Features Available for Testing in a Sandbox

A sandbox account is a copy of your production account, as of a specific date and time. As a sandbox is only a copy of the information from your production account, the actions you perform in the sandbox do not affect the information in your production account.

Many NetSuite features are available for testing in sandbox accounts. Some features have limited functionality in sandbox accounts, and a few background tasks don't run there. For example, billable components information is not calculated for the sandbox. To view your Total Storage Size (MB) information, go to Setup > Company > View Billing Information in your production account. The billing information page in a sandbox account displays the billing information copied from production. Therefore, the Total Storage Size (MB) information displayed in the sandbox is not changed by tasks completed in the sandbox account, such as deletion of custom records.

During sandbox refreshes, certain objects are not copied from your production account. For more information, see Data That is Not Copied from Production to Sandbox.
