Viewing an Advanced Template in the Template Editor

To see an advanced template in the template editor, go to Customization > Forms > Advanced PDF/HTML Templates and:

Click Customize for a standard advanced template to review it and create a customized version of it, or
Click Edit for a custom advanced template to review it and make further changes as needed.

Note:

By default, the first custom template you create for a print type is named Custom PDF/HTML Template. After that, each new template of the same type adds a sequence number to the name. For example, the standard advanced template for purchase orders is named Standard Purchase PDF/HTML Template. The first custom advanced template for purchase orders has a default name of Custom Purchase PDF/HTML Template, and the next custom advanced templates for purchase orders have default names of Custom Purchase PDF/HTML Template 2 and Custom Purchase PDF/HTML Template 3.

Important:

Records are used to populate some values in the template. NetSuite runs all before load scripts to get updates on the records and it triggers all Before Record Load Actions in workflows before it loads the template in the editor. If any before load scripts or workflow actions fail, an error message appears and you can't edit the template until the script or workflow issues are resolved.

The following table shows the records that are accessed by each template type.
