NetSuite slow and hanging in Chrome
Hi. Over the past few months I have had multiple reports form users that they are having issues when access NetSuite in Google Chrome - issues include NetSuite pages failing to complete loading, drop down or other menus not working and errors or hangs when accessing and running reports.
We have tried the suggested trouble shooting steps of clearing the browser cache, using Incognito mode and performing a hard refresh, and I have even tried completely creating new Chrome user profiles, but none of that seems to fix the issue permanently.
Users that are using Microsoft Edge are not experiencing any of those issues, so it seems that there is something that Chrome handles differently to Edge that is causing the issues. Does anyone know of a permanent fix for the issues in Chrome?
Re: FAM (Fixed Assets) How to Record Mid-life or non-midlife Leases
Hi @User_FNWKM
Thanks for your update. As for the dropdown list not working for the Lease Amortization Schedule, this is actually a known issue and is currently being worked on Enhancement 549871.
As a workaround, you may try these steps and create Lease Payment Saved Search:
- Navigate to Customization > Lists, Records, & Fields > Record Types.
- On Lease Payments row, click on Search link.
- Click on Use Advanced Search box.
- Under Criteria tab, add Lease Proposal. You can then select any of the existing Lease Proposal records you want to check the schedule with.
- Click Done button.
- Click Set button.
- Under Results tab, you may add the following:
- Date
- Lease Payment
- Interest
- Balance
- Principal
- Net Present Value
- Journal
- Lease Proposal Fields....---> Document Number
- Click Save & Run.
- Note: You may add other fields according to your needs.
- You can go to SuiteIdeas page to vote for the enhancement.
- Thank you!
Regards,
Ayie
Re: Blanket Purchase Orders vs Standard POs for “amount-known / invoice-count-unknown” spend
Hi @JDov You are right. The Standard Purchase Orders are quantity-driven, not amount-driven. Once billed quantity = ordered quantity, the line (and often the PO) is considered fully billed/closed.
Also, your above mentioned scenario is indeed a current system limitation logged under Enhancement #192166 Option to enter multiple Bills for a Purchase Order on a single page.
You may opt to use Blanket PO as billing does not directly close the Blanket, releasing the full committed amount does.
For more information about Blanket Orders, please see the following SuiteAnswers:

Re: Popup Changes
Actually, you can customize the standard user note form. The thing is, the change applies to every record—e.g., Customers, Vendors, etc.—but you can try creating a workflow on a note record and loading the specific form based on your requirements if you have experience with workflows. Do the experiment and let us know, too.
You can go to Customization → Forms → Entry Forms to modify the standard note form.
Also @Red Velasco-Oracle mentioned that you are unable to add custom fields to the standard note popup form. but you can create custom field on standard note record by going into "Other Record Field" and selecting record type as "note"
Re: Stock Checking Quick Access
Hi @Nissam CP,
Apologies for the late revert on this one.
Kindly refer to the screenshots below for the Criteria and Results tab of the Saved Search I have tested:
Criteria:
Results:
When I run the search, this is how it looks like:
Kindly note the following:
Based on our testing, it is difficult to display the specific transactions where an item is committed or backordered within a single search. As an alternative, we have included links to the standard reports in the search, which you may use to review committed and backordered quantities:
- Committed Quantity – Current Inventory Snapshot Report
- Backordered Quantity – Inventory Back Order Report
Please note that these reports are not automatically filtered by specific item or location, so additional filtering may be required once you access the report.
We would also like to set expectations that creating complex reports, especially those built from scratch, is beyond the scope of Customer Support. For advanced reporting requirements, we recommend reaching out to your Account Manager for further assistance.
If you have specific questions regarding the existing reports you are currently working on, please feel free to let us know and we will be glad to assist.
Regards,
Sho

It would be helpful to have guidance articles covering taxation features and best practices for both Legacy Tax and SuiteTax.
Another useful addition would be a compilation of common workarounds for popular enhancements that have received a substantial number of votes.

Accrued Purchases and Goods in Transit Balance After Vendor Return (No Vendor Bill)
Hi Everyone,
I would appreciate your guidance on the below scenario.
We created a Purchase Order for imported items (total value: 1,000). The items were received (Item Receipt/GRN), and the GL impact was:
- Dr Inventory
- Cr Accrued Purchases
There were no additional costs involved.
The items were used temporarily for an event and then returned to the vendor. Since the vendor is not billing us for these items, no Vendor Bill has been or will be created.
To return the goods, we created a Vendor Return Authorization from the PO and then processed the Item Fulfillment. The GL impact of the fulfillment is:
- Cr Inventory
- Dr Goods in Transit (Local)
Now the issue is:
- The Accrued Purchases account still has a credit balance.
- The Goods in Transit account has a debit balance.
- No Vendor Bill exists to clear Accrued Purchases.
Some suggestions indicate passing a manual Journal Entry to clear the balances. However, I would like to understand:
- Is there a better or standard way in NetSuite to handle this scenario?
- Is there any recommended method to clear Accrued Purchases without using a Journal Entry?
- Can the GL impact of the Vendor Return Fulfillment be adjusted to reverse Accrued Purchases instead of posting to Goods in Transit?
- What would be the best practice for handling temporary import items that are returned without vendor billing?
Looking forward to your expert advice.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Nissam
SuiteTip: Inactivate Saved Searches in Bulk
Welcome back to SuiteTip, your ultimate guide to mastering NetSuite's capabilities! In this edition, we'll focus on a handy workaround that allows you to inactivate multiple searches in one go.
The Challenge: Managing an Overabundance of Saved Searches
Imagine your NetSuite account is like a well-loved library, filled with resources you've curated over time. However, just like an unorganized library, having too many saved searches can make it challenging to find the ones you need. This is especially true for searches that are no longer relevant or used, creating a cluttered and disorganized workspace.
As your business evolves, so do your data analysis needs. Saved searches that were once essential might now be outdated, taking up valuable space and making it harder to navigate your NetSuite efficiently. This is a common challenge for power users who frequently create custom searches for various projects and tasks.
For other record types, you can simply run a mass update or a CSV Import to update the Inactive checkbox on the records. Unfortunately, this is not possible for Saved Searches since the ability to Mass Update Saved to inactivate/delete saved searches is still a known system limitation logged under the following enhancement requests:
- Enhancement # 96718: Lists > Search > Mass Update > New > have the ability to select a Saved Search to perform the Mass Update
- Enhancement # 170545: List > Mass Update > Mass Update : Provide ability to mass delete saved searches
The Workaround: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Create a new Saved Search by navigating to Lists > Search > Saved Searches > New
- Select Saved Search
- Enter a Search Title
- Mark the Available as List View checkbox
- Under the Criteria tab, add filters as necessary (example: Inactive - No, Last Run On before 01/01/2020, etc.)
- (optional) Under the Results tab, add or remove columns as necessary (Note: Do NOT add Inactive column in the Result)
- Click Save
- Open the List View of your Saved Searches by navigating to Lists > Search > Saved Searches
- Change the View to the Saved Search you just created
- Click the Show Inactives checkbox
- Open the Browser Console (Hit F12 then select Console)
- Copy and Paste the code:
document.querySelectorAll('[aria-label="Inactive"]').forEach((e) => {
e.click();
}); - Press Enter
You will notice that all the Inactive checkboxes on the list in the current page will be ticked. - Click Submit
- Repeat steps 12-14 until you have inactivated all the Saved Searches that matched your set criteria.
What does the code do?
document.querySelectorAll('[aria-label="Inactive"]').forEach((e) => {e.click();});
In essence, this code automates the process of clicking on all checkboxes in the Inactive column on the current page. It's a handy tool to quickly set the Saved Searches to Inactive, instead of manually clicking the checkboxes one by one.
It can save a lot of time and effort, specially if you have hundreds, or even thousands of Saved Searches you want to clean up.
Note: The number of rows in your list depends on what is set on your Home > Set Preferences > General > Optimizing NetSuite > Number of Rows in List Segments preference. Set this to a higher number if you want to lessen the frequency of repeating steps 12-14.
