If auto-numbering is turned on and the transaction is created without specifying the
tranid field, it's possible for duplicate transaction numbers to be generated, especially in cases where multiple transactions are created simultaneously. This is more likely to occur when scripts are used to generate transaction numbers.
However, there are ways to manage this. One method is to use the Generate Document Number on Save field, which generates the transaction number upon saving the record. This can help avoid duplicates as the number is generated at the final stage of the transaction creation.
Another method is to follow concurrency management techniques as outlined in the NetSuite SAFE guide. This can help manage situations where multiple transactions are being created at the same time.
Please note that if the Override option is enabled, it allows duplicates and generates the tranid during record initialization during beforeload versus during submit when it works normally.
