How do I attach a price to an item option? What I want to achieve is that if a certain item is added to the cart with an item option selected, then it adds 15 to the price. Is there a way to do it with NetSuite OOB or do I need scriptable cart to update the price?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
To attach a price to an item option in NetSuite, you would typically use Item Pricing or Matrix Pricing. However, these methods do not allow for dynamic pricing based on item options. For your specific requirement, where you want to add a certain amount to the price if a certain item option is selected, you would need to use scripting. This is because NetSuite's out-of-the-box (OOB) functionality does not support dynamic pricing based on item options. You can use SuiteScript to create a User Event Script that triggers on the 'before submit' event of the sales order. This script would check if the specific item option is selected, and if so, add the desired amount to the price of the item. Here's a basic example of how this might look:
Copy code
javascript
function beforeSubmit(type) {
    if (type == 'create' || type == 'edit') {
        var lineCount = nlapiGetLineItemCount('item');
        for (var i = 1; i <= lineCount; i++) {
            var itemOption = nlapiGetLineItemValue('item', 'custcol_item_option', i);
            if (itemOption == 'your_specific_option') {
                var price = nlapiGetLineItemValue('item', 'rate', i);
                price = parseFloat(price) + 15; // Add 15 to the price
                nlapiSetLineItemValue('item', 'rate', i, price);
            }
        }
    }
}
Please note that this is a simplified example and you may need to adjust it to fit your specific needs. Also, remember to deploy the script and associate it with the sales order record. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
