Custom Segments

The Custom Segments feature lets you create custom classification fields similar to class, department, and location.

For information specific to Not-for-Profit (NFP), see Custom Segments for NFP Financials.

This feature, also known as SuiteSegments, is part of the SuiteGL feature set. Other SuiteGL features include Custom Transactions and Custom GL Lines. For more about SuiteGL, see SuiteGL Features Overview.

For information about the Balancing Segments feature, which depends on custom segments, see Balancing Segments and Journals.

Important:

SuiteScript does not support direct access to the NetSuite UI through the Document Object Model (DOM). You should access the NetSuite UI only by using SuiteScript APIs. For information about using SuiteScript APIs to customize the UI, see SuiteScript 2.x Custom Pages.

Custom segments are supported in SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF). SDF is a development framework that you can use to create SDF SuiteApps, or to customize NetSuite accounts, using an integrated development environment (IDE) on your local computer. SuiteCloud projects are file-based and use XML definitions of custom NetSuite objects. For more information, see SDF Custom Object and File Development in SuiteCloud Projects.
