AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
When creating a custom segment to set as a fair value dimension, you might see two duplicate fields to select as a fair value dimension. This is likely due to the way NetSuite handles custom segments and custom fields. A custom segment can be considered "GL Impacting", meaning the data will lock automatically by managing the accounting period. They also appear in the "Column" option of financial statements, allowing for easier comparative reports. On the other hand, custom fields do not have these capabilities. However, they can be converted into custom records and have custom fields added to the record. Then they will be available to segment financial reports and the coveted view by columns for comparative analysis. In terms of why you're seeing two duplicate fields, it's possible that one is the custom segment and the other is the custom field. It's also possible that there's a duplication in the system, which can happen in certain scenarios. Remember, when setting up a fair value dimension, it's important to use a list/record field type, as a checkbox or other simple field types will not be sufficient for NetSuite to evaluate your rules. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
