NetSuite Admin Tips | Workflow: Use -System- as the user in a condition
NetSuite often contains sensitive financial data such as payroll, budgeting, and financial statements. Limiting access to administrators ensures that only authorized personnel can view or modify this critical information, reducing the risk of data breaches or fraudulent activities.
With this, a lot of companies has a Workflow that locks a record whenever the User is not an Administrator. However, it’s common that they’ll encounter an error of “This record has been locked by a user defined workflow” whenever they process their records. This is because the records that are being processed are created by the -System- as the user.
