Search by Posting Period returns too many records

edited May 29, 2020 8:56PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 1 comment

When I do a transaction search in the NetSuite web UI with the following criteria, NetSuite returns two transactions and their corresponding Sales Order Item records.  This is correct.
type=Sales Order
period=July 2005

However, when I post a request with the same search criteria via the Web Service API (see below) I get back all transactions including those for my July 2005 posting period (ID = 79).  I only want transactions for this one period (July 2005) not all of them. 

Am I doing something wrong?  Has anyone else seen this issue?

Howdy, Stranger!
