5min
manually creating netsuite custom fields in salesforce you can always use the breadwinner provided custom fields creation wizard, but if the fields are unavailable for some reason, you can manually create them using the following process for this example, we will add the revenue field to the netsuite sales order (in salesforce) to start, go to salesforce setup > object manager and then go to the object in question netsuite sales order (in our use case) on the netsuite side, the api name of the revenue field (string/text data type) will be called custbody revenue all netsuite custom fields will start with custxxxx where xxxx refers to "entity", column", or "body", depending on the type of object you would create a text field in salesforce on the netsuite sales order with a field name of ncf body revenue c the field label can be whatever you want, though we recommend you call it the same as what is in netsuite for consistency this custom field will automatically be added to your page layouts the field value will populate upon clicking "restart sales order sync" (or respective netsuite object sync) in the troubleshooting area of the breadwinner tab the above example may help, but here are the formal rules the field label can be anything, though we recommend the same field label as in netsuite field name must start with ncf the prefix ncf will replace cust in the netsuite api name the rest of the field name is the netsuite api name minus cust data types we only support the following netsuite data types take a look at what should be the data type of the respective salesforce field netsuite data types salesforce data type free form text text long text, text area text hyperlink url list record text check box checkbox date date date time datetime currency, percent number integer number, decimal number number email address email please try to avoid creating custom formula fields docid\ wuvnlzb4k4kgf8vg6sfuo example screenshots when creating the field in salesforce, your field label and field name will look similar to this when that field has been created, you will be able to see it similar to this
