Handling Missing “Approval” Field in NetSuite CSV Import

Issue:

The “Approval” field is not available by default in NetSuite’s CSV import templates, which can hinder the approval process for imported records.

Solutions:

1. Manual Approval:

• After importing data, manually update the approval status by editing each record in NetSuite’s UI.

1. Automate with SuiteScript:

• Use SuiteScript to automatically trigger the approval process based on predefined conditions after the import.

Conclusion:

Since the “Approval” field is not included in CSV imports by default, manual updates, or SuiteScript can be used to manage the approval process.
