Configuring Items from the Customer...

Starting in NetSuite 2026.1, users leveraging the Customer Center can now configure items directly from transactions, provided they have the appropriate role assignments for various script deployments. This functionality significantly enhances the transaction processing experience for customers.

Configuring Item Scripts

To enable item configuration from transactions, administrators must ensure that the necessary roles are associated with the relevant NetSuite CPQ Configurator script deployments. Below is a summary of the required roles for each script deployment:

Script Name	Script Deployment ID	Script Type	Role	Purpose
CPQC-ST-Client	customdeploy_cpqc_st_client	Client	Customer Center	Allows users to configure items from transactions in the Customer Center.
CPQC-CL-SalesOrder	customdeploy_cpqc_cl_sales_order	Client	Customer Center	Configure items from various transaction types in the Customer Center.
CPQC-UE-SalesOrder	customdeploy_cpqc_ue_sales_order	User Event	Customer Center	Enables adding new items to transactions where fewer than 300 items exist.

Note: For users employing custom Customer Center roles, it's crucial to select the correct role associated with the customer record. This can be verified in the System Information section by navigating to the Access tab and reviewing the Role field.

Assigning Required Roles

To assign the required roles to each script deployment, follow these steps:

Navigate to Customizations > Scripting > Script Deployments.
In the Filters section, set the Type field to the relevant script deployment type.
Locate and edit the required script deployment.
Go to the Audience subtab.
In the External Roles field, select the required roles needed for configuration.
Click Save to apply the changes.

Important Deployment Notes

Ensure that the specified roles are added to all relevant transaction deployments used in the Customer Center, such as credit memos, invoices, and sales orders, to fully leverage the new configuration capabilities.
The configuration process allows users to enhance item customization while managing transactions, thus improving user experience and operational efficiency.
