Efficient data retrieval and analysis are essential for managing financial transactions in any business. Accessing detailed transaction records, including vendor information and billing addresses, helps organizations streamline reporting, improve decision-making, and enhance financial tracking. By leveraging structured queries, users can extract relevant data, integrate it with external systems, and generate comprehensive reports tailored to business needs.
In NetSuite, SuiteQL can be used to retrieve all vendor transactions where the transaction type is either a Vendor Credit (VendCred) or a Vendor Bill (VendBill). Additionally, the query filters records where the foreign total amount is greater than zero. To enrich the data, it joins the Entity table to fetch vendor details and the EntityAddress table to retrieve billing address information.
SUITEQL Query
SELECT Transaction.*
FROM Transaction
INNER JOIN Entity AS Vendor ON Vendor.ID = Transaction.Entity
LEFT OUTER JOIN EntityAddress AS VendorAddress ON VendorAddress.nkey = Transaction.BillingAddress
WHERE Transaction.Type IN ('VendCred', 'VendBill')
AND Transaction.foreigntotal > 0;
Explanation of the Query:
SELECT Transaction.*
- This retrieves all columns from the Transaction table.
INNER JOIN Entity AS Vendor ON Vendor.ID = Transaction.Entity
- This joins the Entity table to fetch vendor-related details based on the Entity column in the Transaction table.
LEFT OUTER JOIN EntityAddress AS VendorAddress ON VendorAddress.nkey = Transaction.BillingAddress
- This joins the EntityAddress table to fetch billing address details if available.
WHERE Transaction.Type IN ('VendCred', 'VendBill')
- This filters transactions to include only vendor bills and vendor credits.
AND Transaction.foreigntotal > 0
- Ensures that only transactions with a foreign total greater than zero are included.
