05/08/2023, 6:51 PMI am writing a suite script which should create an item receipt in netsuite. The flow is: Purchase order -> Inbound shipment -> item receipt. However, what am I supposed to transform, the purchase order? The inbound shipment? If I transform the purchase order, there are no available lines to receive. This is confirmed in the UI. If I try to transform the Inbound Shipment into an Item Receipt however, I get a script error that such a transformation is not allowed. What is the correct way to generate an item receipt via suitescript in an Inbound Shipment flow?

05/08/2023, 7:08 PMAh ok so from this i can see a few things:
1. I definitely cannot transform the Inbound Shipment
2. I can create a RECEIVE_INBOUND_SHIPMENT record that has the same ID as the inbound shipment in order to receive items?
Siena
05/08/2023, 7:09 PMThe question then is, if I receive my items here, does that generate an item receipt? And if not, is that an issue with my item setup or a global setting? Because I need to be creating an item receipt for the purchase order, based on my understanding from my client.

05/08/2023, 7:26 PMthis should be fairly easy to figure out once you actually try it

05/08/2023, 7:29 PMbefore we go much further, do you know how to work with a inbound shipment in the ui
battk
05/08/2023, 7:29 PMthere are steps you must take before receiving an inbound shipment
s
Siena
05/08/2023, 7:30 PMIt looks receivable in the UI. The answer is barely lol I am very new to this type, but I made one and in the UI I can click receive and my item is there with a checkbox, can send a screenshot if it would help

05/08/2023, 7:30 PMexpect to know how to do everything you want to do in script via the ui

Siena
05/08/2023, 7:30 PMbut my item is not receivable on the original PO, so I dont know if that is a setup issue or intended. Google says it is intended, but my directions are definitely supposed to be to create an item receipt

battk
05/08/2023, 7:33 PMfigure out how to receive inbound shipments in the ui first
battk
05/08/2023, 7:33 PMand then move onto the script
battk
05/08/2023, 7:34 PMmaking records in script are not easier than the ui, if you are unconfident in the ui, you are more unconfident in script
s
Siena
05/08/2023, 7:34 PMI can receive it on the inbound shipment in the UI. What I am still questioning though is a) is there a setting that allows me to receive it on the PO via an item receipt or is my client confused? and b) if I am supposed to just receive on the inbound shipment, why is that receiveitems sublist -1
b
battk
05/08/2023, 7:35 PMlook at the related transactions of the inbound shipment you received
s
Siena
05/08/2023, 7:37 PMNot sure what you mean 😕
Siena
05/08/2023, 7:40 PMThere's no related records subtab that I see on this record type in the UI, but if you mean just going to the PO it was generated from, I know which PO that is. But unfortunately I cannot receive my items from the PO. When I try, the button is clickable, however I have no available items to receive. When I receive the inbound shipment in the UI, it does show my item, but in the script it says the length of the receiveitems sublist is -1, which i think implies the sublist does not exist? Have triple checked spelling of receive lol

battk
05/08/2023, 7:40 PMgo in the ui and find where the related transactions for the inbound shipment are stored
battk
05/08/2023, 7:41 PMif you cant find it, make sure you are using the standard form for the inbound shipment and that you actually received the line already
s
Siena
05/08/2023, 7:44 PMahh ok in the UI the Receive Inbound shipment was able to successfully create an item receipt on my purchase order, yay 🙂 so just need to figure out why its -1 in the script then, which must be something stupid since I am just new to this type
b
battk
05/08/2023, 7:44 PMdid you create the inbound shipment from creation to receiving yourself
battk
05/08/2023, 7:45 PMor did you work on a half completed inbound shipment
battk
05/08/2023, 7:45 PMand missed that first half
s
Siena
05/08/2023, 7:45 PMI built a script to make the inbound shipment from the PO
Siena
05/08/2023, 7:45 PMAnd then imported it via my script
b
battk
05/08/2023, 7:45 PMsame process as before
s
Siena
05/08/2023, 7:45 PMI have another created via my script to try receiving
b
battk
05/08/2023, 7:46 PMi dont think you know how to work with inbound shipments
s
Siena
05/08/2023, 7:46 PMI dont haha I am VERY new to them
b
battk
05/08/2023, 7:46 PMand you are doing the equivalent of trying to ship an order pending approval
s
Siena
05/08/2023, 7:46 PMNo, this was all already receivable
b
battk
05/08/2023, 7:46 PMso, make sure you know how to create that inbound shipment from the ui first
s
Siena
05/08/2023, 7:46 PMJust not from my script
b
battk
05/08/2023, 7:47 PMstart from a new inbound shipment you create yourself and go through all the steps necessary to receive it
s
Siena
05/08/2023, 7:47 PMI just did
Siena
05/08/2023, 7:47 PMThat was this
Siena
05/08/2023, 7:47 PMI just received the same Inbound shipment in the UI that I was getting receiveitems -1 with in my script
Siena
05/08/2023, 7:48 PMthank you so much for your patience by the way
Siena
05/08/2023, 7:48 PMit has been very difficult to wrap my head around inbound shipments 🙂
b
battk
05/08/2023, 7:51 PMis this the same inbound shipment you already received in the ui
s
Siena
