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

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To write a script to automatically create a work order on a sales order, you can use SuiteScript's

record.create

method. However, there is no direct transform function from Sales Order to Work Order in NetSuite. Here is a basic example of how you might create a work order from a sales order using SuiteScript:

javascript
var salesOrderRecord = record.load({
    type: record.Type.SALES_ORDER, 
    id: 'your_sales_order_id'
});

var workOrderRecord = record.create({
    type: record.Type.WORK_ORDER
});

// Copy necessary fields from sales order to work order
workOrderRecord.setValue({
    fieldId: 'entity',
    value: salesOrderRecord.getValue('entity')
});

// Add lines from sales order to work order
for (var i = 0; i < salesOrderRecord.getLineCount({sublistId: 'item'}); i++) {
    workOrderRecord.selectNewLine({sublistId: 'item'});
    workOrderRecord.setCurrentSublistValue({
        sublistId: 'item',
        fieldId: 'item',
        value: salesOrderRecord.getSublistValue({
            sublistId: 'item',
            fieldId: 'item',
            line: i
        })
    });
    workOrderRecord.commitLine({sublistId: 'item'});
}

var workOrderId = workOrderRecord.save();

This script loads a sales order record, creates a new work order record, copies necessary fields from the sales order to the work order, and adds lines from the sales order to the work order. Please note that this is a simplified example and you may need to adjust it to fit your specific needs. For example, you might want to add logic to check if there is already inventory available to fulfill the sales order before creating a work order. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
