NetSuite SuiteTalk API - Get Inventory Details - netsuite

Question

I'm using the SuiteTalk (API) service for NetSuite to retrieve a list of Assemblies. I need to load the InventoryDetails fields on the results to view the serial/lot numbers assigned to the items. This is the current code that I'm using, but the results still show those fields to come back as NULL, although I can see the other fields for the AssemblyBuild object. How do I get the inventory details (serials/lot#'s) to return on a transaction search?
public static List<AssemblyBuildResult> Get()
{
var listAssemblyBuilds = new List<AssemblyBuildResult>();
var service = Service.Context();
var ts = new TransactionSearch();
var tsb = new TransactionSearchBasic();
var sfType = new SearchEnumMultiSelectField
{
#operator = SearchEnumMultiSelectFieldOperator.anyOf,
operatorSpecified = true,
searchValue = new string[] { "_assemblyBuild" }
};
tsb.type = sfType;
ts.basic = tsb;
ts.inventoryDetailJoin = new InventoryDetailSearchBasic();
// perform the search
var response = service.search(ts);
response.pageSizeSpecified = true;
// Process response
if (response.status.isSuccess)
{
// Process the records returned in the response
// Get more records with pagination
if (response.totalRecords > 0)
{
for (var x = 1; x <= response.totalPages; x++)
{
var records = response.recordList;
foreach (var t in records)
{
var ab = (AssemblyBuild) t;
listAssemblyBuilds.Add(GetAssemblyBuildsResult(ab));
}
if (response.pageIndex < response.totalPages)
{
response = service.searchMoreWithId(response.searchId, x + 1);
}
}
}
}
// Parse and return NetSuite WorkOrder into assembly WorkOrderResult list
return listAssemblyBuilds;
}

After much pain and suffering, I was able to solve this problem with the following code:
/// <summary>
/// Returns List of AssemblyBuilds from NetSuite
/// </summary>
/// <returns></returns>
public static List<AssemblyBuildResult> Get(string id = "", bool getDetails = false)
{
// Object to populate and return results
var listAssemblyBuilds = new List<AssemblyBuildResult>();
// Initiate Service and SavedSearch (TransactionSearchAdvanced)
var service = Service.Context();
var tsa = new TransactionSearchAdvanced
{
savedSearchScriptId = "customsearch_web_assemblysearchmainlist"
};
// Filter by ID if specified
if (id != "")
{
tsa.criteria = new TransactionSearch()
{
basic = new TransactionSearchBasic()
{
internalId = new SearchMultiSelectField
{
#operator = SearchMultiSelectFieldOperator.anyOf,
operatorSpecified = true,
searchValue = new[] {
new RecordRef() {
type = RecordType.assemblyBuild,
typeSpecified = true,
internalId = id
}
}
}
}
};
}
// Construct custom columns to return
var tsr = new TransactionSearchRow();
var tsrb = new TransactionSearchRowBasic();
var orderIdCols = new SearchColumnSelectField[1];
var orderIdCol = new SearchColumnSelectField();
orderIdCols[0] = orderIdCol;
tsrb.internalId = orderIdCols;
var tranDateCols = new SearchColumnDateField[1];
var tranDateCol = new SearchColumnDateField();
tranDateCols[0] = tranDateCol;
tsrb.tranDate = tranDateCols;
var serialNumberCols = new SearchColumnStringField[1];
var serialNumberCol = new SearchColumnStringField();
serialNumberCols[0] = serialNumberCol;
tsrb.serialNumbers = serialNumberCols;
// Perform the Search
tsr.basic = tsrb;
tsa.columns = tsr;
var response = service.search(tsa);
// Process response
if (response.status.isSuccess)
{
var searchRows = response.searchRowList;
if (searchRows != null && searchRows.Length >= 1)
{
foreach (SearchRow t in searchRows)
{
var transactionRow = (TransactionSearchRow)t;
listAssemblyBuilds.Add(GetAssemblyBuildsResult(transactionRow, getDetails));
}
}
}
// Parse and return NetSuite WorkOrder into assembly WorkOrderResult list
return listAssemblyBuilds;
}
private static string GetAssemblyBuildLotNumbers(string id)
{
var service = Service.Context();
var serialNumbers = "";
var tsa = new TransactionSearchAdvanced
{
savedSearchScriptId = "customsearch_web_assemblysearchlineitems"
};
service.searchPreferences = new SearchPreferences { bodyFieldsOnly = false };
tsa.criteria = new TransactionSearch()
{
basic = new TransactionSearchBasic()
{
internalId = new SearchMultiSelectField
{
#operator = SearchMultiSelectFieldOperator.anyOf,
operatorSpecified = true,
searchValue = new[] {
new RecordRef() {
type = RecordType.assemblyBuild,
typeSpecified = true,
internalId = id
}
}
}
}
};
// Construct custom columns to return
var tsr = new TransactionSearchRow();
var tsrb = new TransactionSearchRowBasic();
var orderIdCols = new SearchColumnSelectField[1];
var orderIdCol = new SearchColumnSelectField();
orderIdCols[0] = orderIdCol;
tsrb.internalId = orderIdCols;
var serialNumberCols = new SearchColumnStringField[1];
var serialNumberCol = new SearchColumnStringField();
serialNumberCols[0] = serialNumberCol;
tsrb.serialNumbers = serialNumberCols;
tsr.basic = tsrb;
tsa.columns = tsr;
var response = service.search(tsa);
if (response.status.isSuccess)
{
var searchRows = response.searchRowList;
if (searchRows != null && searchRows.Length >= 1)
{
foreach (SearchRow t in searchRows)
{
var transactionRow = (TransactionSearchRow)t;
if (transactionRow.basic.serialNumbers != null)
{
return transactionRow.basic.serialNumbers[0].searchValue;
}
}
}
}
return serialNumbers;
}
private static AssemblyBuildResult GetAssemblyBuildsResult(TransactionSearchRow tsr, bool getDetails)
{
if (tsr != null)
{
var assemblyInfo = new AssemblyBuildResult
{
NetSuiteId = tsr.basic.internalId[0].searchValue.internalId,
ManufacturedDate = tsr.basic.tranDate[0].searchValue,
SerialNumbers = tsr.basic.serialNumbers[0].searchValue
};
// If selected, this will do additional NetSuite queries to get detailed data (slower)
if (getDetails)
{
// Look up Lot Number
assemblyInfo.LotNumber = GetAssemblyBuildLotNumbers(tsr.basic.internalId[0].searchValue.internalId);
}
return assemblyInfo;
}
return null;
}
What I learned about pulling data from NetSuite:
Using SavedSearches is the best method to pull data that doesn't automatically come through in the API objects
It is barely supported
Don't specify an ID on the SavedSearch, specify a criteria in the TransactionSearch to get one record
You will need to specify which columns to actually pull down. NetSuite doesn't just send you the data from a SavedSearch automatically
You cannot view data in a SavedSearch that contains a Grouping
In the Saved Search, use the Criteria Main Line = true/false to read data from the main record (top of UI screen), and line items (bottom of screen)
