So I’ve been the NetSuite admin for our company since implementation, but one thing I’ve never really gotten my head around was scripting. Is there a good resource for getting started with SuiteScript?

For example, right now I need to script the line level of an estimate record, so that when someone puts in an item number the script looks up another value based on that item and the customer and fills in a field automatically (essentially I need to fix NetSuite’s broken customer part number implementation). But right now I have literally no idea where to start.

Where should us beginners go?

Hi jokell

I would start in the help center, there are lots of good resources and examples sample scripts. Without looking too much into your requirement, you may be able to leverage field sourcing that doesn’t require any scripting.

How are your general Javascript skills? I wouldn’t recommend starting NS scripting until you are at least comfortable with basic JS.

Personally I started by just reading through the help center documentation and then experimenting in our sandbox.

NS does offer SuiteScript courses, and I believe erictgrubaugh offers his own training

Thanks for the shoutout michoel !

Yes, I offer various levels of training for those looking to break into scripting! I offer a coaching/mentoring program for individuals, and I offer structured training courses for teams/businesses.

If you’re looking for free resources, I’m currently focusing heavily on writing some introductory documentation here: http://stackoverflow.com/documentation/netsuite/topics, and I’ve got a YouTube channel in its infancy here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXc…QzzLIbreiBAsmg

​As michoel mentioned, you absolutely want a strong foundation in JavaScript first. I typically recommend taking CodeSchool’s “JavaScript Language” Learning Path: https://www.codeschool.com/learn/javascript, and also reading and experimenting through MDN’s JavaScript Guide: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript.

Lastly, join our completely free Slack community of nearly 300 NetSuite Professionals: http://netsuiteprofessionals.com/ You’ll want to pay particular attention to the #suitecloud room, which is where the developer conversation usually happens.
