I am trying to add a search filter to a search in SuiteScript. What I want to filter is the date a custom record is created. The search is off a job (or Project) record, but the custom record is connected to the job (this needs to be off the job for other reasons).
In the UI this would like like: CustomRecordName : Date Created (and as a filter you would select the filter you want, such as within this fiscal quarter).
I know the syntax:
new nlobjSearchFilter(fieldId, join, operator, value1, value2);
I went to the custom record and the "Date Created" fieldId is 'created'. My Custom record's id is: customrecord301.
Here is what I have for my specific case:
filters.push(new nlobjSearchFilter('created', 'customrecord301', 'within', 'thisfiscalquarter'));
I get the following error:
An nlobjSearchFilter contains an invalid join ID, or is not in proper syntax: created.
What am I missing/doing wrong?
The join parameter should be the ID of the field you are joining through instead of the record type you are joining to. Instead of "customrecord301", you need the ID of the list/record field on the Project (job) record.
You don't need to put any value in 'join' until and unless you are executing a joined search.
Please try this
filters.push(new nlobjSearchFilter('created', null, 'within', 'thisfiscalquarter'));

I'm trying to make Saved Search which has Transaction fields that I want to join any other type's fields.
When I make Criteria, Result in Saved Search, I realized there is limitation to bring certain field.
I know the Type & Internal ID, so I used formula(numeric) and insert custom_item.realamount(This is actually what I want to know). But this wasn't show a value.
How can I make these two types to join each other?
There is no field in Netsuite called custom_item If you are trying to join a custom item field on a transaction search formula field then you'd be looking at a join like
{item.custitem_uniquepart_}
Where _uniquepart_ is either an integer if the custom field was created without a custom id value or it's the value entered for the id field of the custom field.
In MS Access 2010, I have two tables - one with Candidates and one with Package Actions. The Actions are associated with the Candidates via the CandidateID field, which is an autonumber in the Candidates table. The Actions table has a date field for each action. I have a field in the Candidates field that I would like to display the action type of the most recent action associated with that particular candidate, but can't seem to figure out how to do it. I've tried implementing a subquery as a default value:
SELECT TOP 1 ActionT.ActionType FROM ActionT WHERE
(((ActionT.CandidateID)=13))
ORDER BY ActionT.DateCompleted DESC;
Obviously, this query on its own only returns the most recent action for candidate 13 but ideally I would like to replace the =13 with =CandidateID but I can't even get the field to populate with the result of the query as is. I've also tried using DLookup but got an error while trying to make that the default value. I've also tried using the button "Modify Lookups", pasting the query and the DLookup directly into the cell, and trying to change the type of the field from "Text" to "Calculated", all to no avail.
Novice MS Access user here, so I appreciate any extra explanations y'all may have.
Thanks In Advance.
EDIT:
Just to be clear, I'm not looking for a query, per se. I want to know how I can make the result of my query above always be the value of a field in the candidate table. (If my code above needs corrections, I'm open to that, but that isn't really my question.)
Example: Candidate A has several actions in theActionTable associated with him. They are ResumeRecieved, ResumeReviewed, and Interviewed. The date associated with Interviewed is the most recent, therefore in the CandidateTable, the status for Candidate A should be "Interviewed." We then decide to extend an offer, so we add an action to the ActionTable "OfferExtended."
The Status field in the CandidateTable for Candidate A should automaticaaly update to read "OfferExtended"
Inside your main SELECT STATEMENT, you need to have a nested SELECT STATEMENT descendingly ordered by DateCompleted to get the most recent DateCompleted for each CondidateId.
Below should do the trick for you:
SELECT con.Id,
con.Name,
(SELECT TOP 1 ActionType FROM ActionT
WHERE CandidateId = con.Id ORDER BY DateCompleted DESC) AS ActionType
FROM Candidates AS con
I have a requirement where i should display the details(values) of the custom record in the suitelet sublist.
Now i have to create a custom Record with two fields. One field would be bill payment and other field will have list of bills related to bill payment.
When i create a custom record what should be my field vaues's type?
Appreciate any help.
I would suggest to keep one field of type List/Record and Record option to "Transaction", and second field of type Multiple Select with record option to "Transaction".
Since, the fields can hold reference to any transactions I would recommend writing a user event script which would fire on create/edit and validate that the fields value are always correct.
Basically, what I need to do is get at the Billing Transactions:Internal Id field in a script for searching.
I have a saved Transaction search, where type = Purchase Order. I need to get the PO internalid AND the Billing Transaction: Internal Id. The saved search is fine.
Because in script the nlapiSearchRecord can only get one record, and I have over 9,000 rows, I am doing a loop where I am adding a filter of internalid >= the last internalId of the previous execution (1,000 rows). However, I need the filter for this search to be on the Billing Transaction:Internal Id NOT the PO Internal ID.
What "field" can I use in the nlobjSearchFilter creation to get the Billing Transaction:Internal Id?
Using the NetSuite Records Browser, if you check the Search Filters section for Purchase Orders, there is a filter there called billingtransaction that you can use. There is also a Search Column of the same name, so you can also retrieve that in your results.
Another option, if you have a saved search and are comfortable with your script executing saved searches, you can simply pass the search ID to nlapiSearchRecord or nlapiCreateSearch to execute the saved search or modify it then execute it, respectively. We typically avoid doing this in our code because any Administrator can modify a Saved Search, even Private ones, but it is an option nonetheless.
For our Employee records within NetSuite, we have a custom field called "Employee Number" with an ID of custentity1. I've created a workflow that will automatically create a new employee record and populate various fields but the one I'm having difficulty with is the Employee Number field. All I want to do is to grab the largest employee number there is out of all of the Employee records and add one to it for the new employee record.
The Employee Number field is a free-form text field so I know I'll have to use TO_NUMBER, but anytime I try and reference {custentity1} I keep getting an error saying that field is not found.
UPDATE: I've created a new custom field for our employee records called "Employee No." with an ID of custentity_employeenumber. I've also created a javascript file with the following:
function getMaxEmployeeNumber(){
var empNumber = nlobjSearchColumn('custentity_employeenumber', null, 'max');
return empNumber;
}
But how to do I get this to work with my records?
NetSuite does have an auto-numbering mechanism built in to its native functionality that most of our customers use for this exact purpose. Is there a special reason this functionality is not being leveraged? This functionality is accessible at Setup > Company > Auto-generated Numbers.
I do not work much with workflows, so I do not know if this same functionality is possible there, but here is how I would solve this in SuiteScript:
Create User Event script that is executed on Before Submit Create event for Customer records
Create a Customer search that has a Search Column for custentity1 with a summary type of max
new nlobjSearchColumn('custentity1', null, 'max');
Running this search should give you 1 result, which is the maximum customer number. You can then just add 1 to it.
You could create a similar Saved Search in the UI to see what the result set looks like.
This will only really work if the field is a Number, not Text. I would suggest changing the field to an Integer field if you know that it will always be a number. This may clear out existing data, so first you could export all customers and their number to Excel and then do a CSV import after changing the field.
How are you looking for the last employee in a workflow?
I know this can be done in js:
Search employees - returns max 1000
For number of employees give me the custentity1 of the last one - nlapiLookupfield('employee',employees[employees.length],'custentity1')
Add +1 and save on new record
If you use this search column
nlobjSearchColumn('custentity1', null, 'max');
You can also sort it in decreasing value so that the first result is always the max. Something like
nlobjSearchColumn('custentity1', null, 'max').setSort(true);
