When creating the purchase order, there is a checkbox ‘Match Bill To Receipt’ at the PO item line level. When this checkbox is checked, if the user is creating the bill after creating the Item Receipt, the item receipt number will be automatically populated in the Bill’s ‘Item Receipts’ line-level field.
But if the Bill is created partially for a single Item Receipt, the user is not able to attach the same IR in multiple bills. For example, the IR has 100 quantities of the item. Two bills were created for 50 quantities each. But the IR can be linked to only one bill. The other bill can not attach to any IR.
Currently, this is a NetSuite Enhancement. Enhancement # – 267814.
Summary: Purchase Order = Match Bill to Receipt : Ability to select and match the same item receipt to subsequent vendor bills in a scenario where the ordered item is billed in partial quantities/amounts but all of the items are received once.
