Resolve Netsuite Scripting Error "Cannot read property "length" from null"

One of the common errors while searching a record using script is  "Cannot read property length from null". This error occurs when you try to get length of search record object which returns a null value.
Length method can be used only if search record API returns some value. If it returns null, then length method should not be used.

For eg. below code will return a error if search record gives no result-

var results = nlapiSearchRecord('salesorder', null, filters, columns); 

nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG', 'search results', results.length);


To remove this error add a condition to check if result is null or not

var results = nlapiSearchRecord('salesorder', null, filters, columns);

if(results!=null)

{

      nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG', 'search results', results.length);
}

USING CASE (IF AND ELSE) IN NETSUITE SAVED SEARCH- NETSUITE ACADEMY

While creating a saved search in Netsuite, you want encounter a situation where you want have to display a value depending on some conditions. Such scenarios can be implemented by using sql CASE syntax in the formula field. For eg, in a transaction search, if you want to display a value depending on the transaction type, then you can add a formula text field in coulmn and use CASE as given below: CASE WHEN {type}='Invoice' THEN '0' WHEN {type}='Journal' THEN {status}  ELSE '' END The above field will display 0 when type is Invoice. It will display status of the transaction when type is Journal and for other transaction type, it will be blank.

Calling User Event Script from another User Event

Image
As a netsuite solution provider User event scripts are executed on the NetSuite server. They are executed when users perform certain actions on records, such as create, load, update, copy, delete, or submit. Most standard NetSuite records and custom record types support user event scripts. The Most important thing is User event scripts cannot be executed by other user event scripts or by workflows with a Context of User Event Script. In other words for netsuite customizatio n, you cannot chain user event scripts. You can execute a user event script from a call within a scheduled script, a portlet script, or a Suitelet. I will help you to show how User event can be called from another User event Script using Suitelet. As we all know we cannot chain User event. Work around to this is to create a Suitelet that has the same logic as that of first User Event Script. Consider the use case given below: In NetSuite Implementation Create or edit an Inbound Shipment record and upon s...
