Need to update records, but can't specify the field to use as an ID
I'm importing a HUGE csv file that has 2 columns;
code
description
code is unique for each record and has the following format: 00.00.00
Because of this format I cannot map the code field to the internalId of the record.
My custom record has 2 fields, as you might have guessed they are:
code

Great, I can import this data fine. The problem is when I want to update the records with a revised csv file NetSuite isn't updating, but adding. I'm sure this is because there is no internalId field in my csv. I can't create an internal ID field in my csv file because there is no guarantee I will get the data in the same order again.
