Scheduled NetSuite CSV Imports
The organization requires a scalable and user-friendly mechanism for bulk data entry into NetSuite via CSV files. This need arises from operational teams frequently handling large volumes of records such as customers, vendors, employees, or contacts, which are impractical to enter manually. To streamline this process, a Suitelet interface allows users to upload CSV files and specify the target record type and recipient email. A background Map/Reduce script processes the uploaded data, dynamically maps fields based on predefined configurations, creates the corresponding NetSuite records, and sends an email notification summarizing success or failure.
