Models like Cohere, Llama, or Oracle models support different languages.
β Compliance & data residency laws
Some countries require in-region processing or additional controls.
β Account configuration
Admins may disable certain features (e.g., Text Enhance).
β Permissions
Only specific roles can access Prompt Studio and AI configuration pages.
β 6. What to Check if an AI Feature Is Not Appearing
If a feature does not show up:
β Check your NetSuite account region
(Localization affects access)
β Check your language preferences
(Text Enhance depends on this)
β Ensure SuiteScript Server is enabled
Required for the N/llm module
β Review role permissions
Especially:
- ADMIN_PROMPTS
- Setup permissions
- Allow AI features
β Confirm your account is on a supported data center
(UAE accounts must be in Amsterdam or Frankfurt)
β Verify whether youβre in production or sandbox
(CPQ AI is sandbox-only)
