Case-study

A case study on two monthly journal feeds, a four-file ETL batch and a payroll summary report, and the CSV task pipeline that picks the right files from SFTP, reshapes them for a saved CSV import, and counts what actually got imported when task.checkStatus() only says "COMPLETE".

A case study on reusing a bulk approval design for Journal Entries on a custom multi-level approval-route engine, plus five bugs that only appeared after go-live: role checks, OR-logic routes, sublist limits, summary searches, and deploy manifests.

A case study on a self-chaining Map/Reduce that reconciled CSV imports by searching for the imported journals, and used up its retry budget in about a minute. The fix: retry for a fixed amount of wall-clock time, not a fixed number of attempts.

A case study on NO_DEPLOYMENTS_AVAILABLE and RCRD_HAS_BEEN_CHANGED: how a workflow action that queued a Map/Reduce could undo an approval during bulk runs, and how an eventually consistent sweep fixed it.

A real-world case study: how to let approvers clear hundreds of NetSuite transactions at once without bypassing the existing approval workflow, hitting governance limits, or losing track of what failed.

A case study on a custom Suitelet page that created two or three identical payment requests when users clicked Generate more than once on a slow connection, and the two-layer fix.

A case study on stopping edits to approved purchase order variations: a View-mode redirect that triggered permission errors, a server-side block that sent error emails, and the layered lock that finally worked.
