获取子公司的运输方式列表

Question

I'm using NetSweet/NetSuite Ruby gem for connecting to NetSuite accounts.

Normally it's trivial to get list of shipping methods using get_select_value . However one NetSuite account is organized into subsidiaries, and shipping methods are assigned to subsidiaries. For this particular account, get_select_value returns empty list:

NetSuite::Records::BaseRefList.get_select_value({
    recordType: "salesOrder",
    field: "shipMethod",
}).base_refs.length
=> 0

This makes some sense: in new sales order form the list of shipping methods is initially empty. When I select "customer" option, NetSuite automatically fills the read-only field "subsidiary". Then list of available shipping methods is populated.

Is there a way to fetch list of shipping methods by subsidiary or for a customer?

NetSuite API response contains a warning: "Results are incomplete. You must provide a value for field entity."

Full response:

            <platformCore:message>Results are incomplete. You must provide a value for field entity.</platformCore:message>
          </platformCore:statusDetail>
        </platformCore:status>
        <platformCore:totalRecords>0</platformCore:totalRecords>
        <platformCore:totalPages>0</platformCore:totalPages>
      </platformCore:getSelectValueResult>
    </getSelectValueResponse>

Using filterByValueList and passing customer internalId as entity seems to work.

NetSuite::Records::BaseRefList.get_select_value({
    recordType: "salesOrder",
    field: "shipMethod",
    filterByValueList: {
      "platformCore:filterBy" => {
        "platformCore:field" => "entity",
      "platformCore:internalId" => ns_customer.internal_id}
    }
}).base_refs.length
=> 17

It's somewhat counter-intuitive, as filter option should reduce items in the output.
