Understanding How to Get the Record Type of a NetSuite Record

If you’re working within the realm of NetSuite, you might come across situations where you need to determine the record type of a specific record using its internal ID. Normally, you could achieve this via various scripting searches; however, what if you prefer to streamline this process right in your browser’s console during an active session on a NetSuite record page? This guide is here to elucidate that process for you.

The Simple Solution

To retrieve the record type using the browser console, you can use the nlapiGetRecordType function. This is an efficient method that eliminates the need for complex searches when you already have the internal ID of your record. Here’s how to do it:

Conclusion

Understanding how to efficiently utilize the browser console for retrieving record types will significantly enhance your productivity when working with NetSuite. The simplicity of these commands allows for quick responses and troubleshooting directly on the record pages without the overhead of more complex scripts.
