how to get transaction type from transaction id

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To get the transaction type from a transaction id in NetSuite, you can use the

search.lookupFields

method in SuiteScript. This method allows you to retrieve one or more fields from a record without loading the entire record into memory. Here is a sample code snippet:

javascript
var recordType = search.lookupFields({
    type: 'transaction', 
    id: transactionId, 
    columns: 'type'
}).type[0].value;

In this code,

transactionId

is the id of the transaction you want to get the type of. The

lookupFields

method is called with an object that specifies the type of record ('transaction'), the id of the record, and the fields to retrieve ('type'). The method returns an object where each key is a field name and the value is an array of objects representing the field values. In this case, we're interested in the 'type' field, so we access it with

.type[0].value
