transactionaccountingline

transaction

The accounting projection of a transaction line: base-currency amount, debit, credit and net, per accounting book, with the GL account and audit-number stamps.

Module: TransactionsNo partition column
Grain note

this record duplicates once per accounting book (up to five) and states amounts in the subsidiary's BASE currency, while transactionline states them in transaction currency — anchor an accounting book or every amount multiplies; see quirks #tal-and-books.

Notes

Browser page name is TransactionAccountingLine. It has no id of its own: the key is transaction + transactionline + accountingbook. Reach it from transactionline, never directly from transaction — a header-to-accounting-line join fans out across every line of the document. Its `account` column is the practical route from a document to the chart of accounts, and you will write that join; this catalog draws no edge for it because neither this page nor the account page attests it as a join, and an edge here would claim more than the source does.

What the badges mean
master
Data class: what the record holds — master data, transaction documents, control/configuration, or a documented convenience record. NetSuite has no product-family or schema axis, so this is the whole classification.

Structural facts — how the record is partitioned, not a trap by itself

Subsidiary-scoped
The record carries a subsidiary column that partitions its rows, so the generated SQL anchors it. On a few records the column is a multiselect rather than a scalar foreign key — the table notes say which (see the quirks guide).
Location-scoped
The record carries a location column — an org segment in NetSuite before it is a warehouse — and the generated SQL anchors it the same way.

Join & extract hazards — verify before you rely on this

View
A documented convenience record rather than a stored one. Land the records it stands in for instead of assuming it extracts as-is — the table notes say where the rows actually live.
In field listings, the Key chip marks a primary-key field, and the T/F chip marks a check-box column Connect returns as a 'T'/'F' string.

Boilerplate SQL

Starting point for reading the Connect-landed copy of transactionaccountingline on Databricks — dates are real DATE/TIMESTAMP columns and need no conversion, and the partition anchors are already in place. This record carries no modification stamp, and the snippet says so where the watermark would otherwise go. Set your Unity Catalog location, schema, and filter values below; they’re substituted into the SQL and the copy button.

Query parameters

5 parameters not filled: <catalog>, <schema>, <transaction>, <transactionline>, <accountingbook>

-- ============================================================
-- Table  : transactionaccountingline — The accounting projection of a transaction line: base-currency amount, debit, credit and net, per accounting book, with the GL account and audit-number stamps.
-- Purpose: Column-selected read of transactionaccountingline — auto-generated from field metadata
-- Grain  : One row per transaction + transactionline + accountingbook
-- Caution: this record duplicates once per accounting book (up to five) and states amounts in the subsidiary's BASE currency, while transactionline states them in transaction currency — anchor an accounting book or every amount multiplies; see quirks #tal-and-books.
-- Notes  : Auto-generated skeleton for NetSuite data landed in your lakehouse from a SuiteAnalytics Connect (or SuiteQL) extract — it never addresses live NetSuite. Identifiers are lowercase as NetSuite2.com renders them. Select-type columns hold numeric internal ids: BUILTIN.DF() display resolution exists only at extraction time, so decode ids by joining the landed list records; see quirks #display-values. Check-box columns arrive as 'T'/'F' strings; see quirks #tf-booleans.
