Major Issue with New Sandbox Approach
It is my understanding that the new "Sandbox" accounts will replace Clone accounts starting 1/1/07. Further, the Sandbox account would be automaticallly refreshed from the Production account once a month. This presents a major issue for us, and I suspect many other NetSuite customers.
We have used the Clone account for development, testing, and training, but primarily for development and testing. By eliminating Clones and doing an auto-refresh of the Sandbox, it makes the Sandbox account worthless to us, and leaves us without a good tool and approach for developing new customizations and thoroughly testing them PRIOR to release to the Production account.
