How to Create Vendor Payments for a Vendor Bill via ExtendInsights

Step 1: Create and Load the Vendor Bills

The key to creating vendor payment is to ensure that you are able to reference the line(s) from your Vendor Bill that you want to settle. We recommend that you load your original Vendor Bill into ExtendInsights for easy reference. In a separate tab, load an Vendor Payment template.

💡Tip! You can retrieve the Vendor Bills you want to settle using a data filter, saved search, or internal ID action. Click here to learn more!

Step 2: Create the Vendor Payment template based on the template layout

Since you have Vendor Payment ready to be populated, you can copy and paste or use a formula from your Vendor Bill to your Vendor Payment template.

  • Apply List: Doc - Internal Id of the Vendor Bill

  • Apply List: Apply - Set to TRUE

Step 3: Upload to NetSuite

Send the record to NetSuite, click Upload to NetSuite, and hit the Upload Records button.

Once posted the status of the Vendor Bill will be updated from Open to Paid in Full. Go to the HIstory> Payment tab to view the Bill Payment created.
