how to neglect Mandatory column fields while saving record? - suitescript

I have created a record through suitelet. and in the end I m doing :
oppRec.save({
enableSourcing: true,
ignoreMandatoryFields: true
});
But the mandatory column field(in the record i m generating) are not getting ignored and script is throwing error while saving the oppRec. Can anyone guide me what wrong m I doing?

The ignoreMandatory field options does not ignore mandatory fields in the record. There are some fields in the record that are mandatory because they are needed for the system to function correctly, e.g. if you have Location based inventory management, the Location field cannot be blank.
From NS help:
If you read the error message, it should indicate which fields will need to be populated

NetSuite System Notes CASE formula returning all notes

I've added a formula(date/time) column to a saved search in NetSuite, to return a system notes' date.
My CASE formula is returning all the system notes row's, and I would like a specific row's date i.e. 'POP Host Int ID' date.
How can I specify the row to return the date from, or remove the rows with no date that are not relevant?
CASE
WHEN {systemnotes.field} = 'POP Host Int ID' AND {systemnotes.type} = 'Set'
THEN {systemnotes.date}
ELSE NULL
END
It appears that my WHEN logic works to identify the record's system notes do contain an entry for 'POP Host Int ID' but in THEN I'm not specifying which row to get the date from so it returns all rows. And I could be wrong on this part.
Example results
Example System Notes for 1 record
Thank you for your assistance.
The CASE statement doesn't determine which rows are returned, only what data is returned for that field. On the other hand, the reference to the systemnotes table creates a join that causes each record result to be repeated for every system note entry.
To avoid this, add {systemnotes.field} = 'POP Host Int ID' and {systemnotes.type} = 'Set' as Filters in the Criteria tab instead of in the WHEN conditions. You can then just add the field under results instead of needing a formula.
Edit in response to comment below:
In cases where you need one result per base record (user), but they don't all have valid values from the joined table (system notes), I'd suggest grouping the results by user, and using aggregation functions for all the columns. EG: For the column in question I'm assuming you are getting one valid result and a lot of blanks per user. If you group by user and set the Summarize function to MAX, you should just get one result where the valid value is returned. If no valid value exists from the system notes, you would still get a result from the user and that field will be blank.
If you are creating a saved search the place to do this is in the criteria section.
The views you've shared are for the System Notes pertaining to a single record.
For those views you could just use the Field selector in the Filters section to select your POP Host Ing ID field.
For a saved search you would use the Advanced view and scroll down the criteria field list. Near the bottom are the System Notes. You can filter on Field, Date etc

Is there a way to reference data contained in fields on related record using formula field?

I want to display the taxcode custom field on invoice records
According to Netsuite Help, the format for the formula would be like that:
{taxcode.customfieldid}, knowing that (taxcode is the field id for the taxcode field on the lines of invoice record. customfieldid is the field id for the custom field on the TaxCode record)
PS: customfieldid is a free-text
I have tried possibilities like:
{invoice.item.taxcode.customfieldid}
{item.taxcode.customfieldid}
But I still get this error "ERROR: Field 'taxcode.customfieldid' Not Found"
how can I fix this? Can anyone provide some guidance on this issue?
Generally Netsuite will only look one level away from the record you are on.
In your case you should create a new transaction line field (say custcol_tax_extra) and source that from the taxcode so when a tax code is selected that value is pulled up onto the line.
Then your xml:
<#list record.item as item>${item.custcol_tax_extra}...

How to describe (enumerate) picklist enties valid for a specific record type in Salesforce?

In apex code I want to enumerate the legal values for a picklist field. To do this I can just call Account.Foobar__c.getDescribe().getPickListValues() and I've got a list of Schema.PickListEntry values.
However it's possible to setup multiple record types for a given sObject. For example Account might have "Manufacturer", "Distributor" and "Retailer" record types. In the Salesforce setup it is possible edit (limit) the picklist entries for each field based on record type. So Retailer type accounts might only use a subset of the picklist values for the Foobar field.
So basically I want Account.Foobar__c.getDescribe().getPickListValues('Retailer') however this is not the syntax. The validFor method looks promising, but it seems like it is only for field dependent picklists - a picklist filtered only by record type returns false for isDependentPicklist.
I know this is an old post, but maybe the info below will help someone who still needs the answer.
I found here that one can actually get a list of record type specific picklist values by making a describeLayout() call.
Using your example (C#):
DescribeLayoutResult result = binding.describeLayout("Account", new string[] { "01230000000xxXxXXX" } );
PicklistEntry[] values = result.recordTypeMappings[0].picklistsForRecordType[12345].picklistValues;
Replace "01230000000xxXxXXX" with a RecordTypeId of your Retailer record type object. Use the query "SELECT Id FROM RecordType WHERE Name = 'Retailer'" to get the value.
Replace 12345 with an index of your picklist object that you would like to get values of.
You can't do it in pure Apex AFAIK, unfortunately. The metadata API does expose it.

Synchronization between AOT and DB - Will I lose data?

I am new to AX 2009. I am adding a new field to the Tax 1099 tab for vendors to store additional info. I created a new extended type that is a 9 char. string. When I create a new string field on the VendTable the default length is 10. I then change it to use my extended type (9 chars in length). When I try to save the changes I get the text that says "...could result in data truncation". I know that is fine because this is a new field and there is no data in the db yet.
BUT - I also get the message "The action you have taken will drop and re-create the table VENDTABLE and all associated index. This can be caused by renaming a field or changing the type and/or size of the field."
It's unclear to me if it is ok for me to continue. If I continue will I loose all the data in my VENDTABLE or will the data be re-created along with the table?
I've read the information here but I'm still unsure if I will loose my VENDTABLE data or not if I continue.
The system will create a new table with the new field size, copy all the data from vendtable to the new table (truncating data in your 1099 field), then delete vendtable and rename the new table to vendtable.

Saving data in table in SQL Server 2005

I am asp.net developer and I work with SQL Server 2005 .
I have a table with 4 columns
say
Name
RollNo
Std
Div
if client enters
Name
RollNo
Std
but doesn't enters 4.Div column data and try's to save data, it should not give error, it should save the data in database
So it is giving you an error? Make sure that you set 4. Div column to "Allow Nulls"(No value).
It's also good to know that SQL Server can be set up to insert a default value if one isn't provided.
HI,
That means that you need to save with either default division for standard or null value.
You can setup in database to allow null and do not pass anything and that saves the data with null values.
Otherwise, I think you should put default value in Div for that standard. So whenever you dont pass that value in Insert statement, it takes default one.
Will it help or do I misunderstood it?
If I understand your problem, you're going to have NULL in one of your fields (provided you allow nulls in the fields). Depending on where you're experiencing your problem, your code would need to test for NULL from the information a client inputs or your code will need to test for NULL when it retrieves the information.
If you're running into an error, it might be prudent to post details of the error as well.
