SS2.0 How do I filter using the serial number from a SalesOrder for N/search?

edited Jun 2, 2025 2:44PM in Ask A Guru 9 comments

Hi all,

Working on a large script and at the moment I'm trying to get the serial number of items on the Sales Orders to be used as one of the filters for a search.

I'm not sure how the filters are targeted, pretty sure it's by the field ID, but what would the field id be for the serial number? Can I join through to the correct field? I tried to do item.inventorydetail.issueinventorynumber but that didn't work. Though I'm not sure if that's because it's just wrong or I can't join at all.

I did also look at a sales order in xml (add '&xml=t' to the end of your url) and couldn't see any useful fields to target.
