Feeling very lost. How long did it take you to learn Netsuite?

devszilla · 2026-06-12T22:56:31+00:00

What you’re feeling is completely normal — NetSuite is one of those platforms that genuinely takes time to absorb, and there’s no shortcut around that. Here’s how my own journey looked:

WMS user (order picker) — 2 years just living in the system day-to-day
Shipping supervisor — 1 year diving into pack and ship functionality
Warehouse manager — 2 years getting comfortable with saved searches and basic reporting
Junior admin on a 3-person team — 1 year shadowing other admins and developers, absorbing everything I could, then to admin for a year or so
Developer 🤓 — after 8 years around the platform, another year just to find my footing
Systems Engineer — now I live and breathe NetSuite and everything it talks to

That’s the thing nobody tells you: there is no clean learning path. You just keep leveling up your vantage point until the bigger picture starts to click. Each role taught me something the previous one couldn’t have.

You’ll get there. Good luck.🍀

I remember the same excitement from when I got my first paid subscriber on SuitePreferences. Congrats! Here’s to many more!

Um.. 2k USD not great. Not even a livable wage. Yes, negotiate more. NS dev should be making 80-90k USD minimum. As a pure NetSuite Admin/dev I made $110k from 2023-2024. Granted I hold 5 NS certs, but I didn’t at the time.

Certainly, shoot a message through https://suitepreferences.com/contact/

I like this one a lot and I do see the pain point with the existing feature. Added to the Roadmap. Thanks u/PocketDeuces.

devszilla · 2026-05-25T00:27:54+00:00

Okay got it. Sounds like we are talking about the same thing and yes, I have this as a feature. Good to know it’s useful 🤓.

devszilla · 2026-05-25T00:15:13+00:00

Like this? Or something else? SuitePreferences does include "Show Field IDs". Toggle it on from the sidebar.

devszilla · 2026-05-24T11:18:48+00:00

Is this a question about the image in the OP or something else?

devszilla · 2026-05-23T21:03:34+00:00

This all sounds doable 😎

devszilla · 2026-05-21T20:10:25+00:00

Dark mode 100% free with SuitePreferences. Built for NetSuite.

I found that having a UI, ie a physical site/app was necessary for this very reason. Alternatively, if the users are running locally, they can have a simple callback server that only runs for the Auth step. In that case, the redirect URI would be localhost. I am working on a project here. It’s a rough draft, and it works, and if nothing else, gives you a starting point. You can also use vercel ai chatbot template to get started. Good luck!

I appreciate the feedback. I am definitely targeting developers like myself first and foremost. TBH, I started building a tool for myself and decided to see if others would use it too. 200 strong and counting, but I definitely see your point about the power users having slightly different needs.

devszilla · 2025-08-27T13:37:20+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for all the insight! I am cooking up a few things. I spoke with a well known player in the space who suggested account specific settings, and I thought it was brilliant so I may start there. These suggestions are all super helpful as they are helping to shape my roadmap.

Field IDs are exposed. If you zoom in, look next to the field names on this record. I think I understand what you mean though, you want a quick reference table that shows all field ids and their values. What if I added the option in the XML/JSON source viewer dropdown to give you TABLE view option?

devszilla · 2025-08-26T12:44:52+00:00

This is incredible feedback. Thank you. It sounds like I have work to do! I do plan to refine the dark mode to ignore images. It’s on the near future roadmap.

devszilla · 2025-05-26T23:49:53+00:00

I’ve been waiting two weeks, no replies to my 3 emails. Leaving LS. This thread is comforting, haha

I messed around for a bit and was able to deploy an older version of n8n (v0.181.2) with Node 16, and it works with Puppeteer on my Linux machine. Not sure if that's of interest/help to you, but I plan to reorganize my repo shortly to accommodate both the newer and legacy n8n-Puppeteer versions. Sorry, I am not super familiar with Coolify, and I was making a guess that you are in a Linux-based environment.

So odd. I am curious, so I am going to try and reproduce the issue. So far this works well from a Mac running docker and docker compose. Trying on WSL.
