08/14/2024, 9:04 PMThanks @battk I will see if it gives me desired results. Currently, if I merge the PDF from the UI, it source the customer and transaction fields on the PDF.

battk
08/15/2024, 6:43 AMif for some reason you cant, then you must use suitescript 1.0, specifically nlapiMergeRecord

08/15/2024, 6:44 AMyou will have great difficulty using nlapiMergeRecord since it was deprecated long before suitescript 1 was deprecated

08/15/2024, 6:45 AMI was hoping I don't have to change the template to advanced PDF. Thanks for confirming it. I guess that's the only path. Except using nlapiMergeRecord.
On the side note, we can still merge the PDF using the UI.
