Calculate shipping cost without using shipping calculator

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To calculate shipping cost without using a shipping calculator, you can use SuiteScript to set the shipping cost manually. This can be done in a User Event script during the beforeSubmit event. Here's a simple example of how you might do this:

javascript
function beforeSubmit(context) {
    if (context.type !== context.UserEventType.CREATE) {
        return;
    }

    var record = context.newRecord;
    var shippingCost = calculateShippingCost(record); // replace this with your own function to calculate shipping cost

    record.setValue({
        fieldId: 'shippingcost',
        value: shippingCost
    });
}

In this example,

calculateShippingCost

is a function that you would need to implement yourself. This function would take the record as an argument and return the calculated shipping cost based on your own business rules. Please note that this approach will override any shipping promotions that might be applied to the order. If you want to take shipping promotions into account, you would need to implement this in your

calculateShippingCost

function. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
