill Recipient – Select the employee whose file cabinet will be used to store the vendor bills sent by vendors. 
  1. All the files received through email from vendors will be stored in this employee’s assigned subsidiary and will be visible to other employees who only have access to that subsidiary. 
  2. By default, the SuiteApp sets the employee record with internal ID -5 as the vendor bill email notification sender and vendor bill recipient. 
  3. Click Save

Enabling the Email Capture Plugin 

Before sending vendor bills through email, we must enable the email capture plug-in in our NetSuite account. 

  1. Go to Customization > Plug-ins > Manage Plug-ins
  2. On the Email Capture Plugin section, check the Transaction Email Capture box. 
  3. Take note of the email address. This is the email address where our employee and vendors should send their vendor bills. 
  4. Click Save
