AccountingBook

Type	Interface input object
Description	Represents the accounting book passed to a Custom GL Lines plug-in implementation when you save a transaction. Use the methods available to the book object to determine if the book is a primary or secondary book or get the internal NetSuite ID of the accounting book. If you use the Multi-Book Accounting feature, the AccountingBook object represents a different accounting book each time the plug-in implementation executes. For more information, see Custom GL Lines Plug-in Process Flow.
Methods	getId() isPrimary()
Child Object(s)	n/a

getId()

Function Declaration	`int getId()`
Type	Object method
Description	Returns the internal NetSuite ID for the accounting book to be passed to a Custom GL Lines plug-in implementation. You can use this ID, for example, to load the accounting book record with the `nlapiLoadRecord(type, id, initializeValues)` SuiteScript API. You can use this ID, for example, to define plug-in implementation functionality based on the accounting book ID, to load the record for the book with `nlapiLoadRecord(type, id, initializeValues)`, or to search for the record with `nlapiSearchRecord(type, id, filters, columns)`. See SuiteScript 1.0 Documentation. The type for an accounting book record is `accountingbook`. Important: Limit the use of these APIs, where possible, to improve performance of the plug-in implementation. Also, searching for a record results in better performance than loading the record. You can view the list of internal NetSuite IDs for accounting books at Setup > Accounting > Accounting Books. You can also use helper functions in a utility file to avoid adding the internal NetSuite IDs into the plug-in implementation logic. See Utility Files for a Custom GL Lines Plug-In Implementation.
Returns	int
Input Parameters	None.
Parent object	AccountingBook

Example

             function customizeGlImpact(transactionRecord, standardLines, customLines, book)
   {
      ...
      var bookId = book.getId();
      if (!book.isPrimary())
      {
         var bookRec = nlapiLoadRecord('accountingbook',bookId);
         ...
      }
      ...
   }

isPrimary()

Function Declaration	`boolean isPrimary()`
Type	Object method
Description	Returns `true` if the book object is the primary accounting book for the NetSuite account or returns `false` if the accounting book is a secondary accounting book.
Returns	boolean
Input Parameters	None.
Parent object	AccountingBook

Example

             function customizeGlImpact(transactionRecord, standardLines, customLines, book)
   {
      ...
      var bookId = book.getId();
      if (book.isPrimary())
      {
         var bookRec = nlapiLoadRecord('accountingbook',bookId);
         ...
      }
      ...
   }
