HOW TO RETURN A VALUE FROM A BACKEND SUITELET TO CLIENT SCRIPT?

Client script executes in the logged in user's role. This can create errors while trying to access records for which logged in user doesn't have required permission. The solution is to call a backend suitelet from the client script. If you need to use that value in client script for setting values or giving alert, then you can return the value from suitelet back to client script.

Eg: On field change of location field in sales order, you want to load the location record and get some values but if the logged in user doesn't have access to location record, then you should not load the location record from client script as it will throw error due to in-sufficient permission.

You can use nlapirequesturl to call backend suitelet and from suitelet after searching the values, write it back using response.write(values) where values is any variable. See the code below for more detail:




client script:

var loc_id =  nlapiGetFieldValue('location');
     
         
           
var suiteletUrl = nlapiResolveURL('SUITELET', 'scriptid', 'script deployment id'); //Get the Suitelet URL
         
              var response = nlapiRequestURL(suiteletUrl+ '&loc_id=' +loc_id);
           
              if(response.getBody())
    {
              var address = response.getBody();
           
           
           
              nlapiSetFieldValue('custpage_address', address);
           
           
           
              }


suitelet script:

 var loc_id = request.getParameter('loc_id');

if(loc_id)
{



var load_loc = nlapiLoadRecord('location', loc_id );
   
     var addrs = load_loc.getFieldValue('addrtext');
   
   
   
      response.write(addrs);
}

Work Around the 1000 Row Limit Returned by Saved Searches in Netsuite

nlapiSearchRecord can return only upto 1000 rows. But there is a work around to retrieve more than 1000 rows. This can be done by first sorting the result based on internal id and then using while loop and use concat method to get all results by internalid number as a filter inside the while loop. The sample code is given below: var filters = new Array(); filters[1] = new nlobjSearchFilter('mainline',null,'is','T'); var columns = new Array(); columns[0] = new nlobjSearchColumn('internalid').setSort();  //sort the result based on internalid var results = nlapiSearchRecord('transaction',null,filters,columns);  //search record var completeResultSet = results;  //copy the result while(results.length == 1000){  //if there are more than 1000 records      var lastId = results[999].getValue('internalid');  //note the last record retrieved      filters[2] = new nlobjSearchFilter('internalidnumber',null,'greaterthan',lastId);  //cre

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.

Understand Core Technology behind SuiteScript 2.0

As a netsuite solution provider we want to share, The core of  SuiteScript 2.0 came from the RequireJs and CommonJs background. RequireJS is a JavaScript file and module loader. It is optimized for in-browser use, but it can be used in other JavaScript environment. Using a modular script loader like RequireJS will improve the speed and quality of your code. Commonjs  defines a module format. Unfortunately, it was defined without giving browsers equal footing to other JavaScript environments. Because of that, there are CommonJS specification proposals for Transport formats and an asynchronous require. In NetSuite Customization and netsuite implementation    RequireJS tries to keep with the spirit of CommonJS, with using string names to refer to dependencies, and to avoid modules defining global objects, but still allow coding a module format that works well natively in the browser. RequireJS implements the Asynchronous Module Definition (formerly Transport/C) proposal. D
