Hi, my suitescript 2 is not saving shipping method for order my code is below:

var salesOrder = record.create({
            type: record.Type.SALES_ORDER,
            isDynamic: true,
            defaultValues: Date.now().toString
        });

 salesOrder.setValue({ fieldId: 'shipcarrier', value: "nonups" });
 salesOrder.setValue({ fieldId: 'shipmethod', value: nonUpsMethodsList[data["shipping_method"]["#text"]] });

What is the raw value you are setting for the shipmethod

i have tried 4 and '4' and "4" nothing works

Not sure that's right defaultValues: Date.now().toString

make sure you are setting the shipmethod after entity

@NElliott Date is working fine, its also create order

alternatively dont use dynamic mode

Not sure how that's working but OK. defaultValues is a name / value pair such: defaultValues: { entity: 87 }

defaultValues is an Object

yeah and you say which field you're populating and the value. Sorry maybe a different conversation just puzzled what you are assigning Date.now() to???

Yes in my code i'm setting entity in the start

interesting, I thought you'd have to do trandate: Date.now() 😉

my only other guess is that '4' is not a valid ship method for your customer

i have tried another one too.

make sure that whatever ship method has internal id 4 is selectable when you choose your customer in the ui

i have tried 6134 and also it didn't worked

whats the value of

salesOrder.getField({fieldId: 'shipmethod'}).getSelectOptions()

where in the UI?

Date of the sales order is set to current date as a default. That's why the defaultValue part is "seems to be working" when in actual it is not.

one thing more, i wasn't setting the value of "shippingcost" when when i tried to set it, it give error

@Php what does this returns: nonUpsMethodsList[data["shipping_method"]["#text"]] ?

The value of shipping method.

are you sure this is working?

it creates the order and set every value that i want it to set except, shipmethod and shipcost

Can you go to Create New Sales Order in the UI, select the Customer, select the Ship Carrier. Then open the console of the browser and type this: nlapiSetFieldValue('shipmethod', 4); and check if it sets the Ship Method field.

Yes it does gets selected.

Did you try selecting the entity field first in your code as well?

yes i did

Select the entity first, and then select the ship carrier and ship method. Also, try without dynamic mode as well.

i have tried both static and dynamic ways but nothing works, i guess.

Save the sales order, load it again and set the shipping method.

Ok.

okay
