Which action cannot be performed using Mass Update?

Mass Update functionality in NetSuite is designed to allow users to make bulk changes to records efficiently. It is essential to understand the capabilities and limitations of this feature.

When considering Affect Sublists specifically, one must recognize that while Mass Update can modify record fields and attributes on the primary records in bulk, it does not extend this capability to directly making changes to sublist items linked to those records. Sublists often consist of line items, transactions, or related records that require separate handling. Therefore, any adjustments to sublists typically need to be performed through different processes, such as custom scripts or workflows, rather than through Mass Update.

On the other hand, actions such as deleting records, adding records, and merging records are functionalities that can be handled within Mass Update. Deleting records allows users to remove multiple entries simultaneously, adding records can involve creating new entries under certain conditions, and merging records can help consolidate duplicates by combining their details appropriately.

Understanding these distinctions helps clarify the capabilities of the Mass Update feature, highlighting its limitations regarding direct manipulation of sublists.
