What does the "After field sourcing" trigger wait for before executing?

The "After field sourcing" trigger executes after the system has processed field sourcing on a record. Field sourcing refers to the automatic population of fields based on the value of other fields in the record. This means that when the trigger is activated, the necessary field sourcing has been completed, making relevant data available for any follow-up actions or logic that needs to occur.

This is particularly important because it ensures that any dependent fields are updated before any scripts or processes relying on that data are executed. For instance, if one field’s value affects another field’s value, the "After field sourcing" trigger guarantees that the dependent field reflects the correct, up-to-date information.

Choosing this option reflects an understanding that the trigger is concerned primarily with the completion of data sourcing rather than the overall saving of the record, user confirmations, or field validation processes, which are handled by different triggers or events within the NetSuite workflow structure.
