Which fields are mandatory in the contact record?

In a contact record within Netsuite, the mandatory fields are essential for the record to be complete and functional within the system. The name of the contact is foundational as it uniquely identifies the individual within the system. The subsidiary is also required because it connects the contact to a specific segment of the business, ensuring that all records are associated with the correct part of the organization.

While other fields such as phone number, email, and address may be valuable for communication and operational purposes, they are not classified as mandatory. This means that a contact can be created and saved even if these additional details are not provided, as long as the required fields—name and subsidiary—are filled in. Understanding this requirement helps users structure their data entry efficiently while adhering to the system's necessary standards.
