Is there a way to get list of all record types - both standard and custom (employee, lead, customer etc.) and their fields using APIs (SOAP or REST) in Netsuite?
List of all supported records through Suitescript is available at https://system.netsuite.com/help/helpcenter/en_US/RecordsBrowser/2012_2/index.html
List of all supported records through Websrevices is available at
http://tellsaqib.github.io/NSPHP-Doc/class_record.html
For getting List of all field available for a particular record type use getAllFields() and getAllLineItemFields(group)
http://dreamxtream.wordpress.com/2012/01/18/getting-all-fields/
For getting list of Custom Field using Webservices use
http://tellsaqib.github.io/NSPHP-Doc/class_net_suite_service.html#a628c9eb07887e8a540481850696f7a0e
The answer given by Saqib is correct. If you want to show them in a select field you could use this function.
var form = nlapiCreateForm('New Form');
form.addField('custpage_field', 'select', 'Select A Record Type', '-123'); //Here -123 is the internal id for the record types given to the source for the addField function.
You could get all the internal id's of the record types you could create from this link(in the List/Record Type IDs).

I could get record and parent object details using lookup fields. But I am not able to get parent object record type.
Example : I am trying to get contact details and parent(company) details.
search.lookupFields({
type: 'contact',
id: context.recordId,
columns: ['entityid', 'customer.entityid', 'customer.companyname']
});
It returns Contact entityid and customer - entityid & companyname.
I want customer type too. It can be Prospect, Lead, Customer or any valid types,
for partner or vendor I have to specify partner.entityid or vendor.entityid.
Anyway to identify which parent company contact has
something like this customer.recordtype
In NetSuite, the term "Customer" is used for both a record type and a stage within the Customer type - which can be a little confusing.
Lead, Prospect and Customer are all stages, and this can be returned using customer.stage as a value in the columns parameter. When you do this, it will be returned as an array of objects with value and text properties, so you would need to reference it like <varName>['customer.stage'][0].value. This only works if you know the type is customer - otherwise the stage would be empty.
If the problem you're facing is actually to get the record type - IE: customer, vendor, partner etc, then you can instead use company.type.
look up stage
search.lookupFields({
type: 'contact',
id: context.recordId,
columns: ['entityid', 'customer.entityid', 'customer.companyname', 'customer.stage']
});
Have you tried looking for the customer.stage field?
If you load the record, you can use the
recordObj.getRecordType()
apicall in suitescript 1.0, and
record.type
apicall in Suitescript 2.0.
Having said that, I was looking for information on the field so that I wouldn't have to load the whole record. Perhaps available through nlapiLookupField (and its equivalent in 2.0).
var recTypeId = nlapiLookupField('contact', 'xxxxx', 'company.type', false)
This returns 'vendor' or 'customer' depending on what the contact refers to. Presumably after determining this, you can lookup vendor fields by specifying 'vendor' as the type, or the field as 'vendor.field'
I am using the Acumatica REST endpoint https://companyName/AcumaticaERP/entity/Default/6.00.001 in my application
I am using the URL https://companyName/AcumaticaERP/entity/Default/6.00.001/StockItem?$filter=InventoryID eq '123456'&$expand=WarehouseDetails to fetch info about a Product and to get complete warehouse details
My query is how to use multiple product id's in single request, so that to get info about multiple products in single request to Acumatica Erp REST Url.
You can either use a generic GET request in order to have a list of all the records in that entity, you can append a specific ID at the end to select a single entity or you can use filters in order to restrict that list.
you might want to take a look at the following article from the Acumatica Help section:
Parameters for Retrieving Records :
https://help-2018r2.acumatica.com/(W(3))/Help?ScreenId=ShowWiki&pageid=c5e2f36a-0971-4b33-b127-3c3fe14106ff
but basically you will need to use different condition than "eq" in order to match more value. Even though there is no "in" condition
Is this possible to set or override the internalid of a custom record type ?
The internalid is self generated, but I want to try to set inernalid value from a cvs field.
I do not believe you can override the internalid of any record instance, even a custom one. You can, however, use the externalid field that I believe every record has if you want to specify a "secondary" identifier for the record.
You cannot override the internal ID of a record. As mentioned in a previous response to your question, you can (and should) set the external ID field on the NetSuite records to equal the primary key of the data being imported.
On future imports that update NetSuite data, you simply map the key field of the imported data to the external ID field in NetSuite. You can ignore the internal ID field on those future imports, as Netsuite will match up the records based upon the external ID.
This is the proper way to do this - I've seen tons of situations where people did not understand the external ID concept, and created huge, long term maintenance issues by not following this simple solution.
OK. Given your feedback, why not create another custom field on the customer record that references the lookup value in the custom record?
The field type should be the same as the field type of the lookup value, with "store value" checkbox unchecked. On the Sourcing and Filtering tab, you specify the custom record type and field to reference. Think of it as a SQL join of sorts between the customer record and custom record.
Then, you should be able to do what you want with 2 getCurrentAttribute tags:
<%= getcurrentattribute('cusomter', 'custentity_mappingid')%>
<%= getcurrentattribute('cusomter', 'custentity_mappingvalue')%>
BTW, your custom field internal IDs look a little odd. They should start with 'custentity', and 'custrecord', respectively. My code above reflects what you'd normally expect from NetSuite.
You can set ExternalId and if you want to get record then you can use callGetRecordByExternalId .
public ReadResponse callGetRecordByExternalId(String externalId, RecordType recordType) throws RemoteException {
return this.callGetRecord(Utils.createRecordRefWithExternalId(externalId, recordType));
}
I am working on the msdynamics connector in C#.net.In the connector i want to retreive the list of entity object name i.e lead,contacts etc.Also i want to retreive there respective fields list.I am working on Vs2010 and used Passport login.
I believe you are looking for the RetrieveAllEntitiesRequest, which returns the metadata for all entities (logical names, attributes, etc).
I have one custom entity in CRM 2011. My requirement is to create a lookup field(say Customer) for this entity like Out of the Box Customer in Case entity which is pointing to both Account and Contact records. How can I create this custom Customer field?
Sadly this is not possible. For custom lookups you have to decide which entity is the target.
In your case, you would have to define two lookups (one for each type). This is by the way the same behavior which is used by the customer lookup. They are only hidden from your eyes.
If you want to see this feature in future versions, you could support these requests on connect:
Custom Composite Lookups (multi-relationship in 1 lookup)
Give me the ability to create a lookup on the 'Customer' entity
Expand the 'Customer' entity to other entities
