In SS2.0

09/05/2023, 4:39 PMNetsuite likes using different names for the same objects
Time, Time Entry, Time Bill: all the same stuff!! It depends where you look.

09/05/2023, 4:54 PMYes I checked there already and there are Time and Time Entry
The issue is Time Entry is not supported by SS but Time (timebill) is

09/05/2023, 4:56 PMIf for "Time Entry" you mean an actual time linked to a Task or a Case or an Event, that is timebill and the code I reported does exactly what you are asking for

09/05/2023, 5:01 PMI am reading on Record Browser: despite timebill and timeentry are separate items on the list, I think they are exactly the same. I created a lot of timebills in my last projects and they were indistinguishable from those created by UI

09/05/2023, 5:06 PMthe main difference is that the timebill record is used for billing and invoicing, while the timeentry record is used for tracking time entries within a timesheet.

The timebill record is used to record billable hours and invoice customers. It is available when the Time Tracking feature is enabled.
The timeentry record is a subrecord of the timesheet record and is used to track time entries for a specific project or task. It is not used in the newest version of the timesheet record.
