Is it an invalid operation to POST a recordType: transfer using SuiteScript N/record?

By POST, are you referring to the HTTP method? That's not applicable to N/record.

Are you wanting to create a Transfer transaction with the N/record module in a server script of some kind?

You should share your code or explain further. Makes no sense 

Oh yea sorry, using a SuiteScript RESTlet, I’m getting an invalid operation when I try to record.create() a transfer transaction. Is there a way around this?

<@U0440QLPQN8> Please share your code and more details about context / the error

Hi <@UH8L0UJAU>,

Thanks for your help! The SuiteScript 2.1 code that I’m trying to run where the error occurs is:
```record.create({ type: "transfer", isDynamic: true, });```
The specific error is
```{\"type\":\"error.SuiteScriptError\",\"name\":\"INVALID_OPERATION\",\"message\":\"That operation is not supported for this record type: transfer\",\"id\":\"\",\"stack\":[\"Error\n    at suitescript/resources/javascript/record/recordImpl.js:40:12\n    at Function.createRecord_raw (suitescript/resources/javascript/record/recordImpl.js:38:24)\n    at suitescript/resources/javascript/record/recordImpl.js:26:29\n    at Object.createRecord (suitescript/resources/javascript/record/recordImpl.js:24:24)\n   "],\"cause\":{\"type\":\"internal error\",\"code\":\"INVALID_OPERATION\",\"details\":\"That operation is not supported for this record type: transfer\",\"userEvent\":null,\"stackTrace\":[\"Error\n    at suitescript/resources/javascript/record/recordImpl.js:40:12\n    at Function.createRecord_raw (suitescript/resources/javascript/record/recordImpl.js:38:24)\n    at suitescript/resources/javascript/record/recordImpl.js:26:29\n    at Object.createRecord (suitescript/resources/javascript/record/recordImpl.js:24:24)\n  "],\"notifyOff\":false},\"notifyOff\":false,\"userFacing\":true}```

<@U0440QLPQN8> Your message says `search.create({ type: "transfer" })` but your error is about creating a record. Did you mistype the first part?

Oh shoot sorry lemme edit, I copy and pasted the wrong one

The transfer transaction' doesn’t show up here: <https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/netsuite/ns-online-help/chapter_N3170023.html#SuiteScript-Supported-Records>

This post seems to imply that it’s possible and that <http://Bill.com|Bill.com> is doing it: <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72835062/how-to-customize-the-netsuite-bank-transfer-form-and-record>

Without more details / proof on the part of the poster, we don't know for sure that <http://Bill.com|Bill.com> creates transfers. They might utilize Journals or some other method of achieving the same goal.

Yea that you mentioned make sense. It seems like the transfer transaction type was added in after other transaction types have already been productionized.
