AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
Yes, custom CSV installs do need to be built a certain way to be uploaded correctly into NetSuite. The CSV data must be formatted correctly to match the field types in NetSuite. For example, if you have a custom field that is Free Form Text and you want to upload data with leading zeros, you need to ensure that the data in the CSV is preserved as text. This is because applications like Excel may try to interpret the data as numbers and remove the leading zeros. When importing data from a CSV file into NetSuite, it's important to note that NetSuite can be very particular about the format of the CSV file. The data must be structured in a way that NetSuite can understand and process. If you're using Excel to create or modify your CSV file, you should use the Excel Data Import Wizard to ensure the CSV data is preserved correctly. You can access this by going to Data > From Text/CSV in Excel. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
