You can differentiate between custom fields and standard fields on NetSuite pages. To do so, enable the Show Internal IDs preference at Home > Set Preferences under the Defaults section of the General subtab. With the preference enabled, when you click on field, the field-level help popup shows a field ID in the bottom right corner. If the field you clicked on is a custom field, the ID from the custom field record is shown.
