Is there a way to add a rule that is applicable to bills for a new vendor?

Hi @johnythevara48 ,

If you add a user-defined field on the Vendor screen then you should be able to reference the value of that field on the approval map.  You could create a business event to update the value of the user defined field based on some logic.

Please also vote for the idea that @Laura02 referenced.  That would be very useful!

Hope this helps.

Hello,

Please vote for new Acumatica functionality: idea to add ability to approve addition of new vendors and customers:

https://community.acumatica.com/ideas/approval%2Dmap%2Dfor%2Dnew%2Dvendors%2Dcustomers%2D2631

 

The idea above is not exactly what you asked, I see… but close.  Here is another idea: could you place new vendors in a different class at first, and use Vendor Class to route AP Bills for vendors who are in the temporary “New Vendors” class?

Thank you Laura02 and Lauraj46.

Actually I was considering the UDF field option. But without Business Event. Business Event is a good idea. Thanks.

Laura02, I have voted for the functionality. You are right. It is different. Though class works, UDF may be a better option.
