How to Execute the Batch Setup Job in NetSuite?
In NetSuite, “batch setup” typically refers to the configuration and management of batch processing. Batch processing is a method where a series of transactions or tasks are grouped together and executed as a single unit. This is in contrast to real-time processing, where transactions are processed immediately upon entry.
Its job is a process that helps in scheduling and executing various batch jobs within the system.
If you are referring to a custom script or a SuiteScript with the name “Batch_Setup,” you would typically execute it by scheduling it in the NetSuite environment. Here are general steps for scheduling a SuiteScript:
