Line numbers on itemreceipts are non-sequential, and im writing a REST script that updates the locations of the lines on an IR, i've got it working fine BUT i have no way of guessing the line ID, is there another way i can identify the line? such as the itemid for example?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it seems that the line ID on item receipts in NetSuite does not necessarily need to be sequential. It is used to uniquely identify the line on the transaction. The non-sequential numbering could be due to items composed of other items like kit, assembly, and group items. Also, if a transaction is edited and lines are removed and replaced, the line numbers do not "reset" but continue incrementing. In terms of identifying the line in a REST script, you could consider using a custom field to store a persistent line number that does not change even as you add/move lines. This could serve as an alternative way to identify the line. When working with SuiteScript, if

isDynamic

is set to true, you can use

setCurrentSublistValue

with

selectLine

and then

commitLine

. If

isDynamic

is set to false, you can use

setSublistValue

and supply a line value. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
