To perform operations on Netsuite records and objects, it is crucial to understand search functionality provided by Netsuite. Netsuite offers basic and advanced search objects on various record types, and their operations are practically the same.

SimpleSAMLphp is an open-source application that implements SAML 2.0 and Shibboleth 1.3 Single Sign-On (SSO).

Netsuite allows an administrator to add custom fields and custom records via GUI. Custom fields are business specific attributes defined by the company to tailor Netsuite.

To show internal ID on Netsuite GUI, it must be turned on by going to Home -> Set Preferences -> General -> Defaults, and checking "Show Internal IDs" checkbox.
