When creating a custom solution to import records that are not natively supported by NS such as intercompany transfer orders, is it better to create a custom record that will be used for CSV import and then have a script copy the data from the custom record to the actual transaction? Or is it better to create a script to parse a CSV file directly?

Hi @Luis. The option with a Custom Record is better, as it creates a staging element and makes it easier to troubleshoot and audit the import. Parsing a file is always riskier and harder to troubleshoot/audit.

Thank you. That makes sense.
@Tigran do I also need to create a custom subrecord, so I can replicate the line items or can enter multiple items?
