I want to set total sold quantity in last six months in custom field on item and want to use that for other customization.
I am able to display it on the field using summary search but not able to save it.
The value of a Saved Search custom field is calculated every time the record is displayed and not stored in the database, which is why you can't use it directly in other customizations. A workaround is to have a second field which stores the value, and then you can use a Workflow or script to copy the field value.

User requirement is to create duplicate customer field in Invoice screen and that custom field is using for some historical data, But by default we are passing current Invoice customer value and later we are allowing user to change the custom field.
so in this case is there a way to set the value for existing records through code with out refreshing/modifying the existing record.
I have tried by using field level PXDefault attribute but that will not work in my case so their any events or some code to update custom field value for existing fields.
Thanks in advance.
I believe PXDefault would only execute when a new Row is being inserted. Perhaps one option could be to explicitly call cache.SetDefaultExt(e.Row) if value is null, but I am not sure whether it is 'legal' to do it on a row Selected
One other possibility is to use Generic Inquiry Mass Update (https://asiablog.acumatica.com/2016/09/mass-processing-using-gi.html). This way to could perhaps update past records in bulk. But be careful of Acumatica Transaction License limits.
NetSuite custom list internal id for values is disabled by default. is there a way i can add my own id for the custom list values.
i am trying to create a custom record to save expense clain details for employee. i have many list to hold datas for diffrent category. it will be better insted of 1,2,3 i can give my own Internal id.
Brett's answer gives you a method by which you can change the text ID of the list, but you cannot change the internal ID of the list's values. This id is set automatically by NetSuite (or probably the underlying database) and is needed to ensure consistency of data within the application. Instead, consider converting the list into a custom record, which will allow you to create another field to use as an external ID, which you can add/update by CSV import (you need to use the Internal ID as key when doing this).
Once converted to a record, you could also add a new field to use as a reference, depending on how you're using it.
To convert to a record, simply check the Convert to Custom Record box on the list page shown in your screenshot and click Save.
Click the “Change Id” button
Enter the new value.
Click Save
Note: Netsuite will prefix the value you enter with ‘customlist’
I am trying to create 2 custom fields on a Sales Order; to show the total number of items that are unfulfilled, and the total combined $ amount of those items.
I have been searching for awhile and the only help I could find is that this should be possible with a saved search.
So, I have created a saved search;
And I have created a custom transaction field (see below) which I believe is referencing my saved search, but how do I select which value it refers to? The field underneath where I selected my saved search BACKORDERS SUMMARY, doesn't appear to be related at all.
The Field dropdown below the Search is not for selecting from the search results field. Summary Searches provide 1 summary value only. If you want 2 different values, you need 2 different searches.
The Field dropdown is used to select the field from the current record to use as the filter for the saved search. Assuming your custom fields are placed on the Sales Order, you'll want to set your Available Filters criteria to Internal ID and leave the Field dropdown on the custom summary search field blank. (ie: just select your search from the Search dropdown. NS will pass in the internal id when the record is loaded.)
Try splitting your Backorders Summary search into 2 different searches, each with a single summary result type, update the filters, and set the Search drop downs to the appropriate values. Should work just fine.
I have a form where I need to include a calculated field. I made a very simple test using a calculated field where the formula is "=ID". I just want to confirm that the value I'm getting in the view is the same as the ID of the record in the list.
I press NEW and create a new record. Then when I see the new record in the view, the first column is the ID (let's say 11), then some proper fields form the form and finally the calculated field that instead of showing me the value 11, it shows 0.
Then I follow the following steps:
I go to Settings, List Settings
Click on the calculated field to edit it (only edit it with no modifications) and press on OK (no modifications to the calculated field at all)
Go back to the list of records and now the calculated value shows me the value 11
I google it but no solution.. there is someone say that this issue is from the column ID, it mean 'when you initially save the item is that there is no value for "ID" yet' !
and this isn't my state, the column id is incremented normally when add new item.
Anyone can help me to identify with the calculated field does not shows 11 automatically after the record is saved?
or by follow another solution like using a workflow 2013..
Thanks a lot
You can not use [ID] in a Calculated Column formula.
I won't bother with the long technical explanation...
If it was possible, Microsoft would have added it to the list of Fields you can select when writing a Formula.
Workaround is to make a simple SharePoint Designer Workflow which kicks off on Item creation and saves the ID value to another Column.
You can then use that Column in your Calculated Formulas
If you're doing anything front-end.. jQuery.. CSR/JSlink.. the ID value is available in the attribute id of the Item TableRow (TR) as x,id,y
so you can get the id with
var ID={element}.getAttribute('id')[1]
Update #1 - example code used:
="<a href='/sites/ru1/Lists/ao26c/DispForm.aspx?ID='
target='_blank'><img src= '_layouts/images/blank.gif'
onload= ""var row=this;
while(row.tagName!='TR'){row=row.parentNode};
this.parentNode.href+=row.getAttribute('id').split(',')[1];
"">Открыть</a>"
For our Employee records within NetSuite, we have a custom field called "Employee Number" with an ID of custentity1. I've created a workflow that will automatically create a new employee record and populate various fields but the one I'm having difficulty with is the Employee Number field. All I want to do is to grab the largest employee number there is out of all of the Employee records and add one to it for the new employee record.
The Employee Number field is a free-form text field so I know I'll have to use TO_NUMBER, but anytime I try and reference {custentity1} I keep getting an error saying that field is not found.
UPDATE: I've created a new custom field for our employee records called "Employee No." with an ID of custentity_employeenumber. I've also created a javascript file with the following:
function getMaxEmployeeNumber(){
var empNumber = nlobjSearchColumn('custentity_employeenumber', null, 'max');
return empNumber;
}
But how to do I get this to work with my records?
NetSuite does have an auto-numbering mechanism built in to its native functionality that most of our customers use for this exact purpose. Is there a special reason this functionality is not being leveraged? This functionality is accessible at Setup > Company > Auto-generated Numbers.
I do not work much with workflows, so I do not know if this same functionality is possible there, but here is how I would solve this in SuiteScript:
Create User Event script that is executed on Before Submit Create event for Customer records
Create a Customer search that has a Search Column for custentity1 with a summary type of max
new nlobjSearchColumn('custentity1', null, 'max');
Running this search should give you 1 result, which is the maximum customer number. You can then just add 1 to it.
You could create a similar Saved Search in the UI to see what the result set looks like.
This will only really work if the field is a Number, not Text. I would suggest changing the field to an Integer field if you know that it will always be a number. This may clear out existing data, so first you could export all customers and their number to Excel and then do a CSV import after changing the field.
How are you looking for the last employee in a workflow?
I know this can be done in js:
Search employees - returns max 1000
For number of employees give me the custentity1 of the last one - nlapiLookupfield('employee',employees[employees.length],'custentity1')
Add +1 and save on new record
If you use this search column
nlobjSearchColumn('custentity1', null, 'max');
You can also sort it in decreasing value so that the first result is always the max. Something like
nlobjSearchColumn('custentity1', null, 'max').setSort(true);
