Is it possible to build a search of all address info in Netsuite? Is: customer, vendor and locations all in the same search?
k
Locations no - but you can do customer and vendor with an "entity" search
just beware - if you have employee addresses in the system, it will expose those as well
b
Ah okay thanks, yeah could I limit it to exclude employee addresses?
k
filter on "type" not equal to employee or something like that.
of course, if they are also set up as vendors or contacts and the address is there, it'll spoil that.
b
Dang thanks. Still no way to include the locations? We build shipping tables to send to our EDI team for both sales and transfers.
k
In a single search? No.
b
Fiddlestix thanks!
k
I mean, you could always build a custom table to hold it all in a custom record and populate that table via script
if you really need it to be one search
b
Yeah I could see that being a workaround. Not a programmer on my end and the net need probably doesn't justify having a programmer build it.
k
How did you get that?
There's no link to the company though from there, so I'm not sure that helps.
b
i knew from past experience that its searchable, and its not hard to guess its id
not sure where the actual option is in the ui
k
there's like 3 address tables. Addressbook is the one that he'd want
because that'd be the one that contains a join to the entity/location
a
If you do the search from entity table, you can't get location associated with that entity?

Whoa thx all. Will take a look back and report tomorrow
