Sending Documents for Signature Directly from NetSuite Records

Sending documents for signature is a critical step in many business processes, especially when dealing with estimates, contracts, and approvals. At SuiteWorks Tech, we designed our NetSuite document signing solution to eliminate manual steps and enable teams to send documents for signature directly from NetSuite records.

With this native SuiteApp, businesses no longer need to download PDFs, use external tools, or track signed documents manually. Everything happens inside NetSuite, making the signing process faster, simpler, and more controlled.


Why Sending Documents from NetSuite Matters

Traditional document signing workflows often involve switching between systems. Users generate documents in NetSuite, email them externally, wait for signatures, and then upload the signed files back into records. This approach slows down operations and increases the risk of errors.

NetSuite document signing removes these inefficiencies by allowing users to initiate signing directly from NetSuite records, keeping the entire process centralized.


Triggering Document Signing from NetSuite Records

NetSuite document signing allows users to trigger the signing process at the right moment—directly from NetSuite.

Sending Documents from Estimates

🔹 Trigger document signing during Estimate creation
🔹 Send documents with a single click
🔹 Avoid exporting or emailing PDFs manually

This approach ensures documents reach customers instantly, improving turnaround time and reducing follow-ups.


Secure Email-Based Signing Process

Once a document is sent, the recipient receives an email with a secure signing link.

🔹 No NetSuite login required for recipients
🔹 No additional software installation
🔹 Simple and secure access to the document

This streamlined experience encourages faster responses and reduces friction for customers and partners.


Flexible Signing Experience for Recipients

NetSuite document signing supports flexible signature options to accommodate different user preferences.

🔹 Sign directly on the document using an on-screen sign pad
🔹 Upload a signature image and place it at the designated location
🔹 Ensure a smooth and consistent signing experience

These options help prevent delays caused by usability challenges.


Automatic Storage of Signed Documents

One of the biggest advantages of sending documents for signature directly from NetSuite records is automatic document attachment.

🔹 Signed documents are automatically attached to the original NetSuite record
🔹 No manual uploads or tracking required
🔹 Full auditability and visibility

This automation ensures teams can move forward immediately after signatures are completed.


Supporting Multiple NetSuite Record Types

Although commonly used for Estimates, NetSuite document signing is not limited to a single record type.

🔹 Sales Orders
🔹 Invoices
🔹 Contracts
🔹 Custom Records
🔹 Other NetSuite transaction records

This flexibility allows businesses to standardize document signing across multiple workflows.


100% Native NetSuite SuiteApp Advantage

NetSuite document signing is built entirely on the NetSuite platform.

🔹 No third-party tools or integrations
🔹 Seamless compatibility with NetSuite ERP and CRM
🔹 Real-time visibility across departments

Because it is native, the solution aligns with NetSuite’s architecture and security standards. You can learn more about the NetSuite platform here:
