Lookup Instructions

Find a Record

Search
```
records.json
```
for the record internal ID (for example, "salesorder", "customer").
The record object contains all field definitions.

Record Properties

Each record includes:

Property	Description
`recordCategory`	Record type: List, Transaction, Entity, Activity, Subrecord, Script, Custom, etc.
`scriptingLevel`	API access level: Full, Read and Search Only, Search Only, Copy Not Supported, etc.
`clientScriptable`	Whether the record can be scripted in client SuiteScript (true/false)
`serverScriptable`	Whether the record can be scripted in server SuiteScript (true/false)
`scriptingNotes`	Special notes (for example, "Server scripts must access through the parent record")
`supportsCustomFields`	Whether the record supports custom fields

Field Properties

Each field includes:

Property	Description
`internalId`	Field ID to use in scripts (for example, "entity", "trandate")
`type`	Field type: text, select, currency, date, checkbox, etc.
`label`	Human-readable field name
`required`	"true" or "false"
`nlapiSubmitField`	Whether the field can be updated through `submitFields()`
`help`	Tooltip/description text

Common Lookups

Check if a record supports create/update:

Look for "scriptingLevel": "Full" — supports all CRUD operations.
"Read and Search Only" — cannot create or update via script.
"Search Only" — can only be used in N/search, no N/record access.

Check client vs. server scriptability:

"clientScriptable": true — can attach a Client Script and use currentRecord.
"serverScriptable": true — can be used in User Event, Scheduled, Map/Reduce, etc.

Get all fields for a record:

Search records.json for: "internalId": "salesorder".

Find required fields:

Look for fields where "required": "true".

Check if field is submittable:

Look for "nlapiSubmitField": "true".
