One of the great things that NetSuite allows for is the attachment of files to a transaction. This is perfect for adding supporting documentation like acknowledgments and invoices sent from a vendor.

What if you could take it a step further and provide quick and easy access to a file attachment on the transaction?

Sikich has got you covered. With our customization, the user can attach documents as they always do, but that document can also be accessible on the header of the transaction. The customization allows for the first attached document to be available on the header. However, this could easily to adapted to multiple attachments or allowing the user to select the attachment when there are multiples.

This will save the user time, as it will save the few clicks it takes to drill into the file and then open the attachment.

In addition to saving time, this customization can provide an easier way for users to audit the transactions for the existence of documentation when it’s expected. This audit can be performed via saved search or by simply spot-checking transactions.
