Can anyone please provide a sample soap request that shows how to send only name (without internal id) for a record ref field? I am facing below error when sending item and location for inventory adjustment. Error:

<platformCore:code>USER_ERROR</platformCore:code><platformCore:message>Please enter value(s) for: Item, Location</platformCore:message>

Request snippet:

<ns01:item xsi:type="ns02:inventoryItem">
          <ns02:name xmlns:ns02="urn:core.platform.webservices.netsuite.com">5686</ns02:name>
        </ns01:item>
        <ns01:location xsi:type="ns02:location">
          <ns02:name xmlns:ns02="urn:core.platform.webservices.netsuite.com">USA : BLT-1</ns02:name>
        </ns01:location>

I may be wrong, but I don't think you can reference an item without internal id. If I'm not wrong, you'll have to get the internal id first somehow.

@battk Tried with RecordRef too.. Same error. Any samples on how to send RecordRef?

<ns01:item type="inventoryItem" xsi:type="ns02:RecordRef">
          <ns02:name xmlns:ns02="urn:core.platform.webservices.netsuite.com">5686</ns02:name>
        </ns01:item>
        <ns01:department internalId="1"/>
        <ns01:class internalId="21"/>
        <ns01:location type="location" xsi:type="ns02:RecordRef">
          <ns02:name xmlns:ns02="urn:core.platform.webservices.netsuite.com">USA : BLT-1</ns02:name>
        </ns01:location>

read it

Thank you @battk @Shawn Talbert Documentation clearly says name will be ignored during write operations

name

xsd:string

N

This is a read-only field that is populated by NetSuite when it's a part of a get or search response. If this field is populated during a write operation, it will be ignored.
