Before you start
  • Use an account with purchase_debit_notes capability and confirm the intended record or setting before making a change.
  • Follow the exact route above. If the screen or action is absent, check module activation, ownership and permissions rather than using another person’s account.
  • Use controlled test data for configuration, integration, email, AI, payment, portal or automation changes before production-wide use.

Rules and limits

  • Vendor actions are capability-gated; portal functions also depend on the vendor-portal setting and contact authentication.
  • Debit notes support open/void state actions, invoice applications and refunds through separate controller paths.

Check it worked

  • The supported send a vendor statement flow completes without bypassing permission or validation checks.
  • The resulting record, setting, status, file, delivery event or external response is visible from the relevant workspace.
  • Unexpected validation, provider or linked-record errors are investigated before retrying.

Security, privacy and operational checks

  • Apply least privilege to purchasing, vendor, invoice, payment, return, contract and report permissions.
  • Verify vendor identity, bank/payment details, tax, currency, totals and approvals before creating financial commitments.
  • Treat public links, signatures, portal files, attachments and exported reports as controlled business records.
  • Test settings and automated jobs with controlled records before production-wide use.
