Points to be noted while testing date fields

1. A custom date field is created in the item record. This field fetched the date from the purchase order record when a scheduled script is executed. Keep in mind that the client might change the general date preference in Netsuite so there is a possible chance of getting an error.
2. To generate the Unix time stamp,
   1. A timestamp is a sequence of characters or encoded information identifying when a certain event occurred, usually giving a date and time of day, sometimes accurate to a small fraction of a second. Timestamps do not have to be based on some absolute notion of time
   2. There are different timestamp converters are available online. The encoded date and time vary depending on the type of converter.
   3. The most preferred time stamp converter available online is Epoch & Unix Timestamp Conversion

3. The client script most probably causes an error while changing the date format of the accounts. The script must handle dynamic date formats instead of keeping a single hard-coded date format.

4. Netsuite supports creating a new record from an existing record. Here the standard fields will clear the field value were the custom date fields sourced from other records will not clear the field value. The context in which the field clears the existing data needs to be verified while testing.

5. The default calendar followed by Netsuite is the “Gregorian Calendar”.
