This feels like maybe a dumb question but, in my UI I can void a purchase order, so why is it an unsupported record type when I go to use

var voidPurchaseOrderId = transaction.void({
    type: transaction.Type.PURCHASE_ORDER,
    id: purchaseOrderId
});

?? Am I using the wrong module to attempt this action? How do I void these?

I was not aware of

.void

method on the

N/record

module. Did you see it in the documentation? The known way to void a record is to set to 0 all the rates on the line items (something like that).

it's not on N/record it's on N/transaction https://netsuite.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/44629/kw/transaction.void(options)

Seems odd to me to have a VOID button on a purchase order. Could that be a custom button added via either script or workflow?

@Mike Robbins I'm taking a look at the scripts on the purchase order record, and there are a few from pre-installed bundles, but I'm not seeing anything that would ADD this button (still looking though), it's not a workflow.

transaction.Type lists supported voids

yeah I looked through that and found that purchase order lists as 'none'. Is it even possible to void a purchase order in suite script?

buttons have low support in suitescript in general

Yeah I'm at a loss here. Regardless of the button being there or not I'd like to be able to void these records and I'm just not sure how to do it. If it's as simple as @eminero suggested could some one point me to the documentation that covers that approach and I'll try that.

So in a test I was able to get the transaction to close all the lines and update the memo with 'VOID' and this also seems to update the PurchaseOrder with a closed status which is pretty close to what I'm trying to do, however there is a NetSuite field named 'voided' and I'm not seeing a way to trigger that being set to true.

It was a long time ago I have to void transactions in the way I described above. I do not remember if that voided Boolean field gest updated automatically. After setting all the lines to zero, try to update via script that voided = true.

@eminero sorry about the late reply, I have tried updating that field via script. It doesn't update. If I look at the records where the 'Void' button was used it's marked as true, but if I try to force update it, it won't change.

Try setting the status of closed on the purchase order
