Here are some examples to get your creative juices flowing.

  • So after some fiddling, I see that the INVALID_KEY_OR_REF error is because the attribute 'name' is not a valid supported way to search for Categories.. So any ideas how I can search for a Category by its name? Or is the thing to do, just get a list of all the categories and just walk through them in php? In the…

  • In regards to the input sanitization. If the input is valid in Netsuite, Netsuite should sanitize the input for Cybersource. If I am using Netsuite, my goal is to not have to login to Cybersource constantly. So I would prefer Netsuite to just make it work. While some may object to this, I think this is perfectly…

  • What do you mean hack the code? I am not using DM, but from everything I have seen, NS doesn't tell the customer much of anything.. James

  • We are considering using CS with Payer Auth. Same issue here. We can ASK customers to do Payer Auth, but they don't have to. So at the end of the day it is up to us to make a value judgement with their order. What we would want to be able to do is to require customers (probably only international customers) to use Payer…

  • Thanks.. I will incorporate your ideas into my processes.... Having the right process is very important.. However, I think one of the goals for using a integrated solution like Netsuite is to ensure proper checks and balances against human errors and/or theft. For example netsuite has options to restrict committing…
    in Change order after authorization Comment by 3938537 Oct 12, 2011 4:34PM
  • My merchant processor allows a 10% grace amount for an authorization before it incurs higher fees associated with the higher risk of chargeback. In a normal key in terminal, this corresponds to the Adjust button. For small adjustments, the terminal does not dial back. For larger adjustments, the terminal dials back, and in…

  • Looking at the same problem right now. nlapiInsertLineItem() is the function you need to use to insert the line. To the best of my understanding, you will need to put your logic and code as a 'Validate Line Function' if you want to run it on an update (which gets run after an add, edit, or update). You will need to put it…

  • If both the item and core are being dropped shipped to the customer like that, would using kits solve your problem?

  • Trimb, Like I was saying, the cost is grayed out since the quantity is negative. I'm assuming NS is considering to to literally be the cost, and not a sense of value. If the quantity is positive the cost can be specified. So basically NS assumes the cost of items in inventory should have the correct values associated with…

  • Mark, What library/API did you end up using to create the PDF layout? Thanks, James
    in Printing Different BarCode Labels Comment by 3938537 Mar 12, 2012 4:18PM
  • Mark, Did you ever find a solution? Evan, I don't think cf=<ID> works in this situation (at least not for me). cf should be for custom forms. The label layouts are not associated with a custom form. In fact, from what I can tell none of the custom forms have anyway to reference a specific label layout. There are a couple…

  • Closest thing you can do is use jquery and flip the html controls on the website.. Will need some fancier jquery to do dynamic selection.. Not sure if this is worth it considering how Netsuite doesn't provide much in the way of server side processing. SuiteCommerce did a bunch of work on our website using ajax calls to a…

    in nlobjSearchFilter with expressions and/or Comment by 3938537 Dec 8, 2011 11:11PM
  • Thanks efagone, One small difference between the formula and a normal text search is that the text search is case insensitive. So I had to wrap both the field { ... } and search string ' ... ' in UPPER( ) calls. Evan, I was not able to see any of the undocumented setOr(), setNot(), etc, assuming we are talking about client…

  • First, I don't think its possible. The work around is to move everything else out of the tab, rename the tab, and then add what else you would like to.. Regards, James

  • Evan, Thanks for the links. I am familiar with BFO. I was hoping there might be a programmatic way to invoke and collect netsuite PDFs. We are able to work with what NS provides. Just needed a little bit in the way of automation. We have a similar issue with label generation. Will probably just script a way to generate…

  • Thanks, We currently are using a custom SO form to pick from. We are trying to generate a single PDF document with both the SO and pick ticket (a different custom SO). Currently we have scripted a second button to generate the pick ticket. Each time it pops up Adobe then the print dialog. So its a couple extra clicks I was…

  • Your fields are displaying find. The width wrapping you are encountering is caused by the form layout. What is the column width and layout space when you customize the form? Unfortunately I don't think there is any way to display this on the View mode without it being column wrapped (short of using jquery and JS) Regards,…

  • Should I be using SuiteScript for problems like this? I know I can retrieve the item using SuiteScript and do whatever processing I need.. Any experiences regarding formulas and transaction column fields? Thanks, James

  • Hector, Thanks for the suggestion. I am new to Netsuite, and wanted to specifically know if it was possible to do the sourcing using a formula. I want to use a formula so I can add some additional logic/processing on top of the sourcing.. Thanks, James
    in Transaction Column Field Formulas Comment by 3938537 Oct 6, 2011 10:56AM
  • I hope you found a reply by now. I tried similar things, also with limited success. The issue with using the default value "{subtotal}" like you do is that subtotal is not an available field on a picking ticket. I do think it odd to hide fields like that with the assumption that picking tickets have no use of prices for…

  • Any updates? I tried searching for enhancement 150055 but couldn't find it. (I admit that I'm horrible at searching for enhancements and current bugs/issues...) I'm all for auto-numbering and anything that gives me the ability to print.. We have used custom fields to work around all sorts of NS limitations/stock features.…

  • Ok, found a workable suitescript solution: function init(type,name) { ShowitemsMachine("item"); setTimeout(function(){setSelectFocus(document.forms['main_form'].elements['entity'])}, 100); } First line is taken from the 'onclick' handler for the tab, and the second from the page_init scripts used by netsuite (adjusted with…

  • khultquist, Did you get it to work? I am using safari and have tested it in chrome. Looking at the code its should be 'forms' (there is a space in the provided code). Are you getting an error or does it just not work? James

  • We use nextopia.. it works well and very little fuzz. It does take a little work integrating the two (generating the reports and having them auto-ftped) but its worth it. This is for search though.. For browse we currently using a hacked NS/SC solution, but its performance is subpar.. I feel nextopia is reasonably priced…

  • If browse and search are not consistent with each other it may be confusing to users.. Is it such a bad thing? I don't recommend removing results from list b/c you will need to manipulate pagination. How confusing would it be to see "Displaying 15 results" and you only see 3? You can solve this using an AJAX approach the…
