In NetSuite, loading and saving records can be a costly operation in terms of both time and governance units. Each time you load a record, it consumes 10 governance units, and saving a record consumes an additional 20 units. This can quickly add up, especially in scripts that process a large number of records. Instead of loading and saving records, you can use the
record.submitFields
method or perform a search/SuiteQL to retrieve or update the necessary fields. The record.submitFields
method only consumes 10 governance units and allows you to update specific fields on a record without loading the entire record. This can be a more efficient approach if you only need to update a few fields and don't need to perform any complex logic that requires the full record context.
Similarly, using a search/SuiteQL can be more efficient than loading records, especially when you need to process a large number of records. A search/SuiteQL allows you to retrieve specific fields from multiple records at once, without the need to load each record individually. This can significantly reduce the time and governance units consumed by your script.
However, there are cases where you might still need to load a record. For example, if you need to update line items on a record, you will need to load the record. Also, if you need to perform complex logic that requires the full record context, loading the record might be necessary.
In conclusion, while loading and saving records can be necessary in some cases, it's generally more efficient to use record.submitFields
or perform a search/SuiteQL whenever possible to reduce the time and governance units consumed by your script.
