Business case for simple saved search

One of our clients had a requirement to bill Sales Orders a day after creation of an Item Fulfillment. This way if a customer decided to change an order on the same day that it is to be shipped, there wouldn't be too much of a disruption.

The saved search we decided to configure was based on the Item Fulfillment record. A link form the result set back the Sales Order was necessary. The "Created From" field was the most logical field on which to add the link. Unfortunately that field does not natively appear as a link back to the underlying transaction. We overcame and accomplished creating the hyperlink by adding a "Formula HTML" field with some special code noted below.

Build the Search and set up the criteria.

Set up the results

Add a Formula HTML field and insert this formula

CASE WHEN
{createdfrom.number} IS NULL
THEN ' '
ELSE '<a href=https://xxxxxx.app.netsuite.com/app/accounting/transactions/salesord.nl?id='||{createdfrom.internalid}||' target="_blank">'||{createdfrom.number}||'</a>'
END


We typically try to eliminate the "https://xxxxxx.app.netsuite.com/" part of when linking around the same account. In that case we simply start with "/app/...". This way the links still work in SandBox, Release Preview or Development accounts as well as Production.
