for document number for transactions, does it check for non-duplicates?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
Based on the conversations, it appears that NetSuite does not inherently check for non-duplicates when generating document numbers for transactions. 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. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
