New To NetSuite | Custom Field Types: Date/Time vs. Time of Day

edited Aug 22, 2025 4:52PM in SuiteBuilder & SuiteBundler

NetSuite provides both Time of Day and Date/Time custom field types to record time-related information. While they may seem alike, each is designed for a specific use case—Date/Time captures both the calendar date and the exact time, whereas Time of Day is intended for storing only the time, independent of any date.

Example Use Cases for Date/Time Fields:

  • System logs or timestamps
  • Meeting or appointment times
  • Time-sensitive approvals or alerts
  • Service level agreement (SLA) tracking

Example Use Cases for Time of Day fields:

  • Employee Shift Start/End Time
  • Store Opening or Closing Time
  • Cutoff Time for Daily Orders
