The #NetSuite Input Dialog, one of our favorite hacks, has been updated for the 2022.1 release which broke some functionality.

We still hope that NetSuite will produce a native solution in the near future. In the meantime, #netsuiteinsights has got you covered!

In our latest #NetSuiteInsights article, superstar contributor, Michoel Chaikin, extends our earlier solution for generating more meaningful amortization JE memos to overcome #NetSuite limitations in specific configurations!

Thanks Michoel for your sharing your findings and for giving us one of the most useful NetSuite Chrome Extensions ever: NetSuite Field Explorer!

Ever had that rush of cold sweat when you realized that you probably messed up big time in your client's #NetSuite account? You're not alone...

#NetSuiteInsights contributor - Brian Wenzl - knows all about that. Join him as he relives his experience and shares the insights he gained on Multi-book accounting. The documentation around posting entries before the effective date of the Secondary Books is rather ambiguous and suggests that it is not possible, but it is!

You too, like Brian, can become a NetSuite Insights contributor. Reach out via the link at the end of the article to learn more.

#NetSuite has (understandably) tightened security around HTML in saved search results. Thus, previous approaches for adding hyperlinks to multi-select fields may no longer work...

However, where there's a will (and some regexp), there's a way! Learn how to solve this challenge in our latest #NetSuiteInsights article by Chidi Okwudire.

The #NetSuite 2022.2 release features a tooltip to help with sublist UX issues. While that might be helpful, it does not beat the sticky headers "hack" that we released in 2020.

Learn more about it and how to get it for free. Your users will love it (or simply not notice because it's so natural and intuitive)!

Using NetSuite's units of measure (UOM) system and wondering how to perform conversions in #SuiteScript?

Deploying entry and transaction forms from Sandbox to Production can be a huge pain. The conventional wisdom is to "just do it by hand". Quite a headache 😰, isn't it?

Did you know that #NetSuite offers three out-of-the-box automated options for deploying customizations from one account to another?

In this article, I used a real example (Sales Order form) to review the strengths and weaknesses of each approach, allowing you to choose the option that is best suited for your situation. I also present a novel approach that supersedes NetSuite’s native offerings. So, the next time you have to deploy your form customizations, don't assume that the manual approach is the best option.

It's that time of the year again! If you got NetSuite certified prior to January 1, 2022, you need to take the annual maintenance quiz to retain your certification(s).

- It's free until Dec 18, 2022
- It's 50% off until Jan 15, 2023
- It'll cost the full price of $50 after that

It's an open book, easy formality so get it done soon and forget about it.

Ever tried downloading a #NetSuite saved search via the UI or SDF? You may have noticed that the resulting XML content is encoded. It can be quite frustrating when you want to inspect the configuration of a search or quickly see what has changed, but all you see is a bunch of gibberish.

In my latest #netsuiteinsights article, I walk you through an easy way to decode saved search metadata for free (and with zero coding) using Salto! Having access to the metadata makes it possible and/or easier to address several saved search-related challenges such as tracking down the search that is triggering specific emails, finding searches that use a specific field, and identifying searches that are sending emails upon record creation or modification. Plain text metadata also makes it much easier to catalog everything that has changed in a saved search without digging through several lines of analytics audit trail logs.

Check the article out; I'd also love to hear what other use cases this feature makes possible or easier for you.

In his latest #netsuiteinsights article, Chidi Okwudire shares how to attach a user note to a custom record entry using #SuiteScript without hardcoding the record type's internal ID. On an equally interesting note, he performed an experiment with ChatGPT to see if it could solve this #NetSuite challenge. Read the article to find out how well the bot fared.
