What does “Treat Warnings as Errors” mean?
By default, when ExtendInsights for Data Management receives a warning from NetSuite (for example, Vendor Credit Limit Exceeded), it:
Completes the requested action
Displays the warning in yellow text in the reserved status column
This is expected behavior and allows processing to continue.
When Treat Warnings as Errors is enabled:
ExtendInsights stops the action
The row is marked as an error
The message is displayed in red text
The record is not created or updated in NetSuite
This setting is useful when warnings should block data changes and require review before proceeding.
When should I enable this setting?
Enable Treat Warnings as Errors if:
Warnings should prevent records from being created or updated
You want stricter data governance
Your process requires manual review of all warnings before submission
Leave it disabled if warnings are acceptable and should not block uploads.
Prerequisite
Before enabling this option, you must have a custom ExtendInsights settings record created in NetSuite.
