Can date criteria be included in the criteria tab of a Custom KPI?

In NetSuite, when creating a Custom KPI, the criteria tab is designed to allow the use of various filters to customize the data being displayed. However, date criteria are not permitted in this tab. KPIs predominantly rely on aggregated data, and introducing date filters would complicate the performance and clarity of the results being reported.

By not allowing date filters in the criteria tab, NetSuite ensures that the Custom KPIs provide consistent and reliable data across different timeframes without user confusion regarding variable time-based filtering. This design choice supports the objective of KPIs, which is typically to assess performance or metrics over set periods without the additional complexity of filtering by specific dates within the KPI itself. This restriction helps maintain the integrity of the data being displayed and simplifies the creation and usage of Custom KPIs in reporting.
