For Admins Who Refuse to Click Through 10,000 Records
Look — there are two kinds of NetSuite admins. The ones clicking delete, confirm, delete, confirm for three days straight. And the ones who run a job and move on to actual work.
This is how professional operations handle bulk cleanup. Dry-run first. See the dependencies. Execute with confidence. Full audit trail for compliance. Done.
Here's the deal
You're running a real operation. Test data from UAT. Duplicates from a bad import. Old transactions that need to go for compliance. This stuff happens.
What separates professionals from amateurs is how they handle it.
Amateurs spend three days clicking through records one by one, hoping they don't break something, praying they don't miss a dependency, crossing their fingers that nothing goes wrong.
Professionals test before they commit. They see the dependencies. They run the job with confidence. They have a complete audit trail. And they spend their time on work that actually moves the business forward.
Which one are you?
What you get
Enterprise-grade cleanup capability. The same approach Fortune 500 operations use.
Dry-Run Testing
Simulate deletions without removing data. See exactly what will be deleted before you commit.
Dependency Detection
Automatically finds child records up to 10 levels deep. No orphaned data. No broken relationships.
Complete Audit Trail
Full logging of who deleted what, when, and why. Email notifications. Compliance-ready.
Full Source Code
All SuiteScript files unencrypted and commented. Modify as needed. You own it.
How professionals do it
Define. Test. Review. Execute. Move on.
Create a Job
Use the custom record form. Select record type and criteria. No coding needed.
Dry-Run Test
Simulate the deletion. See exactly what will be removed before anything happens.
Review Dependencies
Check child records and relationships. Nothing gets orphaned.
Execute
Run the deletion. Watch real-time progress. Get email confirmation when done.
This isn't for everyone
Mass Delete is for NetSuite professionals who are serious about how they operate. If you're happy clicking through records manually, this isn't for you.
Admins who value their time
You know your time is worth more than clicking delete buttons. You'd rather solve real problems than do work a script should handle.
Teams that take compliance seriously
Auditors ask questions. You need answers. Complete audit trails, documented processes, defensible decisions. That's how you operate.
Operations ready to scale
You're building something that grows. Manual processes don't scale. You need tools that let you operate at the next level.
When you need this
Test Data Cleanup
UAT is done. Thousands of test records need to go. Run a job in minutes instead of clicking for days.
Bad Import Recovery
CSV import went sideways. 5,000 duplicates created. Clean slate in minutes. Re-import correctly. Problem solved.
Data Retention Compliance
Policy says delete transactions older than 7 years. Set criteria. Run job. Document for auditors. Done.
Duplicate Cleanup
Duplicate customers, contacts, items accumulated over years. Clean them up without breaking relationships. Dependency detection handles it.
