Name not ID returned using group in search
I am trying to accumulate some totals from Invoice transaction and then update a custom record with these totals. The problem that I am having is that when I group by postingperiod, it returns the description for the posting period and not the internal id. I need the internal id to search for my custom record. When I don't group by posting period it returns the internal id.
This is my search without group by:
var columns = new Array(); columns[0] = new nlobjSearchColumn('item'); columns[1] = new nlobjSearchColumn('salesteammember'); columns[2] = new nlobjSearchColumn('postingperiod'); var filters = new Array(); filters[0] = new nlobjSearchFilter( 'mainline', null, 'is', 'F', null); var searchresults = nlapiSearchRecord( 'invoice', null, filters, columns); for ( var i = 0; searchresults != null && i < searchresults.length ; i++ ) { var item = searchresults[i].getValue('item'); var salesrep = searchresults[i].getValue('salesteammember'); var period = searchresults[i].getValue('postingperiod'); nlapiLogExecution ('DEBUG', 'Invoice: ', 'item: ' + item + ' salesrep: ' + salesrep + ' period: ' + period); } 0
