&gt; In the transactions there is a Sales Effective Date field (Field ID: saleseffectivedate) but when validating in <http://Netsuite2.com|Netsuite2.com> in the transaction table this field is not available. 
&gt; 
&gt; Where is this field in the database or how can I access it?

&gt;*AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):*
The Sales Effective Date field (Field ID: saleseffectivedate) is not directly available in the transaction table in NetSuite. However, you can access it through SuiteScript or SuiteTalk API.

In SuiteScript, you can use the `record.getFieldValue` method to get the value of the Sales Effective Date field. Here is an example:

```javascript
var record = nlapiLoadRecord('salesorder', 'internalid');
var saleseffectivedate = record.getFieldValue('saleseffectivedate');
```

In SuiteTalk API, you can use the `get` operation to retrieve a record and then access the Sales Effective Date field. Here is an example:

```xml
&lt;soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:messages_2015_1.platform.webservices.netsuite.com" xmlns:urn1="urn:core_2015_1.platform.webservices.netsuite.com"&gt;
   &lt;soapenv:Header&gt;
      &lt;urn:tokenPassport&gt;
         &lt;!--You will need to insert your own tokenPassport elements here--&gt;
      &lt;/urn:tokenPassport&gt;
   &lt;/soapenv:Header&gt;
   &lt;soapenv:Body&gt;
      &lt;urn:get&gt;
         &lt;urn:baseRef xsi:type="urn1:RecordRef" internalId="internalid" type="salesOrder"/&gt;
      &lt;/urn:get&gt;
   &lt;/soapenv:Body&gt;
&lt;/soapenv:Envelope&gt;
```

After you retrieve the record, you can access the Sales Effective Date field like this:

```javascript
var saleseffectivedate = result.record.saleseffectivedate;
```
