Enabling SuiteScript Features in NetSuite

To use SuiteScript in NetSuite, it's essential to enable the appropriate SuiteScript features. This process, managed by an Administrator, ensures your NetSuite environment is prepared for development.

How Do You Enable SuiteScript in NetSuite?

To enable SuiteScript, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Setup > Company > Enable Features.
2. Select the SuiteCloud subtab.
3. Check the boxes for Client SuiteScript or Server SuiteScript (or both) depending on your needs.
