So you need suitescripts to run workflows

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, SuiteScripts and workflows (SuiteFlow) are two different tools that can be used for customizing your account. They serve different purposes and are used based on the complexity of the tasks you need to accomplish. Workflows are generally used for simpler tasks. They are a graphical tool that allows you to automate standard business processes and procedures to improve efficiency. Workflows can be used to automate processes without writing a single line of code. On the other hand, SuiteScripts is a JavaScript-based API that provides a powerful way of customizing, automating, and enhancing NetSuite. SuiteScripts allow for complex customizations and are generally used when the tasks are too complex for workflows. However, it's not an unwritten rule that you need to know SuiteScripts to run workflows. They are two separate tools and knowing one does not necessarily mean you need to know the other. But, if you want to do complex customizations or if you want to use workflow action scripts, then you would need to know SuiteScripts. In terms of execution order, SuiteScripts execute first before workflows. This is because the script needs to modify the record before NetSuite starts processing it. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
