Display Information from the Item that is being discounted

Display Information from the Item that is being discounted via script

This article will demonstrate how users could display information from the Item being discounted.

Users should create a custom transaction column (free-form text) for storing the internal id of the discount item.

Use the script snippet to update the values for each transaction :

var cTranId = nlapiGetRecordId();
var filters = new Array();
filters[0] = new nlobjSearchFilter('internalid', null, 'anyof', cTranId); //internal id of the transaction record

var columns = new Array();
columns[0] = new nlobjSearchColumn('item');

var b = new Array();

var ss = nlapiSearchRecord('transaction', null, filters, columns);

for (a = 0; a < ss.length; a++) {
    var item1 = ss[a].getValue(columns[0]);
    if (item1 == 115) { //115 was the internalid of a sample discount item
        nlapiSetLineItemValue('item', 'custcol_applied', a, ss[a - 1].getText(columns[0]));
    }
}

create an item saved search that will have the criteria of item == *Discount Item Name* and add the custom transaction column on the results tab.
