Showing Record and Field IDs in Your Account
Records and fields are referenced in SuiteScript through their internal IDs. Internal IDs are unique identifiers that are associated to a record or field, and remain constant even if the record or field value is changed.
To configure your NetSuite account to display record and field IDs, see Show Internal IDs Preference.
If the Show Internal IDs preference is already checked, read the following sections for information about viewing internal IDs from within NetSuite:
The maximum number of instances (MAXINT) permitted for a record type is 2,000,000,000. When the internal ID limit for a custom record type is reached, NetSuite reports an error if you attempt to create a new instance of the record type. Existing records are not affected, but you won’t be able to add new records of that type.
Show Internal IDs Preference
Before you can view the record or field IDs in your NetSuite account, you must configure your user preference to display internal IDs.
To show internal NetSuite IDs:
-
Go to Home > Set Preferences.
-
On the General subtab, check the Show Internal IDs box.
-
Click Save.
For examples of how internal IDs are referenced in the SuiteScript API, see record.load(options) or search.load(options).
When writing SuiteScript, all internal IDs must be specified in lowercase.
