How does the projectedtotal field work, on Opportunity records? Does anything cause it to automatically update?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The

projectedtotal

field on Opportunity records in NetSuite is a calculated field that is typically used to estimate the potential revenue from an opportunity. It is usually calculated based on the values of other fields in the record, such as quantity and price of items. From the conversations, it appears that the

projectedtotal

field does not automatically update when the values of the fields it depends on are edited inline (direct list edit). It only updates when the record is opened and saved again. This behavior might be due to the way NetSuite handles inline edits, which might not trigger the same events as a full record edit. However, it's also mentioned that a user can override the calculation and manually set a projected total. This suggests that the

projectedtotal

field's value can be changed manually, which would cause it to update. In terms of automation, it seems that the

projectedtotal

field's value can be automatically calculated and updated using a script or a workflow. This would likely involve writing a script or setting up a workflow that listens for changes to the relevant fields and recalculates the

projectedtotal

field's value when those fields are edited. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
