    The issue is usually caused by following

    • Wrong script file version deployed (editing a file in the File Cabinet but not re-deploying).

    • Browser caching the old Client Script โ€” NetSuite caches aggressively.

    • Incorrect module path in Suitelet forms (form.clientScriptModulePath).

    • Field IDs mismatch (using custfield_x instead of the actual internal ID).

    • Script deployed on the wrong record type or not linked properly to the form.

    Tip: Always clear your browser cache, redeploy after making edits, and confirm that the deployment is on the correct record/form. For Suitelets, explicitly attach the client script to the form.

    Please provide more details, like the script code youโ€™re using, and let us know if the issue is still occurring after clearing cache and redeploying. This will help narrow down if the issue is deployment-related, script logic, or environment caching.

    Steps to send an Invoice PDF by email: define(['N/email', 'N/render', 'N/record', 'N/file'], function(email, render, record, file) { function sendInvoice(id, recipientId) { // Load record var invRec = record.load({type: record.Type.INVOICE, id: id}); // Render PDF var pdfFile = render.transaction({eRead more

    Steps to send an Invoice PDF by email:

    define(['N/email', 'N/render', 'N/record', 'N/file'], 
function(email, render, record, file) {
function sendInvoice(id, recipientId) {
// Load record
var invRec = record.load({type: record.Type.INVOICE, id: id});

// Render PDF
var pdfFile = render.transaction({entityId: id, printMode: render.PrintMode.PDF});

// Send Email
email.send({
author: -5, // -5 = system user
recipients: recipientId,
subject: 'Invoice ' + invRec.getValue('tranid'),
body: 'Please find attached invoice.',
attachments: [pdfFile]
});
}
return {execute: sendInvoice};
});

    ๐Ÿ‘‰ Ensure the author (sender) has an email address set. Use -5 for system default sender.

    How do I avoid SSS_USAGE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED in a Map/Reduce script?

    This error means your script hit NetSuiteโ€™s governance usage limit (e.g., 10,000 units for Map/Reduce).

    This error means your script hit NetSuiteโ€™s governance usage limit (e.g., 10,000 units for Map/Reduce). To avoid it:

    • Use the right script type:
      For bulk processing, use Map/Reduce instead of Scheduled or User Event scripts. Map/Reduce is designed to break data into small chunks.

    • Batch data:
      If processing search results, fetch in pages (e.g., 500 or 1,000 at a time). Use search.runPaged({pageSize: 500}).

    • Lightweight map stage:
      Do only lightweight tasks in map() and push data into reduce(). Example: pass record IDs instead of full objects.

    • Check remaining usage:

      const remaining = runtime.getCurrentScript().getRemainingUsage();
      if (remaining < 200) {
      // reschedule or yield
      return;
      }

    • Yield in long loops (Scheduled scripts):
      If stuck with Scheduled scripts, use nlapiYieldScript() (1.0) or break loops manually.

    ๐Ÿ‘‰ Best Practice: Always design Map/Reduce as stateless batches โ€” if one chunk fails, others continue.
