Customizations Supported by SuiteCloud Development Framework

SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF) provides you with a way to customize NetSuite using SuiteCloud project components instead of using the NetSuite interface. These components can consist of files, scripts, and SDF custom objects such as custom records, custom forms, and workflows. Such components are sometimes referred to as customizations, SDF custom objects, and XML definitions. For more information, see SuiteCloud Development Framework.

Tip:

You can see the root XML tag and script ID prefix for each SDF custom object in SDF Custom Object File Structure.

The following customizations are supported as SDF custom objects:

Lists, Records, & Fields

• List, see Custom Lists as XML Definitions and customlist

• Record type, see Custom Record Types as XML Definitions and customrecordtype

• Custom segment, see Custom Segments as XML Definitions and customsegment

• Transaction type, see Custom Transaction Record Types as XML Definitions and customtransactiontype

• Entity field, see Custom Entity Fields as XML Definitions and entitycustomfield

• Item field, see Custom Item Fields as XML Definitions and itemcustomfield

• CRM field, see Custom CRM Fields as XML Definitions and crmcustomfield

• Transaction body field, see Custom Transaction Body Fields as XML Definitions and transactionbodycustomfield

• Transaction line field (formerly transaction column field), see Custom Transaction Line Fields as XML Definitions and transactioncolumncustomfield

• Transaction Item option field, see Custom Transaction Item Option Fields as XML Definitions and itemoptioncustomfield

• Item number field, see Custom Item Number Fields as XML Definitions and itemnumbercustomfield

• Other record field (formerly other custom field), see Custom Other Record Fields as XML Definitions and othercustomfield

Forms

Note:

You cannot create new address forms, entry forms and transaction forms using SDF. To work with those forms in SDF, you must first import them from a NetSuite account into a SuiteCloud project. See Account Component Imports to SuiteCloud Projects.

• Address form, see Custom Address Forms as XML Definitions and addressForm

• Entry form, see Custom Entry Forms as XML Definitions and entryForm

• Transaction form, see Transaction Forms as XML Definitions and transactionForm

• Sublist, see Sublists as XML Definitions and sublist

• Subtab, see Subtabs as XML Definitions and subtab

Import/Export

• Saved CSV import, see Saved CSV Import Maps as XML Definitions and savedcsvimport

• Saved search, see Saved Searches as XML Definitions and savedsearch

  Note:

  Do not manually edit the savedsearch XML in SDF. Modifications to the system-generated XML may result in validation and deployment failures. You should customize saved searches with NetSuite rather than SDF.

  Important:

  Do not modify the contents of the definition structure or its character data. Modifications may damage the workbook data when you deploy the modified object to a target NetSuite account.

  You should use NetSuite to modify custom workbooks rather than using SDF to modify workbook objects. After you save your changes in NetSuite and re-import the workbook into your SuiteCloud project, the workbook object gets updated safely and automatically.
