How to automate the "Using the Period Close Checklist" by using script

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To automate the "Using the Period Close Checklist" process in NetSuite, you can create a scheduled SuiteScript. However, it's important to note that this process should be thoroughly tested in a sandbox environment before deploying it in a live environment. Here's a general approach to how you can automate this process: 1. Create a SuiteScript that loads the Accounting Period record. 2. Change the necessary field values on the record. For example, you might need to change the 'allLocked' field to true to lock all transactions for the period. 3. Save the record. Please note that the fields on the Accounting Period record appear to be scriptable, but 'submitField' is not an option. You can refer to the NetSuite Records Browser for more information on the fields that can be manipulated via SuiteScript. Also, it's important to consider the potential implications of auto-closing periods. If there are any transactions that require human interaction prior to closing, such as creating elimination entries, these would need to be handled before the script runs. Finally, remember that this process should be thoroughly tested in a sandbox environment before deploying it in a live environment. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
