I have an issue where some of our orders are being imported directly into Netsuite, and there is information from the first line item, that I need to copy into the transaction record (i.e. custom field on sales order)
I want to set this up so that it is automatic, I don't have access to the system that is used to bring the orders into Netsuite, and I only JUST got suitescript access and everything I read about that is way above my head..
I know basic HTML and some of the scripting formulas from Netsuite and that's all.
I was hoping there would be a CUSTOM FIELD FORMULA or some other similar way that I can just easily source the information directly from the first item in the item sublist?
This would be quite trivial to implement using SuiteScript. The example below assumes you want to copy the Memo field (description) from the first line item to the body Memo field. The basic idea would be something like the below (untested code):
function userEventBeforeSubmit(type){
if (type === 'create') {
var record = nlapiGetNewRecord();
var memo = record.getLineItemValue('item', 'memo', 1);
record.setFieldValue('memo', memo);
}
}
If want to accomplish this via custom fields etc. it is possible using "Custom Fields with Values Derived from Summary Search Results".
To do this create a Saved Search as follows:
Type: Transaction
Criteria: [none]
Results: Formula (Text), Summary
Type = Maximum, Formula: DECODE({line}, 1, {memo}, NULL)
Available Filters: Internal ID
Then create a Custom Transaction Body Field as follows:
Type: Free Form Text
Store Value: F
Validation & Filtering > Search: [Saved Search from previous step]
As this is a dynamically calculated field (Store Value = F), it would be available when viewing the record, but not in Saved Searches and lists. To remove this limitation, you can create a Workflow that would copy this field to another one that is stored.

I'm a newbie in NetSuite Scripting and was recently asked to apply the value from a date field (custbody_expiration_date) on item receipt transaction body to the expiration date field in the inventory details of all items when the item receipt is created.
Since there is no way to create a workflow on inventory details, I've managed to work out below codes however I'm keeping getting all sorts of different error message. Below is one of them after I click on save on item receipt.
Notice (SuiteScript)
org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: TypeError: Cannot find function getCurrentLineItemValue in object standard record. (/SuiteScripts/ARROW/Expiration_date_apply_to_all (1).js#27)
I am very confused on the difference between dynamic and standard mode, which functions should be used in which mode? Also, I am a bit hesitated on whether user event script is the correct way to go?
/**
*#NApiVersion 2.0
*#NScriptType UserEventScript
*#NModuleScope Public
*/
define(['N/record','N/search'], function (record, search) {
function beforeSubmit(context) {
var IRrecord = context.newRecord;
var numberOfLineItems = IRrecord.getLineCount({
sublistId: 'item'
});
var expirationdate = IRrecord.getValue({
fieldId: 'custbody_expiration_date'
});
for (var i=1; i<=numberOfLineItems; i++){
IRrecord.setSublistValue({
sublistId: 'item',
fieldId: 'item',
line: i,
value: true
});
//First get Lot Number and Quantity
var lotNumber = IRrecord.getCurrentLineItemValue('item', 'receiptinventorynumber');
var quantity = IRrecord.getCurrentLineItemValue('item', 'quantity');
var inventoryDetail = IRrecord.createCurrentLineItemSubrecord('item','inventorydetail');
inventoryDetail.selectNewLineItem('inventoryassignment');
inventoryDetail.setCurrentLineItemValue('inventoryassignment', 'issueinventorynumber', lotNumber);
inventoryDetail.setCurrentLineItemValue('inventoryassignment', 'quantity', quantity);
inventoryDetail.setCurrentLineItemValue('inventoryassignment', 'expirationdate', expirationdate);
inventoryDetail.commitLineItem('inventoryassignment');
inventoryDetail.commit();
IRrecord.commitLineItem('item');
}
nlapiSubmitRecord(IRrecord);
}
return {
beforeSubmit: beforeSubmit
}
});
Dynamic records are the kind you see client-side (as a rule) - modify a field value and some other field becomes refreshed and updated in real time. Forms sometimes need to have their fields filled in a particular order to prevent form completion errors triggering or field sourcing to work. For example, when entering a sales order, selecting the customer then defaults the sales tax when items are added to the order. Errors may be thrown at any point before the record save because a field is triggering dynamic sourcing (updating other fields), based on what has been entered.
Standard mode is - less dynamic. You populate the fields of the record in any order you choose, and when the save is performed, you choose whether sourcing (updating other fields from the data available) is triggered. Any errors in data entry are reported when the save is performed. I think it also has a lower client-side load as there are fewer AJAX queries being triggered.
Both are available in client-side and server-side javascript, but some record types cannot be updated client-side and must be done server-side using workflow actions, User Event, Restlet, Suitelets, or scheduled scripts. To the best of my knowledge, inventory subrecords on fulfillments, receipts and the like are one such type.
The way lines are updated changes between dynamic and standard mode. In dynamic mode, lines are selected, updated then committed and the methods used would be :
selectLine
setCurrentLineItemValue
commitLine (only do this if actually changing the line)
For standard mode, the way of changing lines is only to use setSublistValue and include the line number in the parameters.
Workflow action scripts will load the record in dynamic mode, but the load method can be investigated using the isDynamic() method on the record.
The other thing is, in SuiteScript 2, sublist lines are indexed from 0, not from 1 as your script is using. What's confusing is, in Suitescript 1, indexing was from 1. The code is using a mix of v1 & v2. nlapiSubmitRecord is v1, IRrecord.save is v2.
And for more information, see SuiteAnswer 79715 which explains how to set a value on the inventory detail on an item receipt. The example reloads the record in standard mode and updates the inventoryStatus field. SuiteAnswer 45372 explains the Record object and the difference between standard and dynamic modes. Take a look at SuiteAnswer 67605 which explains the basics of SuiteScript v2. SuiteAnswers is an amazing resource and the search is surprisingly good. I can also recommend Eric T Grubaugh's site (#erictgrubaugh) which has some great videos including comparisons between v1 & v2.
I am attempting to set a field in one data model to equal to a field in a related data model. I've considered setting up an event to set the field equal to the other but do not know what the best trigger for this event would be and do not know the code that would be required.
Additionally, perhaps an event is not needed and there is some more fundamental/basic way to establish this field connection between related models.
Example: People Model has Companies Model as a related model. When adding a new People record, selecting the related Companies record would mean that the "Industry" field in the People record would be equal to the "Industry" field in the related Companies record.
Thank you!
You can execute a callback function after the People record is created. The callback function would change the Industry field value of the related Companies record to match the same value of the People record. Something like this (GIF). Notice that I am updating the Companies Industry value while creating a People record.
Here's the code on a Client Script:
var pgPeople = app.pages.PeopleCompanies;
var pgPeopleDesc = pgPeople.descendants;
function updateRelatedRecordField(){
var peopleDatasource = app.datasources.People;
peopleDatasource.createItem(function(record){
var industry = record.Industry;
record.Companies.Industry = industry;
});
}
You need to replace the default onClick function on the Form widget button with your function updateRelatedRecordField();

I recently started experimenting with the REST API for SharePoint 2013 Foundation and I am trying to return all entries in a list. My GET request returns the data I am looking for, but the IDs used to identify the columns in the list are not helpful for identifying what the information is (see images below). The column IDs between 'Title' and 'ID', in the second image, are a jumble of characters.
SharePoint List View
Response Data
Is there any way to configure the list to use the column names as IDs? Also, is there some significance to the characters currently used as IDs?
You will need to make a second request to get a listing of columns that includes the InternalName and the Title which is what you are trying to reference:
You can use this REST call:
_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('Project Details')/fields
or you can use CSOM:
using (ClientContext context = new ClientContext(url))
{
List list = context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("Project Details");
context.Load(list, l => l.Fields);
context.ExecuteQuery();
foreach(Field field in list.Fields)
{
Console.WriteLine(field.Title);
Console.WriteLine(field.InternalName);
}
}
SharePoint automatically generates the InternalName and it is a read-only field, at least using REST. It'll be easier to get the Field Data to correlate the InternalName to the Title than changing the values.
The column you are referring to, between Title and Id, is the ID of the content type associated to the item. It is not a column ID.
The SharePoint REST API is OData compliant, so you can use the $select parameter to query for the neccesary fields.
http://server/site/_api/web/lists('guid')/items?$select=Column1,Column2
Please be aware though, lookup fields need to be expanded as well, otherwise you get only the Id of the lookup item.
http://server/site/_api/web/lists('guid')/items?$select=LookupColumn&$expand=LookupColumn/Title
I am currently working on a page for a web app that displays member data in a jQuery DataTable. I am building a custom plugin for the DataTable that allows for a wide range of filtering per table column.
My current task is to be able to retrieve filtered data from the DataTable, although not updating that data on the table. I know already it is possible to retrieve all filtered data by doing:
var data = $table.dataTable().$('tr', { filter: 'applied' });
This gets data for any text in the search box and any filters applied to columns. I am also aware this call gets the jQuery selectors of cells. That's what I need. But I need more...
My questions are:
Can I get data by only applying what's in the search box, without any other current filters applied to columns? I tried:
var data = $table.dataTable().$('tr', { search: 'applied' });
But that returns the same as { filter : 'applied' }.
Can I target specific columns for getting data, such as:
var data = $table.dataTable().$('tr', { filter: 'applied', columns: [1, 2, 5] });
Can I target specific columns AND what's in the search box?
My plugin needs to able to keep track of data with various combinations of column/search filters applied.
For DataTables 1.9
There is a fnFilter() API method but it applies filtering to the table which is not what you want.
Alternatively you may want to use fnGetData() to get the data for the whole table and filter it yourself.
For DataTables 1.10
There is a search() API method but it applies filtering to the table when used with draw() which is not what you want.
Also there is filter() API method. It is not exactly what you're looking for but very close, however you would need to perform the searching yourself.
You can retrieve the content of the search box as follows:
var searchVal = $('.dataTables_filter input', $table).val();
Then you would need to do the searching yourself, shown below is a simplistic approach which may not match how DataTables perform the search internally.
To search first and second column only, specify [0,1] to columns() method. If no parameters are specified, all columns will be searched instead.
var filteredData = $table.DataTable()
.columns([0, 1])
.data()
.eq( 0 )
.filter( function ( value, index ) {
returrn (value.search(new RegExp(searchVal, "i")) !== -1)
? true : false;
} );
According to the manual, variable filteredData would contain a new API instance with the values from the result set which passed the test in the callback.
To retrieve data for all or selected columns, use columns().data().
I am writing an integration piece between Drupal/Ubercart and a in-house admin system.
The customer uses Ubercart products with attributes (e.g. a Plaque, which can contain a name, a company, a registration date and month). When an order is placed, the values entered for the attributes are written to uc_order_products, where the data field contains the actual values entered by the user. As far as I can tell, this is the only place where product attributes values, as entered by an end user to place an order, is stored.
The encoded attribute values uses a format seen all over Drupal tables to encode objects:
a:3:{s:10:"attributes";a:4:{s:26:"Name (to appear on plaque)";a:1:{i:0;s:10:"Some
Namee";}s:7:"Company";a:1:{i:0;s:28:"Some Company Name Goes here_";}s:19:"Certification
Month";a:1:{i:0;s:0:"";}s:18:"Certification Year";a:1:
{i:0;s:4:"2011";}}s:9:"shippable";s:1:"1";s:6:"module";s:10:"uc_product";}
And expanded, it looks like this:
a:3:
{
s:10:"attributes";
a:4:
{
s:26:"Name (to appear on plaque)";
a:1:
{
i:0;
s:10:"Some Namee";
}
s:7:"Company";
a:1:
{
i:0;
s:28:"Some Company Name Goes Herep";
}
s:19:"Certification Month";
a:1:
{
i:0;
s:0:"";
}
s:18:"Certification Year";
a:1:
{
i:0;
s:4:"2011";
}
}
s:9:"shippable";
s:1:"1";
s:6:"module";
s:10:"uc_product";
}
I there a simple way to get to the individual field values within this text using SQL? I can write a SQL function to go look for specifics, but I'd like to know if someone knows of an existing MySQL approach (perhaps within Drupal) which would do this.
Thanks!
That's a serialized array, meaning data that was processed by PHP's serialize() function before Drupal inserted it into the database. Use the opposite function unserialize() to turn that string back into an array.
Don't know if any built-in solution exists, but I ended up writing a SQL Function which takes as parameter text such as Name (to appear on plaque). The function then locates the text and extracts the succeeding { ... } block and from it retrieves the corresponding string value. Rough, but works in this case.
If someone has a better solution, I'd like to hear about it!
