Good day all. 

In NetSuite, I am trying to attach files to a Sales Order that are currently attached to an Inbound Shipment.  However, I can’t figure out how to Identify the file name or URL on the Inbound Shipment to begin with. 

 

Has anyone successfully be able to identify the files attached to the Communication sublist of a transaction record?  Specifically, the inbound shipment at the moment.  I see there are actions specific to finding and uploading files to the file cabinet, but that doesn't help in this case.

thanks for the read. 

If anyone finds this post later asking the same question, the IF is a a link transaction to the SO.  You have to map “Order Line” from the SO to the IF.  Then you can drop the Item Number.  Keep Quantity (because you could partially fulfill) and any other required line fields. 

This data in worked for me.

Please ignore this response.  In my haste, I replied to the wrong thread.  I am still looking for assistance on this issue.  


Hi ​@cbeene 👋

Have you had any luck on this? 

If not, and the existing search actions for NetSuite don’t provide the necessary info when you search for the Inbound Shipment, I’d recommend contacting our Support Team - they’ll be able to put in a feature request on your behalf for the ability to search for and/or have the necessary file details included. You can do that here: https://zapier.com/app/get-help

In the meantime, if NetSuite’s API provides access to the file data you could potentially use an API Request action to search for the associated files. It’s a bit more of an advanced action but our Create an API Request action guide should help to get you started. 

Hope that helps. If you run into any issues setting that up or have any further questions at all just let me know! 🙂


Hello ​@SamB,

No update on my end.  The native NetSuite actions OR what can be done in API can access Files.  I will reach out to the Support Team as you suggest. 


Thanks for following up here ​@cbeene. Sorry to hear you’ve not been able to make any progress on this yet. I’ve had a quick look into NetSuite’s API documentation and it seems like their Getting a Subrecord documentation here might be a good place to start. You could potentially use that to set up the API Request action to make a GET request to search for the relevant subrecord on the Communication sublist.

Please do keep us posted on how you get on with the Support Team and that API Request action - I’d be happy to lend a hand if you get stuck at all.
