How can i get tax codes from NetSuite? - netsuite

Question

Now i have 2 ways to get tax code from NetSuite and these are advantage/disadvantage of each
1/ The first way:
I get all tax code from saleTaxItem list and save in database, with this way, it's easy and fast.
But we must to check, employees/vendors has permission to use it. in result, SalesTaxItem object don't have any property refer to employees/vendors and Employee/Vendor object don't have refer key to SalesTaxItem too.
So, how can i know employee/vendor has permission to use taxcode with this way?
This is structure of SalesTaxItem Object:
SalesTaxItem Object
(
[itemId] => Item Name
[displayName] =>
[description] =>
[rate] => 7.25%
[taxType] =>
[taxAgency] => RecordRef Object
(
[internalId] => -100
[externalId] =>
[type] =>
[name] => New Name
)
[purchaseAccount] =>
[saleAccount] =>
[isInactive] =>
[effectiveFrom] =>
[validUntil] =>
[eccode] =>
[reverseCharge] =>
[parent] =>
[exempt] =>
[isDefault] =>
[excludeFromTaxReports] =>
[available] =>
[export] =>
[taxAccount] => RecordRef Object
(
[internalId] => 37
[externalId] =>
[type] =>
[name] => New Name
)
[county] => Country Name
[city] =>
[state] => CA
[zip] => ,95646,96120
[nexusCountry] =>
[internalId] => -111
[externalId] =>
[nullFieldList] =>
)
2/ The second way:
I get employees list, vendors list. And foreach those lists to get taxcodes with function getSelectValueResult of NetsuiteService object.
With this way, with each employee/vendor we need call function getSelectValueResult to get taxcodes list of that employee/vendor. Althought we have 10 tax codes, but we need call function 1000 times (if we have 1000 employee/vendor).
Advantage of this way , we can save reference keys [taxcodes, employee], [taxcodes, vendor], it help check employee/vendor has permission to use tax code.
Disadvantage : slow and waste our time, and get duplicate tax code records.
This is structure of GetSelectValueResult Object when call function getSelectValueResult for each employee/vendor
[getSelectValueResult] => GetSelectValueResult Object
(
[status] => Status Object
(
[statusDetail] =>
[isSuccess] => 1
)
[totalRecords] => 2
[totalPages] => 1
[baseRefList] => BaseRefList Object
(
[baseRef] => Array
(
[0] => RecordRef Object
(
[internalId] => 25821
[externalId] =>
[type] => platformCore:RecordRef
[name] => My tax code name 1
)
[1] => RecordRef Object
(
[internalId] => 27812
[externalId] =>
[type] => platformCore:RecordRef
[name] => My tax code name 2
)
)
)
)
Which one i should to use ?
I think first way is good, but how can i check permission of employee/vendor when use taxcode?
Thank you very much.

Answer 1

Since Individual Tax codes does not have permission, you can get the roles of the employees separately and store it in a separate table. So you can join the roles whenever you need.
