NetSuite Record Structure

The figure below shows a standard customer record in NetSuite.

The figure outlines the basic components of the record:

1. Body fields - for example, name, ID, or email. Body fields are placed either on the main area of the record or on a subtab.

2. Sublists - for example, the Info sublist on a customer record. A sublist consists of line items and their fields.

3. Subrecords - for example, the address subrecord. A subrecord includes many of the same elements as standard NetSuite records, for example, body fields, sublists, and sublist fields. However, you can only create, edit, remove, or view a subrecord from within the context of its parent record.

You can use REST web services to get and set values on body fields and sublists. You can also use REST web services to create these components.

Creating, updating, and deleting subrecords is not supported.
