NEW: API Test Endpoint Validation

New validation has been added to prevent accidental updates to your production environment when testing endpoints. If an API request is sent to a testing endpoint (e.g., containing “-test” in the URL), the system will verify that the associated site name also includes “-test.” If there’s a mismatch, the request will be blocked, and an error will be returned. 

The inverse of this logic also applies. If an API request is sent to a production environment, the system will verify that the associated site name does not include "-test".

Enhancement: New NetSuite UDAs

We have added three new NetSuite User Defined Attributes (UDAs) to the Company User Defined Attributes screen in Enterprise Manager to further improve integration capabilities:

• NS_JOURNAL_ID_AUTO_GEN - This field allows you to exclude Transaction IDs, or any other field, from the NetSuite Sales Journal (SA) header file. The file will then use a NetSuite generated internal ID in it's place. This UDA can also be updated to exclude Transaction IDs for other transactions, such as Location Transfer (LT), Inventory Delta (ID), and Commissary (CO). Fields that need to be excluded can be specified here. This UDA supports multiple options separated by a #.
  Example: The value "SA|1234#LT|4567" would exclude Transaction ID 1234 from the Sales file and Transaction ID 4567 from the Transfer file. 
• NS_CLASS_ID - Set this value to the NetSuite Class that should be linked to all GL accounts in Crunchtime.
