03/26/2020, 9:40 PMGot someone working on a record.transform. It's to transform from a custom record to create a customer and then create a SO from the details on the custom record. What would the best way to do this from a button on the custom record form?

03/26/2020, 9:42 PMCould be possible using a formless suitelet. Click on the button calls the suitelet. Suitelet creates the record then redirects

03/26/2020, 9:43 PMWould want it to do the transform but then the SO would need to be in edit mode and displayed to the user to carry on and do something with it.
karlenigma
03/26/2020, 9:43 PMDoesnt need to be saved to the Database then.

03/26/2020, 9:45 PMnot sure is record.transform does that as never used it before.

03/26/2020, 9:45 PMN/redirect allows you to go to the record in edit mode, but I think it has to be an existing record

03/26/2020, 9:46 PMIf i click on new SO in the UI it will transform to a new SO transaction in creation mode.

03/26/2020, 9:46 PMthat is where i want it to get to.
karlenigma
03/26/2020, 9:46 PMSo the record.transform would be done based on having a customer id to do it against.
karlenigma
03/26/2020, 9:47 PMclick button that then creates customer and then use record .transform to redirect to the new SO creation.
karlenigma
03/26/2020, 9:47 PMSounds doable just not sure about the script process.
karlenigma
03/26/2020, 9:49 PMSorry @rustyshackles I'm rambling lol

03/26/2020, 10:08 PMYou can redirect to the New Sales Order page, but it wont be prepopulated. The method is redirect.toTaskLink
rustyshackles
03/26/2020, 10:09 PMNot sure if you can pre-populate fields by adding them in the URL

karlenigma
03/26/2020, 10:14 PMHmmmmm might have to go down the road of a suitelet and save the transaction as need it to have an item already on there. Maybe then redirect to the Sales order with it being in edit mode stright away. Only issue then i need to set mandatory field values on creation.

battk
03/26/2020, 10:18 PMand use parameters to set default values like the entity

03/26/2020, 10:19 PMI saw this in the redirect module help: redirect.toRecordTransform. Haven't tried it so not sure how it works

battk
03/26/2020, 10:19 PMi dont think customer to sales order is an actual transform
r
rustyshackles
03/26/2020, 10:21 PMAccording to the help under Supported Transformation Types. Customer to Sales Order is valid.

03/26/2020, 10:24 PMweird
battk
03/26/2020, 10:24 PMmight work then
k
karlenigma
03/26/2020, 10:25 PMYeah just not sure if I can add items. If I do the transform I think I’d have to pass a param and then add the item once the page has loaded or something
karlenigma
03/26/2020, 10:25 PMUsing the client script maybe on page init
karlenigma
03/26/2020, 10:25 PMThink SL sounds like an easier road and just create the records and redirect to edit mode.
karlenigma
03/26/2020, 10:26 PMHopefully using ignoreMandatory on record creation
karlenigma
03/26/2020, 10:26 PMThanks for your help guys!! Will work on this more tomorrow I think.
