Here's a general outline of the process: 1. Create a new SuiteScript file: This file will contain the logic for your custom GL lines plugin. 2. Define your plugin function: This function will be called by NetSuite when it needs to generate the GL lines for a transaction. The function signature should look like this:

function customizeGlImpact(transactionRecord, standardLines, customLines, book) { }

. 3. Manipulate the GL lines: Inside your plugin function, you can manipulate the GL lines as needed. You can add new lines, modify existing lines, or even remove lines. Here's an example of how to add a new line:

javascript
var newLine = customLines.addNewLine();
newLine.setDebitAmount(45.21);
newLine.setAccountId(125);
newLine.setEntityId(entityId);
newLine.setMemo("Test Debit Amount");

4. Deploy your plugin: Once your SuiteScript file is ready, you need to deploy it in NetSuite. Go to Customization→ Plug-ins → Manage Plug-ins and follow the steps to deploy your plugin. 5. Test your plugin: After deploying your plugin, you should test it to make sure it's working correctly. You can do this by creating a transaction and checking the GL impact. Remember, the GL Plugin only works with certain transaction types. You can find a list of supported transaction types in the NetSuite Help Center. Please note that the above steps are a general guide and the actual process may vary depending on your specific requirements and the complexity of your plugin.
