Whether you’re optimizing existing scripts or creating new integrations, these changes are designed to boost productivity and streamline development.
- Introduction of Asynchronous Module Loading
To enhance performance and user experience, SuiteScript now supports asynchronous module loading. This feature allows developers to load modules in the background, reducing initial load times and improving application responsiveness.
- Enhanced Governance Monitoring
The 2025.1 release brings enhanced governance monitoring tools, allowing developers to track script usage and resource consumption in real time. This improvement enables better optimization and ensures compliance with governance limits.
- Extended RESTlet Capabilities
RESTlets now work with more HTTP methods and have better error handling. These improvements make it easier for developers to create and manage integrations more effectively.
- Improved Debugging Tools
The SuiteScript debugger now includes advanced features like conditional breakpoints and a variable watchlist. These upgrades make debugging easier and help developers find and fix issues more quickly.
- Custom Record Enhancements
Developers can now create custom record types with more advanced data structures and relationships, offering greater flexibility in modeling business processes within NetSuite.
- Scheduled Script Enhancements
Scheduled scripts now come with more precise scheduling options, including support for complex recurrence patterns. This enhancement enables more customized automation of tasks and processes.
- SuiteScript API Additions
New APIs have been introduced to interact with NetSuite’s analytics and reporting features programmatically. These additions enable developers to create custom reports and dashboards, providing users with personalised insights.
- Security Improvements
The 2025.1 release makes scripts more secure by adding stricter checks and cleaning up inputs. These updates help protect against common security risks.
- SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF) Integration
SuiteScript now offers deeper integration with the SuiteCloud Development Framework, facilitating better version control and collaborative development. This integration streamlines the deployment process and enhances team collaboration.
These updates in NetSuite’s 2025.1 release empower developers to build more efficient, secure, and feature-rich applications, further extending the platform’s capabilities to meet diverse business needs.
- Discontinuation of SuiteSignOn
The Outbound Single Sign-On (SuiteSignOn) feature is no longer supported. Organizations using it must switch to the “NetSuite as OIDC Provider” feature for outbound single sign-on integrations.
Overall, the SuiteScript updates in NetSuite’s 2025.1 release provide developers with a more versatile and secure toolkit to meet the evolving needs of modern businesses. From improved debugging and automation to enhanced RESTlet capabilities and deeper SDF integration, these changes lay a strong foundation for more agile and collaborative development.
