Classification Handling on Custom Transactions
The classifications that you can set on custom lines for a custom transaction depend on the configuration of the custom transaction type.
You can set the following preferences for departments, classes, and locations on a custom transaction:
|
Preference |
Custom Lines Handling |
|---|---|
|
None |
No value is required for the department, class, or location on instances of the custom transaction. |
|
Header |
Specify the classification at the header level for instances of the custom transaction. All custom lines inherit this value. If you use a CustomLine method to set the classification value, NetSuite ignores the value and uses the header value on all custom lines. |
|
Line |
Specify the classification at the line–item level for all lines on the custom transaction. You must use a CustomLine method to set the value of the classification on each custom line created by the plug-in implementation. Otherwise, you cannot save the transaction. |
The classification settings on a custom transaction override any general accounting preferences you specify at Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences. For example, you make the department classification required for transactions in the general accounting preferences, but set the Department option on a custom transaction type to None. Consequently, the Department classification is not required for instances of the custom transaction, overriding the general accounting preferences.
