history, balances & transactions? no, only the pay vendor bills page is in scope for this feature do the customizations i make to the pay vendor bills page impact anyone else? no, all customizations are saved on the user level do any customizations i make on the open bills tab of the pay vendor bills page impact what i see on the failed bills tab? this depends on whether customizations were made to filters or columns for columns, all customizations are isolated to the specific tab the customize pay vendor bills page title will indicate whether you are customizing columns on the open bills tab or the failed bills tab for filters, there's no impact on the distinction between open bills and failed bills any changes made to filters on one tab are automatically copied over to the other why is the pay vendor bills page stuck loading? this can be caused by various reasons and is typically related to a suitescript error that the netsuite administrator will receive an email for when a user encounters this problem there are currently two known causes cause #1 the user is missing a netsuite permission on their role for custom field (level view) fix grant custom field (level view) netsuite permissions for the user’s role cause #2 the user is missing a netsuite permission on their role for subsidiaries (level view) fix grant subsidiaries (level view) netsuite permissions for the user’s role if neither of the above fixes works, please reach out to support with any recent suitescript errors corresponding to your bank bundle that may have been sent to the netsuite administrator’s email inbox, or are visible from the script execution logs page ( customization→ scripting → script execution logs ) why do i need to grant or be granted access to the user customization suitelet script? a

page, but clicking it will result in an error page, stating “you do not have privileges to view this page ” why do i need to grant or be granted access to the netsuite user/role permission custom fields (level view)? if custom fields (level view) permissions are not granted to a role, the customize pay vendor bills page will be stuck on loading, and the netsuite administrator will receive an email titled “suitescript error summary” or “a user error has occurred” that highlights where the error occurred, which user(s) experienced it, and the cause why do i need to grant or be granted
