We have a three level approval for purchase orders. I have received a requirement to show who approved at each level and the timestamp against every PO in saved search,
When I started creating this search, I am struggling to get the data for every PO in one line, as the system note data has one line each for every approval.
Can you please advise on how to get these multiplelines on a single line for every PO?
Thanks,
Check out the undocumented NS_CONCAT function for saved searches.

I'm working on creating a journal entry from an invoice if the invoice is checkmarked on a field. This is a little more complicated than I'm used to, so I wanted to ask for a little guidance.
What I need to do is:
afterSubmit(){}:
Get invoice number and related sales order number (Done - easy)
Retrieve the lineCount (Done)
Loop through lines to getValue for item and amounts (Done - I know how to do this)
Create a journal entry (Able to initiate this)
Apply the values from the invoice line data for both credit and debit (Unsure)
The parts I'm not sure about:
Is getValue the best way to retrieve the line item data? Do I have an object at this point that I can iterate through? How do I look at this object with a logDebug() or the debugger? Or if there is another way to get the sublist, how do I see the sublist data?
Should I actually get the invoice values on beforeSubmit() and then create the JE with afterSubmit()? Can I use the values in an afterSubmit() function?
What is the method to pull out line data and apply with setSublistValue()?
If anyone can guide me on this last process, it would help.
Thanks.
I am updating my company's system so that it supports dropshipping items. Ever since I switched to this type of item it asks me to complete the order after I approved it. what is it that I am missing so that I can skip this step altogether, is it even possible to skip the step, or to complete multiple orders at the same time (like how you can approve multiple orders)?
It bears mentioning the Company operates in Mexico.
the steps I take are as follow:
I create and save a sales order, that is, I put in the client, the document and reference number, and the item, as well as a couple of custom fields
the next screen asks me to approve the order, I do it and it creates the matching purchase order
then instead of being able to invoice, I first have to "complete" which takes me to an order fulfillment form
I save that and the order can be invoiced.
Ideally, after approval, I would just be able to invoice
Generally a sales order is not invoicable until it's been fulfilled.
You can override that at a whole account level by going to
Setup -> Accounting -> Accounting Preferences
Order Management tab
scroll to Invoicing
check 'Invoice in Advance of Fulfillment'
Be aware this is a system level setting and if you used to be able to invoice before fulfillment someone else in your company may have unchecked this setting in the recent past.
Alternatively at the individual item level you can use the 'Can be fulfilled/received' checkbox to allow invoicing without fulfilling. Note that 'Can be fulfilled/received' may not be changed after an item has been ordered.
Normally (US/Canada) an order should not be invoiced until it is shipped. Customer Deposits on Sales Orders are the preferred way to handle pre-payment for GAAP etc reasons.
In NetSuite, I am trying to create a Saved Search report that shows field changes to individual contract line items. I will be using this report to reconstruct historical data, including pricing and quantities.
I have a Transaction Saved Search that shows me each contract and every contract line item. I have tried to include System Notes fields to pull in the field history, but it is only able to show me System Notes for the overall contract record (not the individual line items).
I also tried creating a System Notes Saved Search, which pulled the details I was looking for, but does not show me the Internal ID of the record (it shows me the "Record", which appears as a string - ex: "Contract #12345"). It also does not show me the ID of the contract line item, so even if I am able to join based on the Contract ID, I don't know which line items were affected.
If I navigate to the contract in NetSuite and look at the Items list, I am able to click the "History" button to see a list of changes - this is the information I am trying to pull. Is there any way to do this through a Saved Search?
Transaction item sublist history, is not yet exposed on the saved search/suitescript.
There might be an enhancement request for this use case.
I was hoping you could help me. I have a calendar in SharePoint 2010 that I want to run a Nintex Workflow when the following conditions are true:
A new item is created
The "Type of Leave" field equals "Vacation". This field I created as just a category for the types of requests.
The date that the item was created for already has an entry with the "Type of Leave" field equaling "Vacation."
The use of this will be that the first person to enter vacation on a day will be automatically granted. But if more than one person enters vacation on the day that another vacation day is on, it will go through an approval process through their manager.
Here's what I've tried/reviewed:
- Using a Condition within a workflow. I can't find an option that would complete this.
- I did try looking on line searching for different solutions. I've watched some tutorials but nothing with this kind of solution was present.
- One thought I did have was to have an additional calculated column that counted how many entries for the same day with "Vacation" and then use that in a condition if the column was greater than 1 but I couldn't figure out the syntax.
This is on SharePoint 2010.
Thank you!
have you considered using the rest interface to query the list from nintex:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff521587(v=office.14).aspx
You can call this service from nintext using the call web service action.
Apply the filters on the url as per documentation above and count the records returned you can then include that in the nintext condition.
I am not sure if Nintext supports calls to Restfull services (from memory i think it does).
If not, you can use the Soap web service, same principle as above just the parameters to call it are slightly more complicated:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/lists.lists.getlistitems(v=office.12).aspx
I don't think there's an need for REST. Once your workflow starts, query the list for items matching the current item booking date and put the result in a collection. You can query the collection length, and if it's >0 you can use that condition to steer the logic of your workflow.
i am looking to create an invoice in either MS-excel or MS-word. This invoice will contain several fields like invoice no., customer name, product info, quantity, Amount, Date, Address of customer, phone no. etc. The function of the invoice will be, to generate a unique invoice number, every time i open it, and then the vendor will mention the customer's info, product's info and click on submit button or save it. The info mentioned in the invoice will automatically be saved in the MS-Access database whenever submit button is clicked or the document is saved.
Thus, All the records of the customer will be saved in the MS-Access database. whenever i need to search for a particular customer, i should be able to search it from either invoice no. or any unique field for that particular invoice. I hope my query is explained clearly. please let me know the easiest way to do it. I do not have the vast knowledge about this subject, so give me suggestions that are understandable by a Novice.
I think you are starting from the wrong end. Use an Access form to get the data and then run a mailmerge, the easiest way is to output a text file from Access as the data file and use a Word template for the merge.
An autonumber may suit for invoice number as long as all you need is a unique number. If you need documented sequential numbers, you will have to create then yourself. How you do it will depend on the number of users working at the same time.
I can tell you now, generating Word files with Access is a bit of a pain in the ass. If you really want to do formatting it gets hard (is my experience).
I ended up generating HTML files in which I could control everything, and opening them as .docs. But if you are really new to this, I suggest you start with some VBA tutorials, where they explain to you how you get records from you database and loop through them to generate output. And then you can start looking at file writing functions in VBA.
Can't find any tutorials real quick (my girlfriend is getting angry as we speak), but here is a sample:

Just look around in fora, look for file generation and looping through records.
Hi just reading your post, like Remou l would strongly suggest you use Access to enter and store the data. It is possible to get a user to enter data into a spreadsheet and write the data back to Access DB. Not something l would recommend for the novice, here is a link to some code on how it could be done
Returning to your first question, of creating the invoice have you considered generating the invoices from Access using a report? They can be printed to PDF, or exported to various electronic formats. Or is there specific reason to use Word/Excel? If are going down the route of using Word to generate the invoice then use a template as Remou suggested. See this link for some samples see the section titled Access > Word. I have used the examples as a basis for Access to Word. A number of the examples though use a tecnology called DAO, which l understand will not be included in any operating system after Windows 7. Just something to be aware of.
Searching for a record in a database table this link has one possible solution . Also the author has included a example database.
