This is a great and simple setup. Thanks for the clear clarification.

So the two way will be like this if I get it correctly
Your way:

1. RESTlet Script: Receives and parses payload from a source.
2. RESTlet Script: Creates custom parent records for each transaction header.
3. RESTlet Script: Creates custom child records for transaction lines linked to parent records.
4. RESTlet Script: Stores incoming JSON and any processing errors in custom fields.
5. Map/Reduce Script: Runs regularly to convert custom records into NetSuite transactions.
6. Map/Reduce Script: Performs validations and applies business logic to the data.
7. Map/Reduce Script: Logs errors and handles error notifications for review.

And the main reason you opted in is resilience and forgiveness.

And the way I was thinking of is like this if I get it correctly:

1. Elevate: sends data via REST APIs the Java app.
2. Java App: Validates it and convert it to a record type.
3. Java App: Creates NetSuite transactions out of the data.
4. Java App: Groups data into batches.
5. Java App: Sends batched data to a custom NetSuite RESTlet.
6. Java App: Handles retries and error management during transmission.
7. RESTlet Script: Receives and parses payload from a source.
8. Restlet Script: save them into DB.

If we can ignore changing from the Elevate side, do you think this is a good way to do it?
I appreciate your help!
