The field label is coming from

10/31/2023, 1:06 AMThat seems like the Finnish (or another Nordics bundle, they share PDF layout) Localization which is a white-labelled bundle from SuiteApp publisher/consultancy Staria. The reason localization bundles use custom fields is because they usually need several fields, vat number, business id, org id and they may need specific validation or print considerations (invoice in Finnish or English depending on customer language setup.)
At least in an earlier version this invoice template had references to entity language and the last else statement pointed at the label as a fallback (but would not necessarily be set.) Most companies also ahve several VAT registrations which is not possible to handle in legacy tax at all, so again custom fields are needed.

It is complex because it can also handle creation/print of structured payment references using modulo algorithms and similar. These may be optional but e.g. in Finland so common that you essentially could not sell them Netsuite unless this was checked off the list as supported.
