Verified steps

  1. Upload the CSV file to the NetSuite File Cabinet programmatically or manually; note the file internal ID
  2. Define a CSV import map in NetSuite (Setup > Import/Export > Saved CSV Imports) that maps CSV columns to record fields; save the import map and note its script ID
  3. In SuiteScript 2.x, require the N/task module; create a task using task.create({ taskType: task.TaskType.CSV_IMPORT }) and set the importType, mappingId, linkedFiles, and queueId properties
  4. Submit the task with task.submit() which returns a task ID; use task.checkStatus({ taskId: <id> }) in a follow-up script execution to poll for COMPLETE or FAILED status
  5. Retrieve import result details from the task status response; on failure, access the error log file linked in the status to identify row-level errors
