Comparing Applied To Transaction and Applying Transaction In Netsuite Saved Search

Applied to Transaction and Applying Transaction are the two fields that often confuses Netsuite users while creating Transaction saved searches, yet very handy when we need to find related Transactions. Applied to Transaction fields are used to find the originated records of the current transaction whereas Applying Transactions are derived transactions from the current transaction.

For example, If you take Sales Order as the current transaction,Opportunity can be an Applied Transaction and Item Fulfillment can be an Applying Transaction. If the phrase still puzzles you assume that, Applied Transaction comes ahead in the Saved Search criteria/column options, so it’s used to find the related Transactions which are created ahead and Applying Transactions are to find the records which are created later.

The following table displays Netsuite Transactions and their Applied To and Applying Transactions.
