Apply Dynamic Filter Item selection on Sales Order Form

NetSuite allows filtering of Item selection on Sales Order forms. This filter is however fixed to a specific Custom Transaction Form.

Using SuiteScript and pop-up Suitelet, it is possible to add custom button on Sales Order form which would allow dynamically filtered selection of Item. Here is a brief description of such implementation:

1) Create a new Custom Transaction Body Field
   a) Open Setup > Customization > Transaction Body Fields > New
   b) Label = Custom Button; ID = _custombutton; Type = Inline HTML
   c) Under Applies To > check Sale
   d) Under Display > select Subtab = Items
   e) Under Validating & Defaulting > Set Default Value to:


2) Create User Event script that will create custom button when Sales Order form is in create or edit mode
   a) Open Setup > Customization > Scripts > New
   b) Select User Event
   c) Choose Name and ID
   d) In Scripts, select script number 1 (User Event) - its code is below
   e) Before Load Function = userEventBeforeLoad
   f) Save
   g) click Deploy Script
   h) Applies To = Sales Order
   i) Save

3) Create Suitelet Script with the selection pop-up window
   a) Open Setup > Customization > Scripts > New
   b) Select Suitelet
   c) Choose Name and ID
   d) In Scripts, select script number 2 (Suitelet) - its code is below
   e) Function = suitelet
   f) Save
   g) Click Deploy Script
   h) Save

4) Create Client Script which creates the pop-up window and handles its callback
   a) Open Setup > Customization > Scripts > New
   b) Select Client
   c) Choose Name and ID
   d) In Scripts, select script number 3 (Client Script) - its code is below
   f) Save

5) Create or Edit any Sales Order record. A new button should now appear in Items subtab. After clicking that button, users will be given a choice to select from a filtered list of Items and the selected Item will be added on the Sales Order.


Example scripts:
Script 1 (User Event):


Script 2 (Suitelet):

function suitelet(request, response){

       if(request.getMethod() == 'GET') {

              // When the form is loaded

              var form = nlapiCreateForm('Add Filtered Item');

              form.addSubmitButton('Submit');

             

              // Create Item Select field

              var itemfield = form.addField('custpage_item', 'select', 'Item');

             

              // Search for matching items; in this example we are looking for Items with department ID = 11; add these Items to Item Select Field

              var search = nlapiSearchRecord('item', null, [new nlobjSearchFilter('department', null, 'anyOf', ['11'])], [new nlobjSearchColumn('itemid')]);

              for (result in search){

                     itemfield.addSelectOption(search[result].id, search[result].getValue('itemid'));

              }

      

              // Write output

              response.writePage(form);

       } else {

              // When the form is submitted

             

              // Get selected Item ID

              var data = request.getParameter('custpage_item');

             

              // trigger the callback function and close pop-up window

              response.write('<html><body><script>window.opener.addItemButtonCallback("' + data + '"); window.close();</script></body></html>');

       }

}

Script 3 (Client Script):
