Transaction Types

You can create a custom transaction when you need to capture an event in your general ledger that is specific to your business. With the custom transactions feature, you can create custom transaction types that are configured to reflect your specific needs and business logic. For example, you can create a custom transaction to record adjustments for nonoperational income, such as investment income or currency exchanges.

Custom transactions types use the same features available with standard NetSuite transactions types, such as purchases, payables, sales, billing, customers, and so on. Support for these features makes it possible for each transaction type to have its own unique behavior and processing. For example, you can restrict access to a limited set of users, include custom transactions in bundles, and reference them when you create workflows.
