Search for existing customer - SuiteTalk

edited Dec 2, 2019 3:06PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 2 comments

I just started to write a suitetalk application using C#. Before I create a new customer, I want to check whether the customer already exist in the system by comparing the masterID (from our legacy system) which is a custom field (MasterID – Integer), what would be the best practice to do that? I assume I have to use CustomerBasicSearch but then how can I pass the masterID to compare. Basically I would like to know how to get/search customer by passing a value into the custom fields.

Also, I cannot use externalID since I have other ID needed to be imported from our legacy system.

Howdy, Stranger!
