How to create an ApprovalMax URL field in NetSuite

Updated over a month ago

When viewing a Vendor Bill in NetSuite, it's quite often necessary to understand what's happening with its approval. Instead of having to find a particular Bill in ApprovalMax manually, a direct link to ApprovalMax in the NetSuite bill form comes in very handy.
​​

ApprovalMax can put such URLs into NetSuite but first a custom field for this needs to be created in NetSuite.

This is how you create such as custom field​

  • Go to NetSuite Customization > Lists, Records & Fields > Transaction Body Fields and create a new custom field with the following parameters:​

    1. Label = ApprovalMax URL
    2. ID = approvalmaxurl (it will be saved as custbodyapprovalmaxurl, so don't worry, we will use it)
    3. Type = Hyperlink
    4. Applies to: Purchase

  • Next, go to NetSuite Customization > Forms > Transaction Forms and select your preferred Vendor Bill form:​

​​

  • In the selected form:
    1. Navigate to the screen Fields SUBTAB ​
    2. Click on the Move Elements Between Subtabs button ​
    3. Navigate to the Custom tab
    4. Select the Main subtab for the ApprovalMax URL field​
    5. Save the form​

​​

  • Now open any Vendor Bill with your preferred Vendor Bill form and check that the ApprovalMax URL field is visible:​


​​

With URL setting in ApprovalMax you can decide when ApprovalMax will insert a link to the request in NetSuite: either after the final approval or during the first synchronisation of the request.
