HOW TO: Control the rate of records imported into NetSuite

In August 2020, integrator.io started offering a Batch size limit setting on NetSuite imports:

This new setting determines the maximum number of records that can be sent with each API call to NetSuite when importing data. 

The Batch size limit gives you control over the rate of transactions with NetSuite, more finely tuned than the page size that you set for the exported records. It is useful for situations where too much data is sent at once within a single page. (NetSuite APIs allow only a certain number of requests at a time. Each call costs “points,” depending on the number of records or lookups configured per record.) If NetSuite returns errors that you’ve run out of points, your flow will fail.

For example, if your import includes one-to-many lookup configurations, a page may send exponentially larger input volumes to NetSuite. The Batch size limit setting should help you adequately limit the number of records per transaction. 

NOTE: This setting is unrelated to the NetSuite export Batch size limit setting, which determines how many records can be retrieved at a time, before they are organized into pages within your flow.
