Inside your NetSuite account
Approving what is waiting
The PO sits there because the approver never opens NetSuite.
For purchasing managers and controllers whose purchase orders, vendor bills and journal entries wait on someone else.
The approval happens. Just not in NetSuite.
The purchase order sits at Pending Approval. You email the approver a screenshot, they answer "ok" from their phone, and someone approves for them.
The goods arrive late, the bill misses its early-payment terms, and at month end someone rebuilds approvals from an inbox. NetSuite can route these approvals. Nobody had the hours to set it up your way.
The request reaches the approver. The decision stays in NetSuite.
SeamSet starts from what NetSuite already does: approval routing, approval workflows such as the 3-way match workflow for vendor bills, and SuiteApprovals if your account has it, which already lets approvers answer from email. Native first, with pragmatism. If a native feature covers the need, SeamSet sets it up (a saved search, a workflow, an approval rule), through your NetSuite admin's approval, and writes no code. If the native route would cost more to set up and run than the need is worth, SeamSet says so and proposes the lighter option. Account features stay your admin's switch. Then it adds what your approvers still need, such as:
- A screen per approver: everything waiting on them and the amount against their limit, with Approve and Reject. For a vendor bill, its purchase order and item receipt on the same screen.
Describe it in plain words for a first version in minutes.
Example with a fictional company: an approver's screen inside a NetSuite account. On the left, the five purchase orders and vendor bills waiting on the controller, each with its vendor, amount, requester and days waiting. On the right, a vendor bill from Keel Packaging Ltd for $18,400.00, pending approval for 6 days, shown next to its purchase order and item receipt for the same 2,000 units. These records come from NetSuite. What SeamSet adds is marked: the screen itself, the amount against the approver's $25,000.00 limit, a reason field, and the Approve and Reject buttons.
Inside your NetSuite account
The screen, the rules and the approval trail live in your account. Each approval is made by the approver and recorded on the transaction. Approvers need a NetSuite login.
What it reads, and what it writes.
Reads
purchase orders, vendor bills and journal entries waiting for approval; item receipts; approvers and their limits.
Writes
the approver's decision and reason. Never amounts, lines or accounts.
Adds
its own screen, workflows and reason field, with a SeamSet prefix in every object ID, linked to its request. Your existing approval workflows change only with your admin's approval.
Every change is tested before it goes live, and tagged Reversible, Removes stored data or Cannot be undone before your admin approves it. The log records who asked, who approved, what changed and when. SeamSet keeps it, and you can export it at any time.
