Creating Layout Sections
In the electronic data file structure, the layout section is the child record of the file layout. Layout sections include blocks of information from a specific source. To display different types of information in your electronic data files, you can add several layout sections to a layout file.
If you are generating a file, you can define the sequence in which NetSuite processes and adds each section to the file. For example, an electronic bank payment file can contain three sections: header, details, and trailer. You can create a record for each section and set the appropriate sequence number: 1 for header, 2 for details, and 3 for trailer.
After you save the layout section, you can create section sources to obtain the information you want to populate in the file.
To create a layout section:
-
Go to Setup > Latam File Builder > File Layout.
-
Click View next to the layout you want.
-
Click the Sections subtab.
-
Click New Layout Section.
-
In the Name field, enter a name for the section.
-
In the Sequence Number field, enter the number that represents where in the building sequence you want to place this section.
The sequence starts with the number 1.

Click Save.
