I am trying to populate the Department line item field as per the Department Transaction Body Field, please assist to check if my codes are right.. i am new to suitescript.
var itemDepartment = nlapiGetFieldValue('department');
var nlapiSetCurrentLineItemValue = nlapiSetCurrentLineItemValue('item', 'department_display', itemDepartment);
It keeps stating that department_display is not an internal ID.
Please advise.
Thank you.
Can you try setting text instead,if it is a client script.
The id of the department column field is 'department'
var itemDepartment = nlapiGetFieldText('department');
nlapiSetCurrentLineItemText('item', 'department', itemDepartment);
The id of the department column field is also department, same as the header field.
Therefore, the second line of you snippet should be:
nlapiSetCurrentLineItemValue('item','department',itemDepartment);
EDIT
As per the comment below, please find below the full code snippet to populate lines department from the customer on before submit:
function onBeforeSubmit(type) {
if (type == 'create' || type == 'edit') {
var customerId = nlapiGetFieldValue('entity');
var itemDepartment = nlapiLookupField('customer',customerId, 'custentity_department');
var itemCount = nlapiGetLineItemCount('item');
for (var i = 1; i <= itemCount; i++) {
nlapiSetLineItemValue('item', 'department', i, itemDepartment);
}
}
}
Also, as a side note, you don't have to load the whole record in order to get a field value. You should use nlapiLookupField instead. It's much faster, safer and less api usage.

I have a list of values each having another KEY value corresponding to it, when i present this list to user, user has to select a value and agent has to call an external api with selected value's KEY. how can i achieve this in dialogflow?
I tried to send the entire key value pair in the context and access it in the next intent but for some reason when i set a list(array) to context parameters dialogflow simply ignoring the fulfillment response.
What is happening here and is there any good way to achieve this? I am trying to develop a food ordering chatbot where the category of items in menu is presented and list items in that menu will fetched when user selects a category, this menu is not static thats why i am using api calls to get the dynamic menu.
function newOrder(agent)
{
var categories = []
var cat_parameters = {}
var catarray = []
const conv = agent.conv();
//conv.ask('sure, select a category to order');
agent.add('select a category to order');
return getAllCategories().then((result)=>{
for(let i=0; i< result.restuarantMenuList.length; i++)
{
try{
var name = result.restuarantMenuList[i].Name;
var catid = result.restuarantMenuList[i].Id;
categories.push(name)
//categories.name = catid
cat_parameters['id'] = catid;
cat_parameters['name'] = name
catarray.push(cat_parameters)
}catch(ex)
{
agent.add('trouble getting the list please try again later')
}
}
agent.context.set({
name: 'categorynames',
lifespan: 5,
parameters: catarray, // if i omit this line, the reponse is the fultillment response with categories names, if i keep this line the reponse is fetching from default static console one.
})
return agent.add('\n'+categories.toString())
})
function selectedCategory(agent)
{
//agent.add('category items should be fetched and displayed here');
var cat = agent.parameters.category
const categories = agent.context.get('categorynames')
const cat_ob = categories.parameters.cat_parameters
// use the key in the catarray with the parameter cat to call the external API
agent.add('you have selected '+ cat );
}
}
The primary issue is that the context parameters must be an object, it cannot be an array.
So when you save it, you can do something like
parameters: {
"cat_parameters": catarray
}
and when you deal with it when you get the reply, you can get the array back with
let catarray = categories.parameters.cat_parameters;
(There are some other syntax and scoping issues with your code, but this seems like it is the data availability issue you're having.)
I want to get the value from a Item sublist of Sales Order record.
But unable to get it. Though I can get the value of entity fields of the SO record.
Below is the snippet of the code:
var filters = new Array();
filters[0] = new nlobjSearchFilter("mainline",null,"is","T");
var column=new Array();
column[0] = new nlobjSearchColumn("trandate");
column[1] = new nlobjSearchColumn("item");
column[2] = new nlobjSearchColumn("cust_col_1");
var result = nlapiSearchRecord('salesorder', null, filters, column);
for(var i = 0; i<result.length; i++)
{
var col = result[i].getAllColumns();
var date = result[i].getFieldValue("trandate"); //I get this
var item_id = result[i].getLineItemValue("item", "item", i+1); // I don't get this
var cust_col = result[i].getLineItemValue("item", "cust_col_1", i+1); //I don't get this
}
I think I am defining the columns wrong.
This part
var item_id = result[i].getLineItemValue("item", "item", i+1); // I don't get this
var cust_col = result[i].getLineItemValue("item", "cust_col_1", i+1); //I don't get this
is also wrong, you use this syntax if you have loaded the record but for search results you just use
result[i].getValue('cust_col_1")
By specifying the filter new nlobjSearchFilter("mainline",null,"is","T"), you're basically telling the search that you don't want any line item data. This means that you will be unable to read any column data, custom or otherwise.
The mainline filter parameter has basically three options, 'F' means you want the line item details. 'T' means you just want the header data. Leaving this filter out will return one row for the header information and one row for each line item on the transaction.
I have a custom list that is used as a matrix option of Inventory item. Its 'Color'. This custom list has an abbreviation column. I am creating a saved search on item and using Color field(join) and trying to access 'Abbreviation' field of color.
Abbreviation on custom list is available on when 'Matrix Option List' is checked.
Can someone please help me achieve this? I tried to do this through script and it seems like we cannot access 'Abbreviation' column through script. I also tried to use script to write a search directly on 'Color' - custom list and get the 'abbreviation' through search columns. It did not work. Is there a way to access 'Abbreviation' from custom lists?
Thanks in Advance
You can access it via suitescript by using the record type "customlist" and the internal id of the list like so:
var rec = nlapiLoadRecord('customlist', 5);
var abbreviation = rec.getLineItemValue('customvalue', 'abbreviation', 1);
nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG', 'abbreviation', abbreviation);
Keep in mind that the third argument of getLineItemValue is the line number, not the internal ID of the item in the list. If you want to find a specifc line item, you may want to use rec.findLineItemValue(group, fldnam, value).
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this translates to saved searches. The suiteanswer at https://netsuite.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/10653 has the following code:
var col = new Array();
col[0] = new nlobjSearchColumn('name');
col[1] = new nlobjSearchColumn('internalid');
var results = nlapiSearchRecord('customlist25', null, null, col);
for ( var i = 0; results != null && i < results.length; i++ )
{
var res = results[i];
var listValue = (res.getValue('name'));
var listID = (res.getValue('internalid'));
nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG', (listValue + ", " + listID));
}
However, whatever part of the application layer translates this into a query doesn't handle the abbreviation field. One thing to keep in mind is that the 'custom list' record is basically a header record, and each individual entry is it's own record that ties to it. You can see some of the underlying structure here, but the takeaway is that you'd need some way to drill-down into the list entries, and the saved search interface doesn't really support it.
I could be wrong, but I don't think there's any way to get it to execute in a saved search as-is. I thought the first part of my answer might help you find a workaround though.
Here is a NetSuite SuiteScript 2.0 search I use to find the internalId for a given abbreviation in a custom list.
/**
* look up the internal id value for an abbreviation in a custom list
* #param string custom_list_name
* #param string abbreviation
* #return int
* */
function lookupNetsuiteCustomListInternalId( custom_list_name, abbreviation ){
var internal_id = -1;
var custom_list_search = search.create({
type: custom_list_name,
columns: [ { name:'internalId' }, { name:'abbreviation' } ]
});
var filters = [];
filters.push(
search.createFilter({
name: 'formulatext',
formula: "{abbreviation}",
operator: search.Operator.IS,
values: abbreviation
})
);
custom_list_search.filters = filters;
var result_set = custom_list_search.run();
var results = result_set.getRange( { start:0, end:1 } );
for( var i in results ){
log.debug( 'found custom list record', results[i] );
internal_id = results[i].getValue( { name:'internalId' } );
}
return internal_id;
}
Currently NetSuite does not allows using join on matrix option field. But as you mentioned, you can use an extra search to get the result, you could first fetch color id from item and then use search.lookupFields as follows
search.lookupFields({ type: MATRIX_COLOR_LIST_ID, id: COLOR_ID, columns: ['abbreviation'] });
Note: Once you have internalid of the color its better to use search.lookupFields rather than creating a new search with search.create.
I have a userevent script to change the Field in Contract record from PO record. The Script is running fine. But whenever I edit a contract record and try to submit it : It throws the error "Another user has updated this record since you began editing it. Please close the record and open it again to make your changes".
May I know the reason behind this ?

The User Event script executes as the Contract record is being saved to the database. At the same time, you are loading a second copy of the record from the database and trying to submit the copy as well. This is causing the error you're seeing.
You fix this by just using nlapiSetFieldValue to set the appropriate field on the Contract.
I might also recommend getting more familiar with JavaScript by going through the JavaScript Guide over at MDN. In particular, take a look at the Boolean description so that you know how JavaScript evaluates Boolean expressions. This will help you greatly reduce the amount of code you've written here, as many of your conditionals are unnecessary.
What userevent do you have? It is happening depending on what type of user event and API you are using. Looking at your code, you are trying to load contract record that is already updated at the database. So you might consider below to address your issue. Hope, it helps.
If it is a before submit, you don't need to load the record where the script is deployed.
Just use nlapiGet* and nlapiSet* to get and set values. You also don't need to use nlapiSubmitRecord to reflect the change. With before submit, it executes before the record is being saved to the database. So your changes will still be reflected.
Then if it is after submit, it will be executed after the record has been saved to the database, Thus you might use the following API depending on your needs. Actually, this is the best practice to make sure the solution .
nlapiGetNewRecord - only use this if the script only needs to retrieve info from header and sublists. And nothing to set.
nlapiLookupField - use this if the script only needs to get value/s at the header and nothing from the line.
nlapiSubmitField - the script don't need to load and submit record if the changes only on header. Just use this API.
nlapiLoadRecord and nlapiSubmitRecord- use the former if the script will have changes at the line and then use the latter api to commit it on the database.
Being a user event script code, The code you showed is very not good considering performance.
Here is the sample you can merge
var stRecordid = nlapiGetRecordId(); //returns the contract id
// Every record has an internal id associated with it. No need to add condition explicitly to check if its null
var stRecordtype = nlapiGetRecordType();
var fields = ['entityid','companyname'];
var columns = nlapiLookupField(stRecordtype, stRecordid, fields);
var stContractID = columns.entityid;
var stCompanyName = columns.companyname;
nlapiLogExecution('debug','stContractID/stCompanyName',stContractID+'/'+stCompanyName);
var stConcatenate = stContractID+" : "+stCompanyName; //Concatenate the two Fields to get the result which needs to be found in PO
//
//your code of search
//you can improve that code also by using nlapilook up
nlapiSubmitField(stRecordtype, stRecordid, 'custentityranking_vendor_name', 'name to be updated');
I am trying to incorporate a check at the item line level when creating an invoice. Basically if they are adding an item within a certain category (custitem8) i need an alert to pop up for the sales rep.
Not sure if this should be using fieldchanged or validateline.
Sorry Im not really a programmer and am learning on the job mostly by trial and error. Thanks for your help.
function ValidateLine(type)
{
if (nlapiGetCurrentLineItemValue('item', 'custitem8') = 'Order in Only - Not For Trade Guide')
{
alert("Order In Only, Please contact Purchasing");
}
return true;
}
The suggested code will not work, instead of using nlapiGetLineItemValue use nlapiGetCurrentLineItemValue.
the code should look like this.
postSourcing(sublistId, fieldId) {
if(sublistId == "item" && fieldId == "item") {
var itemId = nlapiGetCurrentLineItemValue(sublistId, fieldId);
var category = nlapiLookupField("item", itemId, "custitem8");
if(category == "Order in Only - Not For Trade Guide") {
alert("Order In Only, Please contact Purchasing");
}
}
}
I'm assuming you just need an alert when the user selects a line Item? If so, I would suggest using postSourcing(sublistId, fieldId) (though using validateLine(sublistId) works just fine).
As for the actual function content, I'm assuming (based on the field ID) "custitem8" is a field on the Item record. If so, you will have to load the field from the Item record first.
Based on my understanding of your post, I would go about it like this:
postSourcing(sublistId, fieldId) {
if(sublistId == "item" && fieldId == "item") {
var itemId = nlapiGetLineItemValue("item", "item");
var category = nlapiLookupField("item", itemId, "custitem8");
if(category == "Order in Only - Not For Trade Guide") {
alert("Order In Only, Please contact Purchasing");
}
}
}
And just a note, I don't really know the data type of the "custitem8" field, so I'm just assuming it's a free-form text field.
