department

-- ============================================================
-- Table  : department — The department segment: one row per department, hierarchical through parent, used to stripe transaction lines for reporting.
-- Purpose: Column-selected read of department — auto-generated from field metadata
-- Grain  : One row per id
-- Caution: `subsidiary` on this record is a MULTISELECT (a department can serve several subsidiaries) — it is NOT an equality filter, so no subsidiary anchor is emitted here. The normalized link is a separate department-to-subsidiary map record, which this catalog does not carry.
-- Notes  : Auto-generated skeleton for NetSuite data landed in your lakehouse from a SuiteAnalytics Connect (or SuiteQL) extract — it never addresses live NetSuite. Identifiers are lowercase as NetSuite2.com renders them. Select-type columns hold numeric internal ids: BUILTIN.DF() display resolution exists only at extraction time, so decode ids by joining the landed list records; see quirks #display-values. Check-box columns arrive as 'T'/'F' strings; see quirks #tf-booleans.
