The following is an example of an update Vendor Bill where we are changing some of the fields (see [Vendor Bill](docId\:wmEla-0pAuxvjSE0u1faK) for all available fields). The NetSuite Vendor Bill Id (internalId) is required to update the Vendor Bill.

Note: You can only update one record at a time.

The response returns the complete Vendor Bill information, but we have shortened the response in our example for ease of reading.
