How to Script Consolidated Customer Statement Generation in NetSuite

While SuiteScript 1.0's nlapiPrintRecord function can be utilized for generating statements, it is important to note that SuiteScript 2.x's N/render module is the current recommended approach. For nlapiPrintRecord, properties such as startdate, statementdate, and openonly are standard. The property for consolidated statements, consolstatement, while not explicitly documented in all SuiteScript 1.0 resources, corresponds to the 'Consolidated Statement' option found in the NetSuite UI and the consolidateStatements option in SuiteScript 2.x's render.statement(options).

To generate a consolidated statement using SuiteScript 1.0, the nlapiPrintRecord function can be used with a set of properties. The following code snippet demonstrates how to define these properties, including the consolstatement property for consolidated statements, and then generate the PDF file:

var properties  [];
properties.startdate  startDate;
properties.statementdate  statementDate;
properties.openonly  openOnly;
properties.consolstatement  consolidateStatement;

var printedStatementFile  nlapiPrintRecord('STATEMENT', customerId,
'PDF', properties);

For modern SuiteScript 2.x implementations, the N/render module should be used. The equivalent functionality for generating a statement, including consolidated options, is available through the render.statement(options) method, which accepts parameters such as startDate, statementDate, openTransactionsOnly, and consolidateStatements.
