How to Enable Users to Override Estimated Cost on NetSuite Transactions
Understand the specific NetSuite permission required to allow users to modify the estimated extended cost on transactions created by other users.
Short answer
To enable a user to modify the 'Est. Extended Cost' on NetSuite transactions not originally created by them, the 'Override Estimated Cost on Transactions' permission must be assigned to their NetSuite role. Without this specific permission, users will be unable to adjust costs established by other system users, ensuring data integrity and proper cost management.
Scenario
Users attempting to modify the 'Est. Extended Cost' field on NetSuite transactions may encounter an issue where the changes do not save or are not permitted. This typically occurs when the transaction was initially created by a different user, preventing the current user from adjusting the established cost.
Solution
To allow a user to modify the 'Est. Extended Cost' on transactions that were not created by them, a NetSuite administrator must adjust the user's assigned role. The following permission must be configured:
The permission Override Estimated Cost on Transactions must be set on the role for a user to be able to change the Cost established by another user.
Granting this permission ensures that users have the necessary authority to adjust estimated costs on transactions regardless of the original creator.
