Difference between JournalEntry's tranId and internalId
When a `JournalEntry` is created, just like any other record, it gets a new `internalId` to uniquely identify it. But it also has a field `tranId` that gets incremented by 1 by default. I am now confused what's the difference amongst the two? Which one should I use if I want to store a reference to the posted `JournalEntry` in my system. Are there any best practices regarding this?
This is what the help section for tranId reads:
NetSuite increases the largest journal entry number by one. If you wish, you can type another number. The next journal entry number will revert to the standard pattern. You can enter a maximum of 45 characters in this field.
