Learn SuiteScript 2.0 Pattern to Update NetSuite Item Vendor Purchase Price List

This article is relevant if you seek to understand how to program NetSuite’s vendor purchase price list on the item record.

Background

In the article Maintain NetSuite Foreign Currency Item Purchase Price Lists I illustrate how to maintain a NetSuite purchase price list using native and custom structures. One of our clients sought a mechanism to update NetSuite’s native vendor purchase price list using some techniques that required script. The price list can be maintained in different currencies. Since it was not documented well, one our senior consultants brought forth the code pattern. I bring it here to you.

NetSuite SuiteScript 2.0 to Update Vendor Item Price List

Below is the basic and simple SuiteScript 2.0 script to help illustrate the pattern to read and update the vendor item purchase price list. See related image for an example of the vendor item list we are updating.

/**
 * @NApiVersion 2.x
 * @NScriptType UserEventScript
 * @NModuleScope SameAccount
 */
define(['N/record', 'N/search'],
/**
 * @param {record} record
 * @param {search} search
 */
function(record, search) {
   
    /**
     * Function definition to illustrate how to update the currency price list offered by a vendor.
     */
	function beforeLoad(scriptContext) {
		
		//for learning, hard code loading the item we are working with
		var itemRecord = record.load({type: record.Type.INVENTORY_ITEM, id: 501});

		//get the item's vendor price sublist
		var sublistRecord = itemRecord.getSublistSubrecord({
			sublistId: 'itemvendor',
			fieldId: 'itemvendorprice',
			line: 0
		});
		
		//spin through the sublist of prices; arbitrarily update the price to illustrate how
		var count = sublistRecord.getLineCount({sublistId: 'itemvendorpricelines'});
		for ( var i=0; i < count ; i++)
		{
			var id = sublistRecord.getSublistValue({sublistId: 'itemvendorpricelines', fieldId: 'id', line: i});
			var vendorcurrency = sublistRecord.getSublistValue({sublistId: 'itemvendorpricelines', fieldId: 'vendorcurrency', line: i});
			var vendorcurrencytext = sublistRecord.getSublistText({sublistId: 'itemvendorpricelines', fieldId: 'vendorcurrency', line: i});
			var vendorprice = sublistRecord.getSublistValue({sublistId: 'itemvendorpricelines', fieldId: 'vendorprice', line: i});

			log.debug(id + vendorcurrency + vendorcurrencytext, vendorprice);

			sublistRecord.setSublistValue({sublistId: 'itemvendorpricelines', fieldId: 'vendorprice', line: i, value: (i+1)*1000});

		}
		
		//commit the item record.  The sublist will update
		itemRecord.save();
	}

    return {
        beforeLoad: beforeLoad,
    };
    
});
