SuiteScript SO from RMA - return

Question

Looking for a place to start with this. NetSuite allows you to create a return authorization from a sales order but I'm looking to go the other way. Sales Order from a Return Authorization. Not a script writer, looking to understand how difficult this would be, and a place to start.

Answer 1

Per Suite Answer 45156 transforming a record via SuiteScript from Return Authorization to Sales Order is not supported. A potential workaround is to create a Scheduled Script or Map/Reduce Script (both execute according to schedule) or Client Script (execute on press of button). To create a button use the Client Script type and set the button from the UI on the script record page, or add the script to a specific form and create a custom action/button.
use N/search module to search for RMAs
use N/record module to create SO, set values, and save SO
outline:
require(['N/search'], function(search) {
function loadAndRunSearch() {
//create search in UI that identifies all of the RMAs or use search.create()
var mySearch = search.load({
id: 'customsearch_my_so_search'
});
//for each search result
mySearch.run().each(function(result) {
//get values
var entity = result.getValue({name: 'entity'});
var subsidiary = result.getValue({name: 'subsidiary'});
//create SO
var newSORec = record.create({
type: record.Type.SALES_ORDER
});
//set values
newSORec.setValue({
fieldId: 'entity',
value: entity
});
newSORec.setValue({
fieldId: 'subsidiary',
value: subsidiary
});
//save SO
var newSORecId = newSORec.save();
});
}
return {
loadAndRunSearch: loadAndRunSearch
}
});
