using a formula(number) how do i reference a field on a record type that is a parent of the current record.

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, to reference a field on a parent record from a child record, you would typically use the

getFieldValue

or

lookupField

methods in SuiteScript. Here's an example of how you might do this:

code
var recordType = nlapiGetRecordType(); // Get the type of the current record
var recordId = nlapiGetRecordId(); // Get the ID of the current record
var currentRecord = nlapiLoadRecord(recordType, recordId); // Load the current record

var parentId = currentRecord.getFieldValue('parent'); // Get the internal ID of the parent record

// Now you can use nlapiLookupField to get a field value from the parent record
var parentField = nlapiLookupField('parentRecordType', parentId, 'fieldName');

In this example, replace

'parentRecordType'

with the record type of the parent record and

'fieldName'

with the name of the field you want to reference on the parent record. Please note that this is a SuiteScript 1.0 example. If you're using SuiteScript 2.0, the methods will be slightly different, but the overall approach is the same. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
