records, alongside any custom transaction body fields on the bill record why can’t i choose from custom entity fields on the vendor record? this is currently out of scope for our first release of customizable columns if this is something that interests you, please send along any feedback you have to can i make customizations to columns on any of these pages payments history, positive pay, positive pay 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? no, all customizations are isolated to the specific tab the customize pay vendor bills page will also say whether you are customizing columns on the open bills tab or on the failed bills tab in the page title why am i not able to remove or rearrange certain columns from my selected columns list? these columns are considered essential information for a bill payment and cannot be removed some cannot be rearranged as they are “stickied” left or right upon horizontal scroll for a better user experience 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 which the netsuite administrator will receive an email 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 suitelet is a page, in netsuite terms without access to this suitelet script, a user cannot access the customize pay vendor bills page the customize button will still appear on the pay vendor bills 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 access to the netsuite user/role permission subsidiaries (level view)? this is a required netsuite user/role permission if a user wishes to add a column for subsidiary on the pay vendor bills page if this permission is not granted, the customizable columns feature will remain usable, except that the role/user will not be able to add subsidiary to their selected columns list and save their changes if subsidiaries (level view) permissions are not granted to a role, if a user in that role adds the subsidiary column to their selected columns and saves their changes, the pay vendor bills page will be stuck on loading 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
