You can upload scanned vendor bill files into the File Cabinet and create NetSuite vendor
bills from the uploaded files. This process supports both items and expenses. Uploading vendor bills
eliminate the vendor bill data entry process and reduce 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
and the vendor bill on the right. 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.
