When creating a customer refund with SuiteScript should I use standard or dynamic mode?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

When creating a customer refund with SuiteScript, you can use either standard or dynamic mode. However, the choice between the two depends on your specific use case. Dynamic mode is designed to mimic the behavior of the NetSuite UI. This means that the order in which you set fields matters, as later fields can overwrite earlier ones. For example, if you set the 'account' field and then set the 'payment method' field, the 'payment method' field could overwrite the 'account' field because the 'account' field is sourced. This is why in dynamic mode, you should try to replicate the actions you would take in the UI. On the other hand, standard mode does not have this behavior. Fields can be set in any order without affecting each other. However, standard mode does not automatically source fields like dynamic mode does. In terms of performance, it's generally believed that standard mode is faster than dynamic mode. This is because dynamic mode does extra work to source values for all fields in synchronous mode. However, this has not been definitively proven and could depend on the specific circumstances. In conclusion, if you need to create a customer refund and the order of setting fields matters or you need to mimic the UI behavior, use dynamic mode. If the order of setting fields does not matter and performance is a concern, use standard mode. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
