Email template netsuite - netsuite

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!

How to get a list of internal id in netsuite

Is there a proper way to get a list of all internal id in a Netsuite Record?
var record = nlapiLoadRecord('customer', 1249);
var string = JSON.stringify(record);
nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG', 'string ', string );
I can get most of the id using json string but i am looking for a proper way. It prints all the data including internal id. Is there any Api or any other way ?
I actually developed a Chrome extension that displays this information in a convenient pop-up.
I ran into the same issue of nlobjRecord not stringifying properly, and what I ended up doing was manually requesting and parsing the same AJAX page NS uses internally when you call nlapiLoadRecord()
var id = nlapiGetRecordId();
var type = nlapiGetRecordType();
var url = '/app/common/scripting/nlapihandler.nl';
var payload = '<nlapiRequest type="nlapiLoadRecord" id="' + id + '" recordType="' + type + '"/>';
var response = nlapiRequestURL(url, payload);
nlapiLogExecution('debug', response.getBody());
You can have a look at the full source code on GitHub
https://github.com/michoelchaikin/netsuite-field-explorer/
The getAllFields() function will return an array of all field names, standard and custom, for a given record.
var customer = nlapiLoadRecord('customer', 5069);
var fields = customer.getAllFields();
fields.forEach(function(field) {
nlapiLogExecution('debug', field);
})

Netsuite Email Merge Error (SSS_MERGER_ERROR_OCCURRED)

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.

Display of "is not a valid internal id" in Netsuite Suitescript 1.0 when creating a Search on a particular record

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;
}

Netsuite Userevent Script

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');

Netsuite Past Due Reminder using SuiteScript

The script is complete! Thanks for all those who replied :)
/*
* Author: Laura Micek
* Date: 5-13-15
* Purpose: This script creates a saved search in order to pull the information needed to send out an email to alert customers that
* their account is past due. The saved searched makes sure that the customer is 11 days or more past due, checks to see if they are
* exempt from past due reminders, and that their account balance is greater than 1. Once the saved search runs, it will loop thru the
* customers that meet these requirements and it will use the days past due to determine if an email needs to be sent. An email will
* only be sent if the days past due are equal to 11 or if the days past due minus 11, modded by 8 equals 0 which means that it has
* been 8 days since the last notification.

You don't need scripting to achieve this simple requirement. All you need is a saved search and a workflow. The key thing here is you need to come up with the right criteria on your saved search. Once you have the right saved search you set your workflow's Initiation to run on Scheduled and choose the frequency. Use the Send Email action to send the email to the customers and you are good to go.
Also, from the saved search you can join the customer record to the Messages Field so you will have the ability to check when was the last email sent.
You might also need a Email Template.
If you're going to use a Scheduled Script you will need to collect the records you want to inspect. If these are Customer records then be sure to setup searchFilters and searchColumns to come back and then collect the results.
// set Customer record filters and columns to return
var filters = new Array();
filters.push( new nlobjSearchFilter('isActive', null, 'is', 'F') );
filters.push( new nlobjSearchFilter('someotherfield', null, 'isempty') );
var cust_cols = new Array();
cust_cols.push( new nlobjSearchColumn('companyname') );
cust_cols.push( new nlobjSearchColumn('someotherfield') );
// now get the records that fit your filters and return the cols specified
overdue_customers = nlapiSearchRecord('customer', null, searchfilter, columns);
I generally like to move my content/body creating code into separate functions but it's really not that important depending on how complicated your script is. For instance I have a couple of scripts that do a lot of processing that have to send some information on a record by record basis but also sends "digest" type emails to others. Think customers and account managers. While it was a pain to set up everything up to handle both cases having a email content generating function was much saner and easier to read.
Though there are many approaches you could use for this, I think your scheduled script approach will work just fine. You can make the logic for identifying which emails to send by offloading the 8-day calculation to your search filters, instead of manually trying to compute. I would have a filter in my search of something like:
new nlobjSearchFilter('custentity_dayssincelastemailed', null, 'before', 'previousOneWeek');
See the Help article titled Search Date Filters for more details on what you can do with Dates in filters.
After that, I believe you should be able to create an Email Template and utilize that in your code to set the title and the boilerplate of the email body.
Where I'm a little less certain, and what may be more difficult for you, is your A/R Aging attachment. Not sure I've worked with attaching statements.
