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.

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.

I am trying to somewhat mimic NetSuite's Landed Cost feature using NetSuite's customization options (SuiteBuilder,SuiteScript etc.) and then further extend the functionality according to my requirements.
For this I need to in script, get value of "LANDED COST CATEGORY" line field of item sublist in the Transaction records (like Bill, Purchase Order etc.) using saved search.
But in a saved search I was unable to find any Column/scriptId which would give me value of LANDED COST CATEGORY line field. We ARE able to get this value using record.load().getValue() but I need this value from multiple transaction records and using this approach may cause performance issues. So, please can you tell how we can access this value using saved search.
I don't believe Netsuite exposes that field in saved searches at this time. This is the records browser in Netsuite listing all of the available search columns for Transaction searches. The internal id for that column is landedcostcategory, and that doesn't show up on the list.
However, if your goal is to get this information in SuiteScript, then you can use the 'N/query' module. Pull up one of your Purchase Orders, open the Javascript console (Ctrl+Shift+J) and try this:
require(['N/query'], (query) => {
const suiteqlQuery = `SELECT
transaction as transaction_id,
BUILTIN.DF(transaction) as transaction_name,
BUILTIN.DF(item) as item_name,
item as item_id,
landedcostcategory as landedcostcategory_id,
BUILTIN.DF(landedcostcategory) as landedcostcategory_name
FROM
transactionline
WHERE
transaction='<internal id of your PO here>'`;
const results = query.runSuiteQL({query: suiteqlQuery}).asMappedResults();
console.log(JSON.stringify(results, null, 2));
/*
Example output for results:
[
{
"transaction_id": "12345",
"transaction_name": "Purchase Order #PO123456",
"item_name": "My Favorite iPod",
"item_id": 1234,
"landedcostcategory_id": 1,
"landedcostcategory_name": "Duties & Tariffs"
}
]
*/
})
I added a sublist field on a transaction. For instance a Sales Order. When you add the field via user event script, it positions the field at the end of the sublist. Is there a way to position the field? This can't be accomplished in the UI as the field is added via script. It's a select type field, so I am trying to modify the list values with client script and can only do that if the field is created in my user even script. My code works perfectly fine, it's just the field is at the end of the sublist line(far right and have to scroll). I am using SuiteScript 1.0 but am open to using 2.0 if I need to.
This is for suitescript 2.0
This has sort of turned into two questions so I will give an answer for one and then the solution, for clarity. The short answer is you cannot move a sublist field when created in a user event (however there is a solution to that.)
you can add a sublist field by getting the sublist and using the sublist.addField method.
function beforeLoad(context){
var form = context.form;
var sublist = form.getSublist({
id : 'item'
});
sublist.addField({
id: 'fieldid you want to use for script reference ect.',
type: serverWidget.FieldType.CHECKBOX, //any supported TYPE
label: 'Label users will see in sublist'
});
}
If done this way, there will be a new column on the end of the items sublist that cannot be moved.
To be able to move the location of the column do the following.
Navigate to
Customization
Lists, Records, & Fields
Transaction Line Fields
add a new field and apply to the sublist you want it used on.
you can assign and id which will be prefixed with custcol so start your id with an _ and give it a name.
Once this is complete you can access the field by id and change the value in your user event script before load
function beforeLoad(context){
var form = context.form;
var sublist = form.getSublist({
id : 'item'
});
sublist.setSublistValue({
id: 'customcol_id_created_in_ui',
line: 1, //line you want to access if needing to set all you will have to loop through and set each one.
value: "your value"
});
}
If you go to the API reference and look at the ui/serverWidget module and navigate to sublist you can find all of the methods and options for manipulating sublist there.
In SuiteScript 2.x you would use the N/ui/serverWidget module, create the field and then use the Form.insertField(options) method, passing in the field you created as options.field and the existing field which you want to insert your field before as options.nextfield. Note that Form refers to the form object passed to the user event script in the scriptContext.
i don't believe there is a SS1.0 equivalent.
I have a Suitescript search that is returning the following columns.
{"columns":[{"name":"trandate","label":"Date","type":"date","sortdir":"ASC"},{"name":"refnumber","label":"Reference Number","type":"integer","sortdir":"NONE"},{"name":"closedate","label":"Date Closed","type":"date","sortdir":"NONE"},{"name":"custbody_eft_bill_payment","join":"payingTransaction","label":"EFT Bill Payment","type":"checkbox","sortdir":"NONE"},{"name":"tranid","join":"payingTransaction","label":"Check Number","type":"text","sortdir":"NONE"},{"name":"amount","label":"Amount","type":"currency","sortdir":"NONE"}]}
And I am using the list.addRows() method to display the results in a suitelet list where I have defined the columns using the list.addColumns() method but I have not been able to successfully get the columns that are created from a join. I also can find no documentation on how to include them. I have tried the following
list.addColumn({
id: 'payingTransaction.tranid',
label: 'Payment#',
type: ui.FieldType.TEXT,
})
list.addColumn({
id: 'tranid',
label: 'Payment#',
type: ui.FieldType.TEXT,
})
Any help would be appreciated!
Not sure if this will help, but when running through your results you can use one of two methods to get the resulting data:
Use the join in the getValue() call
results.getValue({name:"tranid",join:"payingTransaction"});
Grab the data by Columns
var columns=result.columns;
var tranid=result.getValue(columns[0]);
The first option will need to be told whether it is a join, group, etc...
The second option will just grab the resulting column, no matter whether it is a join, group, or anything else.
I seem to be stuck on a classic ORM issue and don't know really how to handle it, so at this point any help is welcome.
Is there a way to get the pivot table on a hasManyThrough query? Better yet, apply some filter or sort to it. A typical example
Table products
id,title
Table categories
id,title
table products_categories
productsId, categoriesId, orderBy, main
So, in the above scenario, say you want to get all categories of product X that are (main = true) or you want to sort the the product categories by orderBy.
What happens now is a first SELECT on products to get the product data, a second SELECT on products_categories to get the categoriesId and a final SELECT on categories to get the actual categories. Ideally, filters and sort should be applied to the 2nd SELECT like
SELECT `id`,`productsId`,`categoriesId`,`orderBy`,`main` FROM `products_categories` WHERE `productsId` IN (180) WHERE main = 1 ORDER BY `orderBy` DESC
Another typical example would be wanting to order the product images based on the order the user wants them to
so you would have a products_images table
id,image,productsID,orderBy
and you would want to
SELECT from products_images WHERE productsId In (180) ORDER BY orderBy ASC
Is that even possible?
EDIT : Here is the relationship needed for an intermediate table to get what I need based on my schema.
Products.hasMany(Images,
{
as: "Images",
"foreignKey": "productsId",
"through": ProductsImagesItems,
scope: function (inst, filter) {
return {active: 1};
}
});
Thing is the scope function is giving me access to the final result and not to the intermediate table.
I am not sure to fully understand your problem(s), but for sure you need to move away from the table concept and express your problem in terms of Models and Relations.
The way I see it, you have two models Product(properties: title) and Category (properties: main).
Then, you can have relations between the two, potentially
Product belongsTo Category
Category hasMany Product
This means a product will belong to a single category, while a category may contain many products. There are other relations available
Then, using the generated REST API, you can filter GET requests to get items in function of their properties (like main in your case), or use custom GET requests (automatically generated when you add relations) to get for instance all products belonging to a specific category.
Does this helps ?
Based on what you have here I'd probably recommend using the scope option when defining the relationship. The LoopBack docs show a very similar example of the "product - category" scenario:
Product.hasMany(Category, {
as: 'categories',
scope: function(instance, filter) {
return { type: instance.type };
}
});
In the example above, instance is a category that is being matched, and each product would have a new categories property that would contain the matching Category entities for that Product. Note that this does not follow your exact data scheme, so you may need to play around with it. Also, I think your API query would have to specify that you want the categories related data loaded (those are not included by default):
/api/Products/13?filter{"include":["categories"]}
I suggest you define a custom / remote method in Product.js that does the work for you.
Product.getCategories(_productId){
// if you are taking product title as param instead of _productId,
// you will first need to find product ID
// then execute a find query on products_categories with
// 1. where filter to get only main categoris and productId = _productId
// 2. include filter to include product and category objects
// 3. orderBy filter to sort items based on orderBy column
// now you will get an array of products_categories.
// Each item / object in the array will have nested objects of Product and Category.
}
$queryBuilder
->add('select', 'd.item')
->add('from', 'Entities:TypeDetail d')
->add('where', $queryBuilder->expr()->andx(
$queryBuilder->expr()->gt('d.dateValue', $dates['start']),
$queryBuilder->expr()->lt('d.dateValue', $dates['end']))
);
TypeDetail (the table) has the following fields:
id, dateValue, itemId
And the model in Symfony is:
id, dateValue, item (object)
What I want to do is get a result containing only the item objects. I don't want the item id or any of the date values (while I do need them to filter the query, I don't actually care about them coming back in the response).
Is that possible? Obviously d.item as the select is not working!
