Learn how to centralize environment-related variables in NetSuite SuiteScript using a shared module, with examples, benefits, and implementation steps.

Introduction

Managing environment-specific variables (such as script IDs, deployment IDs, and folder IDs) is a common challenge in NetSuite SuiteScript development. Hardcoding these values in multiple scripts can lead to maintenance headaches and errors, especially when moving between sandbox, production, or other environments.

A best practice is to centralize these variables in a shared library module. This article explains the benefits, shows how to implement a shared environment variable library, and demonstrates how to use it in your SuiteScript projects.
