why would a memorized transaction give an error that this record already exits>

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The error "This record already exists" when dealing with a memorized transaction in NetSuite usually occurs when there is a conflict with the unique identifiers of the records. This can happen if a memorized transaction is trying to create a new record that has the same unique identifier as an existing record in the system. For example, if you have a memorized Sales Order and it's set to auto-generate a new Sales Order on a specific schedule, it might be trying to create a new Sales Order with the same transaction number as an existing Sales Order. NetSuite requires unique transaction numbers, so this would cause an error. To resolve this issue, you can check the settings of your memorized transaction and ensure that it's set to auto-generate unique transaction numbers. If it's not, you can change the settings or manually adjust the transaction number each time the memorized transaction is used to create a new record. In addition, it's worth noting that memorized transactions in NetSuite are not designed to be used as templates for creating new records in bulk. They are intended for recurring transactions that occur on a regular schedule. If you're trying to use a memorized transaction to create a large number of new records at once, you might run into issues with duplicate records. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
