NSC | View XML Representation of a Record

Dec 23, 2021 2:35AM edited Apr 25, 2023 7:39PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 2 comments

Any record in NetSuite has an XML representation.

To view this, append &xml=T to the URL in the address bar when viewing the record.

Sales Order in Normal View:

Sales Order in XML View:

The information contained in the XML document version of the record can be useful, especially for NetSuite Administrators and Developers who deal with SuiteScript, Advanced PDF/HTML Templates, etc.

One usage example is checking the Internal IDs of Sublists in the record. Do this by searching for "machine name".

With this, 3 Sublist IDs are found: promotions, paymentevent, and item.

Note: Some elements in the markup may not be supported/officially supported in some of the NetSuite features that you are working on.
