The Vendor Center role in NetSuite is designed for vendors to access specific information related to their dealings with the company using NetSuite. This includes viewing payment history, which is crucial for vendors to track payments made to them. The Vendor Center role does not typically have permissions to create purchase requests (option B), update item pricing (option C), or submit support cases (option D) as these actions are beyond the scope of what a vendor would need or be allowed to do within a customer's NetSuite environment. Viewing payment history allows vendors to monitor outstanding invoices, past payments, and payment statuses, which is vital for managing their accounts receivable and ensuring financial transparency between the vendor and the company.References: NetSuite Help Documentation on Vendor Center Role Permissions.

The "Show Owner on Record" setting in the configuration of a custom record type is designed to display the user who created or "owns" the record directly on the record entry itself. When this option is enabled, the record will include a field that identifies the user who initially created the record, providing clarity on record ownership and accountability. This feature is particularly useful for tracking purposes, auditing, and managing records where individual responsibility or authorship is important to document and maintain visibility on within the organization.
