Is it possible to bypass mandatory fields in netsuite using boomi or any webservice integration to create a record and then have a user come back and add the missing mandatory fields at a later time?

@Jboogie yes. Depending on your integration, you can designate which "form" you want to use for your connection. Choosing the "Standard" version of your form (Standard Sales Order Form, Standard Invoice Form, etc) tends to have the fewest mandatory/required fields.

so have a specific form for webservice calls and default one for the users working in the netsuite UI to use?

Ok gotcha. I appreciate it. I’ll give it a try tomorrow morning
