NetSuite Admin Tip | Creating Custom Fields
Custom fields play a vital role in streamlining processes within any company by allowing users to capture and organize specific data tailored to their unique business needs. Whether tracking product specifications, production stages, or client preferences, custom fields provide the flexibility to adapt systems and workflows efficiently, enhancing overall productivity and decision-making capabilities.
In NetSuite, when creating custom fields, it's important to keep a few key tips in mind:
1.Field ID: It is better to start with an underscore, use lowercase only (eg:_idname) every custom field will have the word “cust” (eg: custody, custcol, custentity) to identify that it is a custom field.
