NetSuite Action - Search standard objects

The search standard objects action returns a list of records that match the search criteria. If there are no matching records, the action returns an empty array.

Unsupported records

Certain records are not supported in the action because of API limitations.

Regardless of category, you can search for any standard objects either by its internal ID or its external ID.

Because IDs are unique, the search retrieves at most one (1) record if you search by IDs.

Field name mismatch

Some NetSuite fields display internal API names instead of their labels in NetSuite.

For example, entity ID refers to the customer/vendor where to attach a transaction document, while internal ID refers to the NetSuite ID of any object.

You can search by most categories.
