Creating a Sales Order Record via SuiteTalk Using a Custom Form – JCurve Solutions

Scenario

User needs to specify the Custom Form to be used when creating Sales Order records via Web Services. To define the Custom Form in the Web Service request, the Internal ID of the Custom Form should be referenced in the XML Request File.

Solution

1. Identify the Custom Form Internal ID

Navigate to Customization > Forms > Transaction Forms
Click Edit beside the appropriate form
On the current web page URL in the address bar (e.g. https://12345.app.netsuite.com/app/common/custom/custform.nl?id=110&nl=F&ft=TRANSACTION&tt=SalesOrd&ol=F&e=T), get the value of the id parameter (110 for the example)

2. Insert the customForm node within the record node with the appropriate Custom Form Internal ID in the XML Request File like the highlighted part of the following sample code:

<soapenv:Envelope>

xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'

xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'

xmlns:soapenv='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'

xmlns:platformCore='urn:core_2019_2.platform.webservices.netsuite.com'

xmlns:tranSales='urn:sales_2019_2.transactions.webservices.netsuite.com'

xmlns:platformMsgs='urn:messages_2019_2.platform.webservices.netsuite.com'>

<soapenv:Header>

<tokenPassport xsi:type='platformCore:TokenPassport'>

<account xsi:type='xsd:string'>xxxxxx</account>

<consumerKey xsi:type='xsd:string'>xxxxx</consumerKey>

<token xsi:type='xsd:string'>xxxxxx</token>

<nonce xsi:type='xsd:string'>xxxxxxxx</nonce>

<timestamp xsi:type='xsd:long'>1585870462</timestamp>

<signature algorithm='HMAC_SHA256' xsi:type='platformCore:TokenPassportSignature'>xxxxxxxxxxxx</signature>

</tokenPassport>

</soapenv:Header>

<soapenv:Body>

<add xsi:type='platformMsgs:AddRequest'>

<record xsi:type='tranSales:SalesOrder' internalId='1'>

<customForm xsi:type='platformCore:RecordRef' internalId='110'/>

</record>

</add>

</soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>
Note: To apply this solution, there should be ample knowledge regarding Web Services and the proprietary application being used to create Web Services requests to the NetSuite account.
