Why is the Posting Period on a NetSuite Vendor Bill Uneditable?
Understand the approval status requirement that prevents editing the posting period on vendor bills in NetSuite.
Short answer

Solution
To enable editing of the posting period on a NetSuite vendor bill, the bill's approval status must be changed.
