How to create journal entry in netsuite api? - netsuite

Question

I am trying to create a journal entry on NetSuite using its SuiteScript API.
Here is my code.
export function post() {
var rec = record.create({
type: record.Type.JOURNAL_ENTRY,
isDynamic: true,
});
rec.setValue({
fieldId: "memo",
value: "from api ",
});
rec.setValue({
fieldId: "type",
value: "Journal",
});
rec.setText({
fieldId: "type",
text: "Journal",
});
rec.setValue({ fieldId: "transactionnumber", value: "158" });
rec.setValue({ fieldId: "subsidiary", value: "2" });
rec.setText({ fieldId: "subsidiary", text: "Headquarters : United States" });
rec.setValue({ fieldId: "postingperiod", value: "238" });
rec.setText({ fieldId: "postingperiod", text: "Dec 2021" });
rec.setValue({ fieldId: "customform", value: "30" });
rec.setText({ fieldId: "customform", text: "Standard Journal Entry" });
rec.setValue({ fieldId: "exchangerate", value: "1.00" });
//-------------------------debit------------------------------------------
//start a new line
rec.selectNewLine({
sublistId: "line",
});
rec.setCurrentSublistValue({
sublistId: "line",
fieldId: "account",
value: "1",
});
rec.setCurrentSublistValue({
sublistId: "line",
fieldId: "accounttype",
value: "AcctRec",
});
rec.setCurrentSublistValue({
sublistId: "line",
fieldId: "account_display",
value: "1100 Accounts Receivable",
});
rec.setCurrentSublistValue({
sublistId: "line",
fieldId: "debit",
value: "200",
});
rec.setCurrentSublistValue({
sublistId: "line",
fieldId: "credit",
value: "",
});
//close of line
rec.commitLine({
sublistId: "line",
});
//----------------------------credit---------------------------------------
//new line again
rec.selectNewLine({
sublistId: "line",
});
rec.setCurrentSublistValue({
sublistId: "line",
fieldId: "account",
value: "10",
});
rec.setCurrentSublistValue({
sublistId: "line",
fieldId: "accounttype",
value: "OthCurrAsset",
});
rec.setCurrentSublistValue({
sublistId: "line",
fieldId: "account_display",
value: "1200 Inventory",
});
rec.setCurrentSublistValue({
sublistId: "line",
fieldId: "credit",
value: "200",
});
rec.setCurrentSublistValue({
sublistId: "line",
fieldId: "debit",
value: "",
});
rec.commitLine({
sublistId: "line",
});
var recordId = rec.save();
//-------------------------------------------------------------------
return JSON.stringify(recordId);
}
Everything looks good for me but I am getting the following error
{
"error": {
"code": "INVALID_FLD_VALUE",
"message": "{\"type\":\"error.SuiteScriptError\",\"name\":\"INVALID_FLD_VALUE\",\"message\":\"You have entered an Invalid Field Value 1 for the following field: account\",\"stack\":[\"anonymous(N/serverRecordService)\",\"post(/SuiteScripts/ssv2/journal_restlet.js:73)\"],\"cause\":{\"type\":\"internal error\",\"code\":\"INVALID_FLD_VALUE\",\"details\":\"You have entered an Invalid Field Value 1 for the following field: account\",\"userEvent\":null,\"stackTrace\":[\"anonymous(N/serverRecordService)\",\"post(/SuiteScripts/ssv2/journal_restlet.js:73)\"],\"notifyOff\":false},\"id\":\"\",\"notifyOff\":false,\"userFacing\":false}"
}
}
Basically which means the account value 1 which I m sending to create line is invalid. But 1 is a valid account id of a Cash account.
This is the response of lines when I call get method.

Here account ids are 6 and 10. I still get the same error even I use 6 and 10 in the account fields. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
Thanks,
Krishna

Answer 1

The problem was subsidiary and my account ids were not matching. Here is the complete code if someone needs it in the future.
export function post() {
var rec = record.create({
type: record.Type.JOURNAL_ENTRY,
isDynamic: true,
});
rec.setValue({
fieldId: "memo",
value: "from api ",
});
rec.setValue({
fieldId: "type",
value: "Journal",
});
rec.setText({
fieldId: "type",
text: "Journal",
});
// rec.setValue({ fieldId: "transactionnumber", value: "158" });
rec.setValue({ fieldId: "subsidiary", value: "2" });
rec.setText({ fieldId: "subsidiary", text: "Headquarters : United States" });
rec.setValue({ fieldId: "postingperiod", value: "238" });
rec.setText({ fieldId: "postingperiod", text: "Dec 2021" });
rec.setValue({ fieldId: "trandate", value: new Date("12/27/2021") });
// rec.setValue({ fieldId: "customform", value: "30" });
// rec.setText({ fieldId: "customform", text: "Standard Journal Entry" });
rec.setValue({ fieldId: "exchangerate", value: "1.00" });
//-------------------------debit------------------------------------------
//start a new line
rec.selectNewLine({
sublistId: "line",
});
rec.setCurrentSublistValue({
sublistId: "line",
fieldId: "account",
value: 363,
});
rec.setCurrentSublistValue({
sublistId: "line",
fieldId: "accounttype",
value: "AcctRec",
});
rec.setCurrentSublistValue({
sublistId: "line",
fieldId: "account_display",
value: "1100 Accounts Receivable",
});
rec.setCurrentSublistValue({
sublistId: "line",
fieldId: "debit",
value: "200",
});
rec.setCurrentSublistValue({
sublistId: "line",
fieldId: "credit",
value: "",
});
//close of line
rec.commitLine({
sublistId: "line",
});
//----------------------------credit---------------------------------------
//new line again
rec.selectNewLine({
sublistId: "line",
});
rec.setCurrentSublistValue({
sublistId: "line",
fieldId: "account",
value: 10,
});
rec.setCurrentSublistValue({
sublistId: "line",
fieldId: "accounttype",
value: "OthCurrAsset",
});
rec.setCurrentSublistValue({
sublistId: "line",
fieldId: "account_display",
value: "1200 Inventory",
});
rec.setCurrentSublistValue({
sublistId: "line",
fieldId: "credit",
value: "200",
});
rec.setCurrentSublistValue({
sublistId: "line",
fieldId: "debit",
value: "",
});
rec.commitLine({
sublistId: "line",
});
var recordId = rec.save();
//-------------------------------------------------------------------
return JSON.stringify(recordId);
}

Answer 2

I guess its throwing an error because you are passing the account value as a string.
Try this -
rec.setCurrentSublistValue({
sublistId: "line",
fieldId: "account",
value: Number(1) //Change this
});
Let me know in case of any issues.

Answer 3

It looks like you are trying to set the account using the account name or account number rather than the account internal id. The setCurrentSublistValue call, when dealing with a linked record like this, needs the internal ID, not the name or number:
rec.setCurrentSublistValue({
sublistId: "line",
fieldId: "account_display",
value: "{internalid of account}",
});
EDIT: Assuming here that you mean to use SuiteScript 2.0, since that's the code you wrote, and not SuiteTalk, which is different code altogether.
