print a pdf for a transaction record using a custom button and advanced/basic pdf template

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To print a PDF for a transaction record using a custom button and advanced/basic PDF template, you can follow these steps: 1. Create a Suitelet script that will generate the PDF. This Suitelet will use the

N/render

module to generate a PDF from a transaction record using a specific template. Here is a sample code snippet:

javascript
var render = require('N/render');
var record = require('N/record');

function suitelet(context) {
    var recId = context.request.parameters.recId;
    var recType = context.request.parameters.recType;

    var transactionRecord = record.load({
        type: recType,
        id: recId
    });

    var renderPDF = render.transaction({
        entityId: recId,
        printMode: render.PrintMode.PDF,
        inCustLocale: true
    });

    context.response.writeFile(renderPDF);
}

2. Create a custom button on your transaction record. This can be done by going to

Customization > Forms > Transaction Forms

, then select your form and go to

Screen Fields > Main

. Here you can add a new button. 3. Add a client script to your transaction form that will call the Suitelet when the custom button is clicked. Here is a sample code snippet:

javascript
function onButtonClick() {
    var recId = nlapiGetRecordId();
    var recType = nlapiGetRecordType();
    var suiteletURL = nlapiResolveURL('SUITELET', 'customscript_yoursuitelet', 'customdeploy_yoursuitelet');
    suiteletURL += '&recId=' + recId + '&recType=' + recType;
    window.open(suiteletURL);
}

Remember to replace

'customscript_yoursuitelet'

and

'customdeploy_yoursuitelet'

with your actual Suitelet script ID and deployment ID. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
