Reimbursements (Expense Report Reimbursements) Import Workflow
The Reimbursements (Expense Report Reimbursements) import workflow lets you:
-
Record bill payments against expense reports or vendor bills previously exported from OpenAir expense reports to NetSuite, and then import the bill payment records into OpenAir as reimbursements.
-
Update bill payments in NetSuite and use the NetSuite <> OpenAir integration to update the corresponding reimbursements in OpenAir.
Changes made to the reimbursement records in OpenAir after the initial import are not exported back to NetSuite.
For information about field mapping definitions for this workflow, see Reimbursements (Expense Report Reimbursements) Import Field Mapping Definition.
