Create a Customer record using SuiteScript 2.0

A new Customer Record needs to be created individually in NetSuite. A fast and easy way to do so is using the NetSuite Suite Script Debugger. It makes easier to troubleshoot and adapt later Suite Script developments on the account.

1. Navigate to Customization > Scripting > Script Debugger
2. Select SuiteScript 2.0 as the API Version

Note: Make sure that the mandatory fields in the Customer Record are set and filled as needed. 

require(['N/record'])
    var record = require('N/record')
    var customer = record.create({
        type: record.Type.CUSTOMER,
        isDynamic: true
    });


    customer.setValue('isperson', 'T');
    customer.setValue('firstname', 'Customer First Name');
    customer.setValue('lastname', 'Customer Last Name');
    customer.setValue('subsidiary', '1');
    customer.setValue('email', 'customer.email@netsuite.com');


    var customerID = customer.save();
    log.debug('customerID = ' + customerID);
