How can I query for the tax id field on a vendor record?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, the Tax ID field on a Vendor record is typically referred to as the

vatregnumber

. However, this field is not directly exposed for querying in SuiteQL or SuiteScript. A common workaround for this is to create a custom field (for example,

custentity_vatregnumber

) that copies the value of the

vatregnumber

field whenever a Vendor record is created or edited. This custom field can then be used in your SuiteQL or SuiteScript queries. Here's a simple example of how you might set this up in SuiteScript:

javascript
function beforeSubmit(type) {
    if (type == 'create' || type == 'edit') {
        var vendor = nlapiGetNewRecord();
        var vatregnumber = vendor.getFieldValue('vatregnumber');
        vendor.setFieldValue('custentity_vatregnumber', vatregnumber);
    }
}

In this script, the

beforeSubmit

function is triggered whenever a Vendor record is created or edited. It retrieves the new Vendor record, gets the value of the

vatregnumber

field, and then sets the value of the

custentity_vatregnumber

custom field to match. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
