What does the SuiteFlow 'after submit' trigger specifically do?

The 'after submit' trigger in SuiteFlow is designed to execute scripts based on finalized data in a record. When a record is created, updated, or deleted, the 'after submit' trigger activates after these actions are completed. This allows developers to work with the data as it has now been committed to the database, ensuring that any automated processes can utilize the latest state of the record.

This capability is particularly beneficial for tasks that require confirmed data, such as sending notifications, updating related records, or performing additional calculations that depend on the completeness of the submitted data. The focus is on responding to changes that have already been processed by NetSuite, making it a crucial aspect of the workflow to help maintain the integrity and accuracy of business processes.

Other choices, while relevant to various functionalities in SuiteFlow, do not align directly with the purpose of the 'after submit' trigger. For instance, running unit tests pertains to validating scripts independently, starting a new workflow is an action that can be triggered under different conditions, and generating reports typically involves data compilation rather than the immediate execution of actions based on finalized record data.
