When does version locking typically occur in SuiteCloud?

Version locking in SuiteCloud typically occurs when trying to customize software. This is an important aspect of the development process within the NetSuite environment, as it helps ensure that any customizations made to the system are consistent with the version of the software being used at that time. When a developer or administrator makes changes to custom scripts or other configurations, version locking prevents these changes from being affected by subsequent software updates that may introduce new features or alter existing functionalities.

This ensures that the customizations are stable and minimizes the risk of conflicts between the original software version and the customized scripts or objects. Developers need to be cautious when updating the system if they have existing customizations because those could become incompatible without careful management of versioning. Thus, it is critical for NetSuite professionals to understand when version locking takes place to maintain the integrity of their custom solutions.
