I have a quirky issue with NetSuite. On a Sales Order which has 'Enable Line Item Shipping' checked, meaning Multiple Shipping Routes are Enabled, the shipping address goes on the item line level.
via SuiteScript, I can access the address on the line level IF it is selected from the address book.
However, when that address is a custom address that is entered on the fly, I have no idea how to get to those fields in a beforeSubmit function.
Any pointers would be much appreciated!
You can get the selected address details using either or below two
nlapiGetLineItemValue('item','shipaddress',1)
nlapiGetLineItemText('item','shipaddress',1)
The above would only give you the id, or label of address record. But, would be hard to access the address details on the client side.
However, using sub record APIs you can access the record on server-side in user event script using sub record APIs:
var record = nlapiLoadRecord('customer', nlapiGetFieldValue('entity'),{recordmode: 'dynamic'});
//loop through all the addressbooks
if(record.getLineItemValue('addressbook', 'internalid', i) === nlapiGetLineItemValue('item','shipaddress', 1))
record.selectLineItem('addressbook', 2);
//change the sub record value
var subrecord = record.editCurrentLineItemSubrecord('addressbook', 'addressbookaddress');
subrecord.setFieldValue('attention', 'Accounts Payable');
subrecord.commit();
record.commitLineItem('addressbook');
var x = nlapiSubmitRecord(record);
Figured it out! For those lost souls who venture here in the future:
Below is a function you can use on a sales order line level to loop through the custom addresses and pull out specific information.
Hopefully, this will be added to the NetSuite documentation at some point.
Note that I was doing this specifically for the state information. If you want to see what other fields are available, add &xml=T to the end of a submitted sales order URL and search for iladdrbook in the resuling xml structure. It is actually treated like a line item.
function getCustomAddressFromLineItem(soLineNum) {
nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG', 'Custom Address', 'Custom Address: Line # ' + soLineNum);
var addressid = nlapiGetLineItemValue('item','shipaddress',soLineNum); // get the id of the custom address
var customAddressesLineCount = nlapiGetLineItemCount('iladdrbook'); // get custom address book count
nlapiLogExecution('debug', 'test', 'addressid: ' + addressid + ' -- linecount: ' + customAddressesLineCount);
for (var i = 1; i <=customAddressesLineCount; i++)
{
var addressinternalid = nlapiGetLineItemValue('iladdrbook','iladdrinternalid',i); // get internal id of custom address book
if (addressinternalid == addressid) // match it with the id of custom address being set
{
var addr = nlapiGetLineItemValue('iladdrbook','iladdrshipaddr1',i);
var customState = nlapiGetLineItemValue('iladdrbook','iladdrshipstate',i); // get your state
nlapiLogExecution('debug', 'test', 'address: ' + addr + ' -- state: ' + customState);
return customState;
}
}
}

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 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 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.

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');
The script is complete! Thanks for all those who replied :)

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.
