We must select the record types the field is available on. If no record types are selected, the field cannot be used.
Once a record type is selected, the field is automatically displayed on all forms of that record type including any custom forms of that type. If necessary, custom forms can then be edited to not show the new custom field.
1. Click the Applies To subtab.
2. Tick the boxes to indicate the records you want this field to display.
Note the following:
- Record custom fields can be added to existing and custom subtabs on the entry forms you use to enter records in your NetSuite account.
- Transaction custom fields can be added to the top (body) or the line items (columns) of transactions. When adding a custom field to the body of a transaction, you apply the field to the type of transaction.
- When adding a custom field to the line items of a transaction, you apply the field to the type of line item.
Warning
If you assign a custom field to a record type that is a child of another record, that custom field may not always show on the parent record forms.
