Netsuite.cru -

netsuite.cru typically refers to a Crystal Reports definition file that has been integrated or exported for use within the Oracle NetSuite ecosystem. The .cru extension denotes a binary file structure used by Crystal Reports to store report layouts, data source connections, and formula logic.

In the context of NetSuite, this file serves as a bridge between the ERP’s backend data architecture and external or embedded reporting tools, allowing for advanced financial formatting not natively available in the standard SuiteAnalytics or PDF/HTML rendering engines.

Creating a record is the most common operation. You initialize a new record, set field values, and submit it. netsuite.cru

Basic Example: Creating a Sales Order

/**
 * @NApiVersion 2.1
 * @NScriptType MapReduceScript
 */
define(['N/record'], (record) => 
    const createSalesOrder = () => 
        try 
            let salesOrder = record.create(
                type: record.Type.SALES_ORDER,
                isDynamic: true // Allows field-by-field setting
            );
        salesOrder.setValue(
            fieldId: 'entity',
            value: 123 // Internal ID of the customer
        );
salesOrder.setValue(
            fieldId: 'tranid',
            value: 'SO-EXT-001' // External ID to prevent duplicates
        );
let newOrderId = salesOrder.save();
        log.debug('Order Created', `New Sales Order ID: $newOrderId`);
     catch (e) 
        log.error('Error', e.message);
;
return  execute: createSalesOrder ;

);

Pro Tip: Always use isDynamic: true when you need conditional fields or sublist logic. For simple data injection, isDynamic: false is faster. netsuite

To store audit logs, create a custom record with these fields:

| Field ID | Type | Purpose | |----------|------|---------| | custrecord_affected_record | Integer (Record reference) | Stores the ID of the record being changed | | custrecord_operation | Text (List: CREATE, UPDATE, DELETE) | Type of CRU operation | | custrecord_performed_by | Integer (Employee reference) | User who performed operation | | custrecord_timestamp | Date/Time | When operation occurred | Pro Tip: Always use isDynamic: true when you

This is an example of what a typical custom record script file looks like in a NetSuite account customizing a "CRU" (Custom Record Usage) object:

/**
 * @NApiVersion 2.x
 * @NScriptType customrecord
 */
define([], function() 
    /**
     * Defines the Custom Record script.
     * This script is attached to a custom record type.
     */
    return 
        // custom record scripts do not typically have entry points like beforeLoad or afterSubmit
        // unless they are implementing specific plugins or workflow actions.
        // This is a placeholder for the definition file.
    ;
