in a obdc query how do i filter by posting period and how do I pull the posting period id fields

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To filter by posting period in an ODBC query, you would typically use the

POSTINGPERIOD

field in your WHERE clause. However, it's important to note that the

POSTINGPERIOD

field in NetSuite uses unique identifiers, not the actual period names. Therefore, you would need to know the ID of the posting period you want to filter by. Here is a basic example of how you might structure your query:

sql
SELECT * FROM TRANSACTIONS
WHERE POSTINGPERIOD = 'your_posting_period_id'

To pull the posting period ID fields, you would simply include the

POSTINGPERIOD

field in your SELECT statement. For example:

sql
SELECT POSTINGPERIOD, OTHER_FIELDS FROM TRANSACTIONS

Please note that the above examples are simplified and your actual query may need to be more complex depending on your specific requirements. Also, it's worth mentioning that the

POSTINGPERIOD

field might not be available for non-posting transactions like Sales Orders. In such cases, you might need to reference back to the accounting periods using the transaction date or find it in related records. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
