I am trying to search Account data using SuiteScript 1.0 in netsuite, but I am getting "SS_INVALID_SRCH_COL Details: An nlobjSearchColumn contains an invalid column, or is not in proper syntax:" error. I am using Admin role for my login. following the code sample that causing error
function getMasterData(datain)
{
try
{
var recordtype = 'account';
var c;
var strcolumns = nlapiCreateRecord(recordtype).getAllFields();
var searchcolumns = [];
for (c = 0; strcolumns.length && c < strcolumns.length; c += 1)
{
searchcolumns.push(new nlobjSearchColumn(strcolumns[c]));
}
var data = nlapiSearchRecord(recordtype, null, null, searchcolumns);
return data;
}
catch (ex)
{
nlapiLogExecution('debug', 'getMasterData', ex);
}
}
I know the reason: getAllFields() returns all the fields (searchable/nonsearchable) but nlapiSearchRecord works only for searchable fields. My query is how I can filter searchable fields in the all fields returned by getAllFields() function.
Can please anybody help me regarding this. Thanks in advance.
There's no way to know if a field can be used in a search but you can get the supported fields from the Records Browser and create an array with them.
Note that you can get a record with all fields and values using nlapiLoadRecord.

I'm creating a Scheduled SuiteScript in Netsuite that uses the 1.0 version of the API. The goal is to have the script run once per day to send our first time customers an email with their name (or company name) and other pre-formatted content using a Scriptable Email Template.
Once it is up and running, we are planning to extend it with additional functionality, but this is the base that we would like to have running before adding additional code.
The error message is:
SSS_MERGER_ERROR_OCCURRED - Merger error occurred: Unexpected error encountered during merging.
Everything goes smooth up until actually using .merge(). I've added the code below:
function thankyouletter() {
var searchresults = nlapiSearchRecord(null, 'customsearch127'); // minus: , filters
if (searchresults == null) {
response.write('Var searchresults is null.');
return;
} else {
nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG', 'START - Found search results', 'Starting iteration');
for (var i = 0; searchresults != null && i < searchresults.length; i++) {
var searchresult = searchresults[i];
var searchCols = searchresult.getAllColumns();
var internalid = searchresult.getId(); // Will be used after testing is finished
var emailMerger = nlapiCreateEmailMerger(38);
emailMerger.setEntity('customer', 24886); // Set for Testing
var mergeResult = emailMerger.merge(); // Fails and errors here
var emailSubject = mergeResult.getSubject();
var emailBody = mergeResult.getBody();
nlapiSendEmail(nlapiGetUser(), customerid, emailSubject, emailBody, null, null, null, null);
nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG', 'Merge Troubleshooting', 'Just after SendEmail');
}
}
var usageRemaining = context.getRemainingUsage();
nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG', 'usage left => ' + usageRemaining);
nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG', 'Script Finished.', 'Mission Complete');
}
I've removed some of the nlapiLogExecution lines for readability. If anything is confusing or additional info is needed, please let me know and I'll add/fix it.
I've dug through piles of Netsuite's documentation, SuiteAnswers, and web searches trying to find the solution, but the error message is pretty vague.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you.
After further research, I found that the Freemarker Template had a syntax error, and that was causing the error.
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 created a search in Netsuite using Suitescript 1.0 for searching a particular "Account" using its account number. When I save the following script file, an error is being displayed in "filters[0]" line in the code below, where it says "acctnumber is not a valid internal id.". I am new to Netsuite and would want to know why the error is being displayed, and the solution for the same. Below is the following piece of code written in which the error is being occured.
function COGSAcnt() {
var cOGSAcntNumber = '50001';
var acntNo;
var filters = new Array();
filters[0] = new nlobjSearchFilter('acctnumber', null, 'startswith', cOGSAcntNumber);
var columns = new Array();
columns[0] = new nlobjSearchColumn('internalid');
var acntSearch = nlapiSearchRecord('account', null, filters, columns);
if (acntSearch != null) {
for (x=0; x<acntSearch.length; x++) {
acntNo = ITMSearch[x].getValue('internalid');
}
}
nlapiLogExecution('debug', 'acntNo', acntNo);
return acntNo;
}
NOTE: I want the filter to be acctnumber (Account Number), and using that would want to retrieve the internalid of the account in Netsuite.
This is where NS can be a little confusing. If you look at the NS Record browser (http://www.netsuite.com/help/helpcenter/en_US/srbrowser/Browser2016_2/script/record/account.html) look under the Filters section. Account Number (acctnumber) isn't there. However Number (number) is the filter.
Try rewriting the code to use number instead
function COGSAcnt() {
var cOGSAcntNumber = '50001';
var acntNo = [];
var filters = new nlobjSearchFilter('number', null, 'startswith', cOGSAcntNumber);
var acntSearch = nlapiSearchRecord('account', null, filters, columns);
if (acntSearch != null) {
for (x=0; x<acntSearch.length; x++) {
acntNo.push(ITMSearch[x].getId();
}
}
return acntNo;
}
I have really big problem, i mean im working in a company where we are using NetSuite as our business platform and now they updated our account with new APIs.
Developer before me wrote this code
for(var k = 0; k < ResultsPPCI.length; k++){
EmployeePPCI = ResultsPPCI[k].getValue('internalid'); //get the value
// log('Internal ID', EmployeePPCI);
// Merge, send, and associate an email with Purchase Order record (id=1000)
var mergeValuesPPCI = {};
mergeValuesPPCI.NLEMPFIRST = nlapiLookupField('employee', EmployeePPCI, 'firstname');
mergeValuesPPCI.NLEMPLAST = nlapiLookupField('employee', EmployeePPCI, 'lastname');
mergeValuesPPCI.NLSUPPLIER = nlapiLookupField('customer', cust, 'companyname');
mergeValuesPPCI.NLPRODUCTCODE = productcodehtml;
var emailBodyPPCI = nlapiMergeRecord(65, 'purchaseorder', poID, null, null, mergeValuesPPCI);
var recordsPPCI = {};
recordsPPCI['transaction'] = poID;
nlapiSendEmail(EmployeePPCI, EmployeePPCI, emailBodyPPCI.getName(), emailBodyPPCI.getValue(), null, null, recordsPPCI);
// log('EmployeePPCI',EmployeePPCI);
nlapiLogExecution('AUDIT', 'Potentional Problem', 'Email Sent');
}
I have problem now because nlapiMergeRecord is deprecated and it wont work. But i really cant find any working example online for hours... The most important part here is actually body of this email that has to be sent. In this case it is productcodehtml or mergeValuesPPCI.NLPRODUCTCODE.
This is how my template looks like :
<p>The QA Release has been submitted by <nlsupplier> for ${transaction.tranId}.</nlsupplier></p>
<p>The following item(s) have a short shelf life:</p>
<nlproductcode></nlproductcode>
Please can you help me with converting this code to new method? How can i connect nlproductcode from template with mergeValuesPPCI.NLPRODUCTCOD from my code?
Thanks in advance!
You can use kotnMergeTemplate as a drop in replacement for nlapiMergeRecord
e.g.:
kotnMergeTemplate(65, 'purchaseorder', poID, null, null, mergeValuesPPCI);
the nlobjEmailMerger does not take custom values so you'd have to post process the results. Again you can look at the example in my script where you'd get the merged string and then run:
var oldCustFieldPatt = /<(nl[^ >]+)>(\s*<\/\1>)?/ig;
content = content.replace(oldCustFieldPatt, function(a,m){
return mergeValuesPPCI[m.toUpperCase()] || mergeValuesPPCI[m.toLowerCase()] || '';
});
You can use the new nlapiCreateEmailMerger(templateId)
First you need to create your email template in netsuite and get the internal id.
Then:
Use nlapiCreateEmailMerger(templateId) to create an nlobjEmailMerger object.
var emailMerger = nlapiCreateEmailMerger(templateId);
Use the nlobjEmailMerger.merge() method to perform the mail merge.
var mergeResult = emailMerger.merge();
Use the nlobjMergeResult methods to obtain the e-mail distribution’s subject and body in string format.
var emailBody = mergeResult.getBody();
Send your email
nlapiSendEmail(senderInternalId, 'receiver#email.com','subject',emailBody, null, null, null);
Good luck!
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.

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');
