Exposing Internal IDs and Field IDs

Every NetSuite record has an internal ID and every field has a field ID. These IDs are the permanent IDs associated with the records and fields and are often visible in the URL when viewing a record.

To expose internal IDs and field IDs:

Enable Client SuiteScript:
1. Using an Administrator role, go to Setup > Company > Enable Features.
2. Click the SuiteCloud subtab.
3. Under SuiteScript, ensure that the Client SuiteScript box is checked.
4. Click Save.
Enable Show Internal IDs:
1. Point to the Home icon and select Set Preferences.
2. On the General subtab, under Defaults, check the Show Internal IDs box.
3. Click Save.
  
  The Field ID is displayed on the Field Level Help popup, which is displayed when you click the label of any field.
  
  When you search for a record type, the search result list of records displays the internal ID of every record in the Internal ID column.
  
  For more information, see Showing Record and Field IDs in Your Account.

Field IDs are in SuiteScript format, and the field IDs of standard NetSuite fields (non-custom fields) are in lowercase. However, NetSuite Connector communicates with NetSuite using SuiteTalk, and not SuiteScript. In SuiteTalk, all field IDs are in camel case. For example, Item Name/Number field ID is itemid in SuiteScript, but it is itemId in SuiteTalk.

All the standard SuiteTalk field IDs and internal IDs on all NetSuite records are listed here: Schema and Records Browser.

To reference fields, click the Schema Browser tab. To reference records, click the Records Browser tab. To find an entity, click the initial letter of the name of the entity from the alphabetical row. For example, to find the valid field IDs of inventory items, click the Schema Browser tab and click the ‘I’. Then, in the left column, click ‘InventoryItem’. All valid field IDs on inventory item records are in the Name column.
