In Netsuite REST, how do I assign an item location to an item line in a sales order? - rest

Question

I'm using Netsuite's Postman collection (which takes care of the Oauth1 stuff), and am POSTing to this endpoint:
{{proto}}://{{host}}/rest/platform/{{version}}/record/salesorder
... and the body is something like this:
{
"customForm": "999",
"entity": {
"id": "1111"
},
"department": {
"id": "2222"
},
"subsidiary": {
"id": "33"
},
"otherRefNum": "TEST-PO",
"location": {
"id": "444"
},
"item": {
"items": [
{
"item": { "id": "555555" },
"inventorylocation": { "id": "444" },
"price": { "id": "-1" },
"grossAmt": 999,
"quantity": 1
}
]
}
}
I'm trying to assign a location on the item level. The above request creates a sales order ok (without the line-level location assignment) if I remove the inventorylocation line, but with that in there, I get this error: Unknown reference or subrecord field inventorylocation in request body.
Netsuite's REST API documentation is here:
https://system.netsuite.com/help/helpcenter/en_US/APIs/REST_API_Browser/record/v1/2019.2/index.html#tag-salesorder
I have also tried substituting location and moving the fields around a bit, without success. (either the salesorder is created without a line-level location assignment, or I get an error similar to the above error.
Any ideas?

Answer 1

From the documentation you linked, it appears that the field id you need is inventorylocation rather than itemlocation.
salesorder-itemElement
...
giftCertRecipientName Recipient Name: string
id [Missing Label:id]: string
inventorydetail: salesorder-item-inventorydetail
inventorylocation: location
inventorysubsidiary: subsidiary
isClosed Closed: boolean
...

Answer 2

Based on the documentation for a salesOrder-itemElement, it looks like that key is correct.
Have you tried the "location": "{ID}" variation?
In LedgerSync it looks like the request for creating an invoice results in this body:
{
"entity": "309",
"location": "1",
"sublist": {
"items": [
{
"amount": 12345,
"description": "Test Line Item FLURYAOLJLFADYGR-1"
},
{
"amount": 12345,
"description": "Test Line Item FLURYAOLUFUTBYJD-2"
}
]
}
}
There also is a salesOrder-item-inventorydetail object that also contains a location. Perhaps you could use that one like so:
{
"customForm": "999",
"entity": {
"id": "1111"
},
"department": {
"id": "2222"
},
"subsidiary": {
"id": "33"
},
"otherRefNum": "TEST-PO",
"location": {
"id": "444"
},
"item": {
"items": [
{
"item": { "id": "555555" },
"inventorydetail": {
"location": "444"
},
"price": { "id": "-1" },
"grossAmt": 999,
"quantity": 1
}
]
}
}
