NetSuite Professionals

So just to clarify there is no way to set a standard netsuite field from an input of SCA checkout? You'd need the scriptable cart?

Only specific fields are exposed to the application via the commerce API. After chatting with a colleague about this, `shipdate` is not one that is available. Typically the way to do this customisation is to add a custom field as you have done and then use a workflow or an afterSubmit script to copy the custom field value to the standard field

Some potential gotchas: if this field would change things like shipping cost then this won't be accounted for as you're changing the record after it's been submitted and calculated
