Finding Records and Subrecords in SuiteScript

The SuiteScript Records Browser allows developers to find both records and subrecords efficiently, ensuring smooth scripting and integration in NetSuite. This tool is essential for accessing necessary IDs and details for SuiteScript development.

How Do You Find a Record or Subrecord?

To locate a record or subrecord, follow these steps:

1. Click the appropriate letter at the top of the Records Browser.

   • The left pane displays record names starting with your selected letter, while the center pane shows details for the first record in the list.

2. Click the name of the desired record in the left pane.

   • This action will populate the center pane with the relevant record details.

Additionally, you can access subrecord pages from their parent records. Each summary field for a subrecord on a record page links directly to the corresponding subrecord page. For instance, on the Sales Order page, fields such as billingaddress and shippingaddress will provide links to their respective address subrecord pages. Clicking the summary link in the Type column will navigate you to the appropriate subrecord page.

Best Practices

• Always reference the SuiteScript Records Browser for the most accurate record IDs.
• Ensure you understand which fields are read-only and which can be set using SuiteScript by checking the NetSuite UI.
• If a field cannot be set through the UI, it should also not be set via SuiteScript.
