New to NetSuite | REST API: Transforming Records
In NetSuite, you can create subsequent records based off parent records through the UI. For example, from a Sales Order, you can create Item Fulfillments, Bills, Payments, Invoices, or Return Authorizations by clicking the respective buttons. This feature, known as “record transformation,” can also be achieved via REST API.
Example Transformation with REST API:
Operation: POST
URL: <account_id>.suitetalk.api.netsuite.com/services/rest/record/v1/<origin_record_type>/<origin_record_internal_id>/!transform/<new_record_type>
{
"entity": 4478,
"item": {
"items": [
{
"line": 1,
"item": {"id": "21578"},
"quantity": 10,
"taxcode":1171,
"location":47,
"amount": 2000
}
]
}
}
