New to NetSuite | N/record: record.delete.promise(options) method

In our previous article, New to NetSuite | Understanding SuiteScript 2.x Modules, we explored the SuiteScript Modules and N/record module, New to NetSuite | N/record Module Overview, which is used to interact with records. Now, we will take a closer look at one of the members of N/record: record.delete.promise(options) method

The method record.delete.promise(options) is used to delete a record asynchronously using Promises (SuiteScript 2.1+ syntax). It's the asynchronous equivalent of record.delete(options).

It improves script performance, keeps your code cleaner, and enables better handling of long-running operations. This approach is especially helpful when building Suitelets, Map/Reduce scripts, or tools for cleaning up temporary records, as it allows scripts to process records without blocking execution and can lead to more scalable, maintainable solutions.
