NetSuite Customization - Select ItemFulfillment "Packages" as a List/Record as a Custom Record field

Question

I am attempting to create a custom record that has a field called "Box". I need this field to be a reference to the "Package(s)" in an ItemFulfillment. When I go to add this field as type "List/Record" I do not see anything that looks like it would be a "Package" or an "ItemFulfillment Package" in the selectable list of List/Record.

Any help in this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

I don't think this can be done. Under List/Record, you could choose "Transaction". This should allow you to link to the Fulfillment. From there, you'll be able to reference some of the fields on the Fulfillment. However, I don't think you'll find the "box" field.

Answer 2

We implemented packages (boxes) as a custom record, with "package items" (items in each package) as a child record of that. By doing so, we could track which items went in each package, as well as do searches of the packages. We duplicate weight and tracking number in the standard sublist, just in case anyone wants it, but we have that in our package custom record.
