Open Sales Orders Lines
This saved search displays the items allocated to open sales orders in your account, so that you can better monitor your inventory.
To perform this search using the Saved Search application, all required criteria and results fields are available through the transaction record type. To recreate this search using SuiteAnalytics Workbook however, some required fields are only available through the transaction line and transaction accounting line record types. You must therefore join these record types in your dataset to recreate the search. Additionally, some required fields might have different labels in Workbook. The following table lists key differences in fields between the saved search and the workbook:

In this workbook you must add fields from the transaction line and transaction accounting line record types. When you add fields from either the transaction line or transaction accounting line record type to a transaction dataset, data duplication can occur. For more information, see Joining Transaction Line and Transaction Accounting Line in a Dataset.
To recreate this search using Workbook:
Create a new dataset with transaction as the root record type. Then, define the dataset as follows:
Users assigned to the Sales role do not have access to the account record type in Workbook, which is required to properly recreate this saved search. If you create and share this workbook with users assigned to the Sales role, make sure you give them access to the account record type first.

Important:
Make sure you join the transaction accounting line record type from the transaction line record type. If you join both the transaction line and transaction accounting line record types directly from the transaction record, it can duplicate or otherwise skew your data.
