NetSuite Sandboxes: The Ultimate Guide for Your Business

Sanbox

Users can easily create adjustments and add new functionalities on NetSuite’s adaptable and dynamic platform to match their unique company needs. Users can test adjustments and try out new features in the NetSuite sandbox without having their production account affected by doing so. The sandbox is a different environment within NetSuite.

Your business management software is absolutely essential because it holds information about your finances, clients, activities, and more. In light of this, you should be cautious when implementing modifications that could impede the operation of your business processes. What better option is there than to test your changes in a secure online workshop? A NetSuite Sandbox environment offers a safe, private platform for testing new features without running the risk of publishing flawed updates that can affect your live system.

 

What is possible with a Sandbox account?

In the Sandbox environment, developers and administrators can take advantage of the following features:

  • Try out new customizations before implementing them.
  • Update or repair current features
  • Try integrating some independent software
  • Change forms, scripts, and searches
  • Educate brand-new NetSuite users

 

How to Log Into a Sandbox Account in NetSuite

Users of NetSuite can sign in and use their production account to visit a Sandbox account. Get in touch with a NetSuite administrator who can configure your access through Setup > Company > Sandbox Accounts. An Administrator can also control who has access to the sandbox account. Go to your menu lists > Employees > Employees and click on the Employee entry to provide access to a specific user. Click Save.

 

How much is a NetSuite Sandbox?

NetSuite pricing for Sandbox is based on the number of users and modules included in your annual NetSuite license, with a premium sandbox costing 20% more (prices will vary and can be negotiated). Get a customized Sandbox price from SCG Team to determine the NetSuite Sandbox cost for your company.

 

There are three different account types:

  1. Beachhead Account: The Sandbox account replicates your production account with the same information, settings, and customizations. You can experiment with features and customizations, refresh data from your live performance, and enter a date you want to work with. However, you cannot do external transactions like email marketing campaigns or payments
  2. Construction Account: The SuiteApps and features from your production account are available in the development account, but your data and customizations are not included. Doing this lets third parties create and work on projects inside the reserve without giving them access to your company’s data. You can import data of your choice your team requires for testing even though it isn’t automatically within this environment.
  3. Superior Sandbox: The Premium Sandbox account provides a secure testing environment by mirroring your system’s data, customizations, and configurations like the normal sandbox. But this account functions more like your live production account because it is made primarily for more significant projects. High-performance operations and vast amounts of data can be handled successfully by the Premium Sandbox.

Each platform offers a secure testing environment for working on changes or new projects. The Development account keeps your company’s data hidden while concentrating only on fundamental SuiteScript & SuiteFlow customization creation. The single Sandbox account gives you a place to make customizations while also containing all of your fundamental account’s business data. Additionally, you can buy numerous Sandboxes, perfect for more complicated projects as they enable engineers to work with various datasets and test alternative adaptations.
