how to write script to automatically create work order from sales order

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To write a script to automatically create a work order from a sales order in NetSuite, you would need to use SuiteScript. Here's a general approach: 1. Create a User Event Script that triggers on the 'beforeSubmit' event of the Sales Order record. 2. In the script, iterate over each line item in the Sales Order. 3. For each line item, check if the quantity available minus the quantity ordered is less than zero. If it is, this means the item will be backordered. 4. If the item will be backordered, set the 'createwo' field on the line item to true. This will automatically create a work order for that line item when the Sales Order is saved. Here's a basic example of what the script might look like:

javascript
function beforeSubmit(context) {
    var record = context.newRecord;
    var lineCount = record.getLineCount({sublistId: 'item'});
    for (var i = 0; i < lineCount; i++) {
        var quantity = record.getSublistValue({sublistId: 'item', fieldId: 'quantity', line: i});
        var quantityAvailable = record.getSublistValue({sublistId: 'item', fieldId: 'quantityavailable', line: i});
        if (quantityAvailable - quantity < 0) {
            record.setSublistValue({sublistId: 'item', fieldId: 'createwo', line: i, value: true});
        }
    }
}

Please note that this is a simplified example and may not cover all scenarios. You may need to adjust the script to fit your specific needs. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
