Why doesn't Copy To Account ever work for my roles between environments… #CTA #SDF #copytoaccount

It's a general Netsuite issue - everybody has it. Related to the dependencies that get calculated (and fail) Best to use it for very simple copies, or use SDF/Bundles for anything bigger

I have the same issue all the time, even simple searches, Roles throw an error. I've raised about 5 Cases with support who fix it, but it comes back a few days later.

FWIW after the new year I've been having a LOT more success with Copy to Account than previously. Not saying it's fixed, but it's been largely working for me - primarily I've been copying CSV Import Mapping objects from SB to Prod, but I've had success with PDF templates as well.

Roles tend to result in multiple layers of dependency. Same goes for workflows and saved searches and custom records. If you have for example: a custom record, that has a custom field that can be pointed at that same custom record, it will bomb out. These things can be bypassed when doing full SDF deployments - but it's painful.
