Is the saving time of record proportional to the number of item lines in NetSuite?

Question

I have a SO with 500 item lines.

Once I click the "Save" button, the following code will execute and it may spend about 90 to 120 seconds to finish saving:

var so_submit_id = so_record.save({
                    // enableSourcing: true,
                    // ignoreMandatoryFields: false
});

I found the more item lines, the longer time the record is saved. Is the saving time is proportional to the number of item lines? Is there a linear relationship which the time complexity is O(n) between them?

How can we reduce the record saving time? Can we divide the record to update the values and finally merge the child records?

Answer 1

Under Customisation>Scripting>Scripted Records, how many scripts are running for your record type?

Based on that, you can get results for your "Performance Details" by double clicking on the Oracle | NetSuite logo on the top left of the UI. This will prompt a dialogue box depicting what, and how long things took. A few tests on the number of lines and you can plot a curve for your system.

Hope this added value for the testing!
