Setting tranId in a Sales Order using PHP/SOAP

edited Dec 2, 2019 6:25PM in SuiteCloud / Customization

Hi,

As I understand, "tranId" in a sales order maps to "Order #". Currently, all sales order order numbers are being auto-incremented by netsuite.

When I set tranId = "2111" for example, I do not get an error, but NetSuite seems to ignore the request and uses the next auto-increment number as the "Order #" for the Sales Order.

Is there a special way to set this? I do not mind using another field. I am already mapping our internal order ids to externalId, but I want to show them in the NS interface as well.

Thanks

Howdy, Stranger!
