We have a script written in SS1.0 that among a few things, will create an Item Fulfillment record. However, I.F. records created with this method never trigger a workflow we have that should run for all Item Fulfillments on create. Is this is known thing with Netsuite? What might be the work-arounds? Off the top of my head, I would imagine a scheduled workflow, but wondering what other options we may have available? Thanks!

what type of script?

UE
b
known thing
user event scripts can't trigger other user event scripts or workflows
Copy code
User event scripts cannot be executed by other user event scripts or by workflows with a Context of User Event Script. In other words, you cannot chain user event scripts. You can, however, execute a user event script from a call within a scheduled script, a portlet script, or a Suitelet.

Wonder what the reasoning behind that is.

im assuming they didn't want to deal with infinite loops

Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it.

You can get around it though by having a suitelet that the UE calls that does the work and that'll fire the UE

Is this actually done? It sounds slow since the record is saved twice. And it sounds insecure since the suitelet is external
c
suitelet isn't external as you are on server-side so you're already authenticated
b
are you sure
serverside isn't authenticated
suitelets use the presence of the jsessionid to check authentication and backend scripts don't set that cookie
c
I am wrong you are correct.. i was thinking client side.
either way you can call the suitelet if you HAVE to fire the UE
