I need to validate inline editing in NetSuite.
I already have a Client Script in place that works great when editing the record normally.
I tried adding a User Event script that on the before save function that validates the record, but it appears this is ignored with inline editing.
Has anybody ran into this before?
Any insight you can provide would be helpful. Thanks!
Edits:
The relevant code from the UE script:
function beforeSubmit(type){
if (type == "create" || type == "edit" || type == "xedit") {
var status = nlapiGetContext().getSetting("SCRIPT", "...");
var amount = Number(nlapiGetContext().getSetting("SCRIPT", "..."));
var nr = nlapiGetNewRecord();
var entitystatus = nr.getFieldValue("entitystatus");
var projectedtotal = Number(nr.getFieldValue("projectedtotal"));
if (entitystatus == status && projectedtotal >= amount) {
var statusText = nr.getFieldText("entitystatus");
var message = "ERROR...";
throw nlapiCreateError("...", message, true);
}
}
}
This applies to the opportunity record.
The field being validated is Projected Total with id projectedtotal.
My mistake, I misunderstood how xedit handled nlapiGetNewRecord(). Calling nlapiGetNewRecord when in xedit only returns the edited fields, not the entire record. Thus, the if statement was never true in xedit mode, because either the amount or the status would be null (it was very unlikely the user would edit both at the same time, and validation relies on both these fields' values).
I edited the code to lookup the field value if it is not present in the new record. Now everything works as expected!
Thanks everyone for the help!
For reference, the corrected code is below.
function beforeSubmit(type){
if (type == "create" || type == "edit" || type == "xedit") {
var status = nlapiGetContext().getSetting("SCRIPT", "...");
var amount = Number(nlapiGetContext().getSetting("SCRIPT", "..."));
var nr = nlapiGetNewRecord();
//Attempt to get values normally
var entitystatus = nr.getFieldValue("entitystatus");
var projectedtotal = Number(nr.getFieldValue("projectedtotal"));
var id = nr.getId();
//If values were null, it's likely they were not edited and
//thus not present in nr. Look them up.
if(!entitystatus){
entitystatus = nlapiLookupField("opportunity", id, "entitystatus");
}
if(!projectedtotal){
projectedtotal = Number(nlapiLookupField("opportunity", id, "projectedtotal"));
}
if (entitystatus == status && projectedtotal >= amount) {
var message = "ERROR...";
throw nlapiCreateError("101", message, true);
}
}
}
In your user event are you checking the value of the type parameter. For inline editing, the value of the type is 'xedit'.

Is it possible to fill the duedate field based on the terms field? For example, I have a date in the duedate field, but I want to extend it based on the terms field. How can I do it? Through Suitescript or workflow?
The code is incomplete because I don’t know if I’m on the right path.
(NB: It is a user event)
function beforeLoad(context) {
}
function beforeSubmit(context) {
}
function afterSubmit(context) {
var dataEntrega = context.currentRecord
currentRecordRecord.getValue({
fieldId: 'duedate'
})
var dataCondicoes = context.currentRecord
currentRecord.getValue({
fieldId: 'terms'
})
}
return {
beforeLoad: beforeLoad,
beforeSubmit: beforeSubmit,
afterSubmit: afterSubmit
}
Why do you need to script this? I believe the due date is calculated based on the terms out of the box, no need for scripting
The following code should work. Depending on your needs I recommend adding some limitations to when this logic is executed. For example you can only execute based on if the transaction/record mode is create/copy (decide if you want to include edit or not). You can also check the status of the transaction, and only execute if the status is not partially paid/paid in full...
function afterSubmit(context) {
//load record
var curRec = context.newRecord; //can substitute "context.oldRecord", or "currentRecord.get();"
//get current due date
var transDueDate = curRec.getValue({fieldId: 'duedate'});
//get the terms, this will likely come as an internal id. use getText if you want the text.
var transTerms = curRec.getValue({fieldId: 'terms'});
//empty string to hold terms as a number of days
var addtlDays;
//transform the internal id to terms as a number of days
switch (transTerms){
case 1: // Ex: 1 = internal id for term "Net 15"
addtlDays = 15;
break;
case 2: // Ex: 2 = internal id for term "Net 30"
addtlDays = 30;
break;
//add additional case statements as needed
default:
addtlDays = 0;
}
//calculuate the new due date
var d = new Date(transDueDate);
var newDueDate = d.setDate(d.getDate() + addtlDays);
//set the new due date
curRec.setValue({
fieldId: 'duedate',
value: newDueDate,
ignoreFieldChange: true //optional, default is false
});
}
This is my pageInit function
function poTransPageInit(type) {
// alert('page init');
var field= nlapiGetLineItemField('item', 'field');
field.isMandatory = true;
}
what I do wrong here?
It is true that the isMandatory method is not available in Client Scripts. As a work around you could get the field's value and check the length.
function validateLine(type){
if(type == 'sublistInternalID'){ //sublistInternalID = sublist internal id, i.e. 'item'
//get the sublist field value of mandatory column
var name = nlapiGetCurrentLineItemValue('line', 'fieldId'); //line = line #, fieldId = internal id of field
//if value length is greater than 0, then there is a value
if(name.length > 0){
return true;
} else {
alert('Please enter a value for Name field');
return false;
}
}
}
field.isMandatory is SuiteScript 2.0. In SuiteScript 1.0, you would use field.setMandatory(true), but apparently that function is not available in client scripts.
You could try moving this logic to a User Event script.
Here is my scenario, i am parsing via javascript a webpage and then post the result to an restApi to store the json in a db. The code works fine as long as all fields i defined in my script are send. Problem is over time they website might change names for fields and that would cause my code to crash.
Originally i used code like this
const mySchool = new mls.School();
mySchool.highSchoolDistrict = data["HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT"].trim();
mySchool.elementary = data.ELEMENTARY.trim();
mySchool.elementaryOther = data["ELEMENTARY OTHER"].trim();
mySchool.middleJrHigh = data["MIDDLE/JR HIGH"].trim();
mySchool.middleJrHighOther = data["MIDDLE/JR HIGH OTHER"].trim();
mySchool.highSchool = data["HIGH SCHOOL"].trim();
mySchool.highSchoolOther = data["HIGH SCHOOL OTHER"].trim();
newListing.school = mySchool;
but when the element does not exist it complains about that it can not use trim of undefined. So to fix this i came up with this
if (data["PATIO/PORCH"]) {
newExterior.patioPorch = data["PATIO/PORCH"].trim();
}
this works but i am wondering if there is a more global approach then to go and check each field if it is defined ?
You could leverage a sort of helper function to check first if the item is undefined, and if not, return a trim()-ed version of the string.
var data = Array();
data["HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT"] = " 123 ";
function trimString(inputStr) {
return (inputStr != undefined && typeof inputStr == "string") ? inputStr.trim() : undefined;
}
console.log(trimString(data["HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT"]));
console.log(trimString(data["ELEMENTARY OTHER"]));
I am trying to set a mandatory column field(through UI at field level) to false on a Journal Entry record.
I need to use User Event script because the journal entries are system generated and the same custom field should be mandatory for other transactions.
I have tried using a user event before load and setMandatory(false) but it is not working.
Here is the code I am using:
function removeMandatory(type)
{
if(type == 'create')
{
for( var i =1 ; i < nlapiGetLineItemCount('line') ; i++)
{
var customField = nlapiGetLineItemField('line', 'custcol_test_mandatory', i);
customField.setMandatory(false);
}
}
}
Any help is appreciated, Thanks
Thanks #Rusty Shackles:
I have actually worked it out using User Event Before Load function. Here is the code:
function notMandatoryBeforeLoad(type)
{
var context = nlapiGetContext();
if(type == 'create' && context.getExecutionContext() == 'scheduled')
{
var LineMandatoryField = nlapiGetLineItemField('line','custcol_test_mandatory');
if (LineMandatoryField)
{
LineMandatoryField.setMandatory(false);
}
}
}
I believe field objects are read only if not done in a Suitelet.
What you can do is use a client side script that executes on field change/validate field and check if the "mandatory" field as a value.
I have a userevent script to change the Field in Contract record from PO record. The Script is running fine. But whenever I edit a contract record and try to submit it : It throws the error "Another user has updated this record since you began editing it. Please close the record and open it again to make your changes".
May I know the reason behind this ?

The User Event script executes as the Contract record is being saved to the database. At the same time, you are loading a second copy of the record from the database and trying to submit the copy as well. This is causing the error you're seeing.
You fix this by just using nlapiSetFieldValue to set the appropriate field on the Contract.
I might also recommend getting more familiar with JavaScript by going through the JavaScript Guide over at MDN. In particular, take a look at the Boolean description so that you know how JavaScript evaluates Boolean expressions. This will help you greatly reduce the amount of code you've written here, as many of your conditionals are unnecessary.
What userevent do you have? It is happening depending on what type of user event and API you are using. Looking at your code, you are trying to load contract record that is already updated at the database. So you might consider below to address your issue. Hope, it helps.
If it is a before submit, you don't need to load the record where the script is deployed.
Just use nlapiGet* and nlapiSet* to get and set values. You also don't need to use nlapiSubmitRecord to reflect the change. With before submit, it executes before the record is being saved to the database. So your changes will still be reflected.
Then if it is after submit, it will be executed after the record has been saved to the database, Thus you might use the following API depending on your needs. Actually, this is the best practice to make sure the solution .
nlapiGetNewRecord - only use this if the script only needs to retrieve info from header and sublists. And nothing to set.
nlapiLookupField - use this if the script only needs to get value/s at the header and nothing from the line.
nlapiSubmitField - the script don't need to load and submit record if the changes only on header. Just use this API.
nlapiLoadRecord and nlapiSubmitRecord- use the former if the script will have changes at the line and then use the latter api to commit it on the database.
Being a user event script code, The code you showed is very not good considering performance.
Here is the sample you can merge
var stRecordid = nlapiGetRecordId(); //returns the contract id
// Every record has an internal id associated with it. No need to add condition explicitly to check if its null
var stRecordtype = nlapiGetRecordType();
var fields = ['entityid','companyname'];
var columns = nlapiLookupField(stRecordtype, stRecordid, fields);
var stContractID = columns.entityid;
var stCompanyName = columns.companyname;
nlapiLogExecution('debug','stContractID/stCompanyName',stContractID+'/'+stCompanyName);
var stConcatenate = stContractID+" : "+stCompanyName; //Concatenate the two Fields to get the result which needs to be found in PO
//
//your code of search
//you can improve that code also by using nlapilook up
nlapiSubmitField(stRecordtype, stRecordid, 'custentityranking_vendor_name', 'name to be updated');
