SuiteScript getting value from a saved search - netsuite

I'm having an issue pulling the value of a column in SuiteScript v1.0. The search is looking at Cash Sales and is producing the results I want in the UI, but I am unable to get the value of one column in SuiteScript. I suspect it is because either the value comes from the 'Created From' doc, or because it is a drop down list. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The search looks at Cash Sales where the Dept/Sales Channel (NS id department) doesn't match the Dept/Sales Channel of the Sales Order. The results are:
Type
Document Number
Created From : Dept/Sales Channel
In the UI, it is doing exactly what I hoped. However, when I loop thru the results in my v1.0 SuiteScript, I'm getting a null value for Dept/Sales Channel:
results.forEachResult(function(res){
var id = res.getId();
var docid = res.getValue('tranid');
var dept = res.getValue('channel');
nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG', 'Found result - '+docid+' ('+id+') - '+dept+'.');
docid and id are correct, but dept ends up being null. I've tried 'channel', 'deptartment' and column[3].value with no luck. What am I doing wrong?

Based on how you formatted this: "Created From : Dept/Sales Channel", I assume it is a joined column.
If it is, you need to do it this way:
var dept = res.getValue('department', "createdfrom");

NetSuite Search formula for items that have no open transactions

I am trying to create a formula to obtain a list of items that have no open transactions.
I cant just filter out by status as this filters out transactions that are open, as opposed to showing me only items with nothing open.
So basically if an item has anything open then i dont want it on the search. I do need it on the search if it has all closed or it has no transactions at all.
Hoping someone can help put me in the right direction.
I am a little bit stuck at where to start with the formulas and tried a case formula.
You can use item saved search adding under criteria as "Transaction Fields-status-anyOf-select all closed/rejected/declined statuses" not in filter reason of saved search.
Thanks.
To get the value of non transaction items as well, You need to check the check box use expression under criteria in standard subtab use parens() with OR expression.
And add one more condition as "Transaction Fields-Internal Id-anyOf-none with
"Transaction Fields-status-anyOf-select all closed/rejected/declined statuses".
Add both condition with OR logic.
It will work for both items condition if it has transaction status with closed or with none of transaction internal ids.
Thanks.
I think this is possible in a saved search, and requires a change in the way the filtering is done. Rather than filtering on the "Filters", using grouping and summary calculations to determine if an item qualifies, basically :
Create the item saved search as you would normally, but don't include a "Standard" filter for the openness of the transaction.
In the results, group by item name (or internalid), and another fields you want to include in the top-level results.
In the Criteria - Summary list, add a Formula (Number) condition :
Summary Type= Sum (Count won't work here)
Formula = case when {transaction.status} = 'Open' then 1 else 0 end
Equal to 0
Whether this is more or less elegant than bknight's answer is debatable.
I don't think this is the sort of thing you can do with a single saved search.
It would be fairly easy to do with SuiteQL though.
The script below runs in the console and finds items that are not on any Pending Billing Sales Orders. It's adapted from a script with a different purpose but illustrates the concept.
You can get a list of the status values to use by creating a saved search that finds all the transactions with open statuses you want to exclude , take note of that saved search's id and running the second script in the console
require(['N/query'], query => {
const sqlStr = `
select item.id, itemid, count(po.tranid) as po, count(bill.tranId) as bill, max(bill.tranDate) as lastBilled, count(sale.tranId) as sales, count(tran.tranId) as trans
from item
left outer join transactionLine as line
on line.item = item.id
left outer join transaction as tran on line.transaction = tran.id
left outer join transaction as po on line.transaction = po.id and po.type = 'PurchOrd'
left outer join transaction as bill on line.transaction = bill.id and bill.type = 'VendBill'
left outer join transaction as sale on line.transaction = sale.id and sale.type in ('CustInvc', 'CashSale')
where item.id not in (select otl.item from transactionLine otl, transaction ot where
otl.transaction = ot.id and ot.status in ('SalesOrd:F'))
group by item.id, item.itemid
`;
console.log(sqlStr);
console.log(query.runSuiteQL({
query: sqlStr
}).asMappedResults().map((r, idx)=>{
if(!idx) console.log(JSON.stringify(r));
return `${r.id}\t${r.itemid}\t${r.po}\t${r.bill}\t${r.lastBilled}\t${r.sales}\t${r.trans}`;
}).join('\n'));
});
require(['N/search'], search=>{
const filters = search.load({id:304}).filters;
console.log(JSON.stringify(filters.find(f=>f.name == 'status'), null, ' '));
});
In terms of doing something with this you could run this in a saved search and email someone the results, show the results in a workbook in SuiteAnalytics or build a portlet to display the results - for this last Tim Dietrich has a nice write up on portlets and SuiteQL

How do I do a joined lookup with search.lookupFields()?

I'm trying to get some information about an item, including the item's subsidiary's logo, which naturally requires joining the item to the subsidiary.
The documentation for search.lookupFields says:
You can use joined-field lookups with this method, with the following syntax:
join_id.field_name
So, I duly request the fields I want, including a join on subsidiary:
require(['N/search'], function(search) {
var item = search.lookupFields({
type: search.Type.ITEM,
id: 2086,
columns: ['itemid', 'displayname', 'subsidiary.logo'],
});
log.debug(item);
});
itemid and displayname are fine, but when I try to join another record I get this error:
{
"type":"error.SuiteScriptError",
"name":"SSS_INVALID_SRCH_COLUMN_JOIN",
"message":"An nlobjSearchColumn contains an invalid column join ID, or is not in proper syntax: logo.",
"stack":["doLookupFields(N/search/searchUtil.js)","<anonymous>(adhoc$-1$debugger.user:2)","<anonymous>(adhoc$-1$debugger.user:1)"],
"cause":{
"type":"internal error",
"code":"SSS_INVALID_SRCH_COLUMN_JOIN",
"details":"An nlobjSearchColumn contains an invalid column join ID, or is not in proper syntax: logo.",
"userEvent":null,
"stackTrace":["doLookupFields(N/search/searchUtil.js)","<anonymous>(adhoc$-1$debugger.user:2)","<anonymous>(adhoc$-1$debugger.user:1)"],
"notifyOff":false
},
"id":"",
"notifyOff":false,
"userFacing":false
}
This seems to happen no matter which record and field I try to join. What am I missing?
Although you can return results from multi-select fields, you cannot join to fields on records referenced by multi-select fields (which the subsidiary field on the item record is). Also, you cannot search the logo field on the subsidiary record (not listed in Search Columns under Subsidiary in the NetSuite Records Browser).
This means you have to load the Subsidiary record to get the logo field. In other words:
require(['N/record', 'N/search'], function(record, search) {
var item = search.lookupFields({
type: search.Type.ITEM,
id: 2086,
columns: ['itemid', 'displayname', 'subsidiary'],
});
var subID = item.subsidiary[0].value; //internal id of *first* subsidiary
var subRec = record.load({
type: record.Type.SUBSIDIARY,
id: subID
});
var logo = subRec.getText('logo'); //gets the file name - use getValue to get its ID instead
});
Note that if multiple subsidiaries are set on the item, this only gets the values for the first one. You could iterate through the item.subsidiary result to handle values for multiple subsidiaries if required.
I believe you can't access to the subsidiary record from a lookupfield, you should do a proper search.
https://system.netsuite.com/help/helpcenter/en_US/srbrowser/Browser2018_2/script/record/item.html
You can only join to tables allowed in the Item search object. Try looking for "Subsidiary..." in the Search Results tab within the UI. It's not there. Use the Schema Browser to determine what fields and joins are available.
You cannot think of a NetSuite search as you would any regular SQL search. You have to be cognizant of which fields and which joins can be utilized via the search object.
As people have mentioned, the subsidiary is not a join field available from the item record, one way to achieve what you are trying to do is:
Make a lookup to get the internal id of the subsidiary belonging to the desired item.
Then make a lookup to get the internal id of the logo image (file cabinet image) belonging to the previous subsidiary.
Make another lookup/load the image file to get the URL of the image/logo
You can try to combine the above steps in a single saved search but I think you might need to load the image file to get the URL.
This won't answer your question, but this may help out in the future. The records browser shows everything that you can search and join on, columns and filters, and field IDs. Very useful when building out searches.

Netsuite Suitescript: How to retrieve records based on last modified date?

I am trying to retrieve records in Netsuite via SuiteScript. I would like to use the lastmodifieddate column to fetch record after a certain timestamp.
I am currently doing:
var filters = [new nlobjSearchFilter('lastmodifieddate', null, 'notbefore', time)];
var columns = [new nlobjSearchColumn('lastmodifieddate')];
var newSearch = nlapiCreateSearch(table, filters, columns);
var searchResultSet = newSearch.runSearch();
var back = nextEndIndex - 1000
var results = searchResultSet.getResults(back, nextEndIndex);
Where time is a datetime JS, nextEndIndex index counter for results.
This works for some objects but majority of Netsuite objects do not have the lastmodifieddate column in the record browser. Is there a built in variable for the lastmodifieddate? And if there is, how can I use it in nlapiCreateSearch? If you have better ways to do it, I would be grateful for the info.
Here is a simple example for SuiteScript 2.0.
define(['N/search'],function(search){
function test(chkDate){
log.debug(chkDate);
var empSearch=search.create({
type:search.Type.EMPLOYEE,
columns:['internalid','firstname','lastmodifieddate'],
filters:['lastmodifieddate','after',chkDate]
}).run().each(function(result){
log.debug(JSON.stringify(result));
return true;
});
}
test('05/30/2017');
});
This example is searching for employees, since I was not sure which record type you were looking at. Below are links to the information you can use to build out your searches:
Records Browser (look at the bottom of each section in the filters and columns):
Search Operators (shows which ones to use for which field types)
API Docs
Transactions are slightly different than entities. Transactions have lines. If you are trying to determine the true last modified date of a transaction, you may need to consider using the "Line Last Modified" field in place of "Last Modified Date." Try writing a simple search to pull Sales orders. Include "Last Modified Date" and "Line Last Modified." Then write a simple formula to show those that don't match. When I did this, there were a number of mismatches, with instances of "Line Last Modified" being more than 1 month later than "Last Modified Date." So if you are looking for the true last modified date, you may need to use the max "Line Last Modified."
You could use a 'Max' Summary Filter on {systemnotes.date} - you will of course need to Group by record (document number or internal id for example) for this to show correct results.

SuiteScript Access Custom Field in Sublist

I have added two fields to the contact sublist record of customers. Two boolean values. I checked the values to make sure that they would show but in code cannot access those values in SS 1 or SS 2 through a sublist line item, I am accessing like this "var statements = rec.getLineItemValue( 'contactroles', 'custentity_statements', "1" );". When I look in the object for the customer record and look in the "contactroles" sublist, I cannot see those columns. If I load the contact record in SS 1 I can see the columns. Any help with this would be great, I would like to do it in SS 2 but I am flexible, thanks
Not sure whether this helps, but you can retrieve the contact id, then load the contact record and check the field value. This is assuming the custom field showing in the contact sublist is a contact field. The documentation isn't too swift, but it looks as though not all sublist fields are supported for getFieldValue. This is in SS1, but if it does what you want we should be able to take the same idea and write it in SS2.
var rec = nlapiLoadRecord('customer','11499');
var conId = rec.getLineItemValue('contactroles', 'contact', 1);
var con = nlapiLoadRecord('contact',conId);
var statements = con.getFieldValue('custentity9');
console.log(statements); //T

How to get contacts associated in a company if the Contact record has empty Company field in NetSuite

I am creating a script that needs to get the contacts associated to a company. The script needs to work for both Customers and Vendors.
You can attach a Contact to a Customer or Vendor from the record screen and by doing this you can attach a Contact with an empty Company field.
I can use the sublist contactroles if it is a Customer record but that sublist is not available for the Vendor record.
Is there a way to get the contact records via search? So using the screenshot above can a search get the following contacts: Aiden Somerhalder, Alex Wolfe and Gerrom Test Contact.
I'd create a saved search of Vendors/Suppliers.
Add a filter to your result: contact : name is not empty
Add a column to your result: contact : name
Add a column to your result: contact : internalId
This should give you a set that your script can iterate through.
You should be able to create a vendor or customer search and the search should return the company/name or more details. Just select as a filter or column:
Contact fields... Company
Perhaps something like this (Running from within the record):
var filters = [];
var columns = [];
filters.push(new nlobjSearchFilter('internalidnumber', null, 'equalto', [nlapiGetRecordId()]));
columns.push(new nlobjSearchColumn('entityid', 'contact', null));
var results = nlapiSearchRecord(nlapiGetRecordType(), null, filters, columns);
