You can create custom record types to collect and store information that is not included in NetSuite. For example, your company may need to track information about computer and electronic equipment. If there is no such standard record type in NetSuite, you can create a custom record type called Equipment. Then you can add custom fields to collect and store the equipment information needed.
Custom records can be attached to standard records and other custom records making them child record types. These child record types can be used to track specific information that requires multiple fields on a record.
Similar to standard transactions and records, you can customize the forms used to enter custom record instances and set up forms for various roles. Customizing a form involves determining which fields appear, how these fields are arranged, and which roles use the form.
