How can I fetch Trial balance reports via SOAP API ?
b
reports are for the ui, there is no equivalent via api
best you can do is recreate the data you want using a saved search
v
@battk - I have never used saved search before. What I want here is to pull account balance data via Soap api monthly !!
b
you probably want to get started learning about searches
you will probably end up doing transaction searches
v
For saved search do we need to first go and create a saved search in UI ? And then fetch it via Soap Api with its internal id?
b
TransactionSearchAdvanced allows you to build your own search
or reference an existing one
v
So you mean I don't need to do anything in NetSuite UI ? I can directly create a savedsearch with Api ? If you have any experience in doing so, pls help me... I've been reading through transactionsearchadvanced but not able to create any soap api request successfully or if you have any tutorial that can help me pls let me know
b
what have you tried? Functionality of advanced searches is explained in Advanced Searches in SOAP Web Services
i recommended doing the search first in the ui since you will probably have an easier time seeing the data you are working with
