SuiteScript Sublists

Introduction to SuiteScript Sublists

In NetSuite, sublists are used to handle line items on records like sales orders, purchase orders, and invoices. They allow developers to programmatically access and manipulate line items to streamline data processing and ensure data integrity.

SuiteScript provides a robust API to interact with these sublists, enabling developers to perform a wide range of operations such as adding, removing, or updating line items programmatically.

Accessing Sublists in SuiteScript

To work with sublists in SuiteScript, you must first understand how to access them. You can use the record module to load a record and then interact with its sublist.

Manipulating Sublist Line Items

Once you have accessed a sublist, you can perform various operations on its line items. For example, you can add new line items, remove existing ones, or update specific fields on a line item.

Best Practices for Using Sublists

• Validate Input: Always validate user input to ensure data integrity when adding or updating line items.
• Check Permissions: Ensure that the script has the necessary permissions to modify the record and its sublists.
• Error Handling: Implement error handling to manage exceptions, especially when dealing with large datasets.
• Optimize Performance: Minimize the number of times you load or save a record to enhance script performance.
