Defining SCIS Transaction Notes
Administrators can use the SCIS Transaction Note Types custom record to define notes for different types of information needed on a transaction. This custom record is installed with SuiteCommerce InStore (SCIS).
After an administrator has defined transaction notes, sales associates can add them as they build orders. For example, a transaction note can be used to indicate that the customer was referred by a friend. The sales associate can add the note to a line item on an order or to the entire transaction in SCIS. After the order is submitted, the note displays on the transaction form in NetSuite.
The following screenshot, shows the user interface for adding a note. After the sales associate chooses a note type on the left, they can enter details on the right. The names of the SCIS Transaction Note Types displayed here are: Prefers Pickup, Custom Note, and Friend Referral.

-
Go to Commerce > InStore > Transaction Notes.
-
Click New SCIS Transaction Note Types.
