Copy code
var salesOrder = record.create({
type: record.Type.SALES_ORDER,
isDynamic: false,
defaultValues: null

salesOrder.setValue({
fieldId: 'entity',

02/05/2021, 12:50 AMredirect the user to the new sales order, and then set your field values
battk
02/05/2021, 12:50 AMif you only have entity, (or body fields for that matter) there are url parameters you can set to default the values

02/05/2021, 12:57 AMI think the best approach here is to create a workflow. Use the add button action to add a button to the record that you want to display the button. Then, when the user clicks the button, move the workflow to the next state which will have a redirect to record action. The redirect to record action allows you to set default values in the new record.

02/05/2021, 4:48 AMMy one issue with the workflow is that I could not map the subsidiary. Plus, isn't there a limit on how many fields you can map?

02/05/2021, 5:23 AMmapping the subsidiary is an enhancement according to NS support . I call it a defect though.

02/05/2021, 1:49 PMYou may be better doing the whole button script "trinity".
1. User event to add the button / include the client script
2. Client script button function directs to a SuiteLet
3. Suitelet - form based and on GET allows the user to specify those fields you want to populate.
on POST the suitelet creates the SO and redirects to that SO
