through the rest api, set a sales orders quantity and amount for a lines item (skipping rate, directly supplying the amount instead)

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To set a sales order's quantity and amount for a line item through the REST API, you can use the PATCH method to update the specific line item. However, you need to be careful with the order of the fields in your request. Here's a general idea of how you might structure your request:

json
{
  "lines": [
    {
      "line": 1,
      "item": {
        "id": 42
      },
      "quantity": 10,
      "amount": 500
    }
  ]
}

In this example,

"line": 1

refers to the line number of the item in the sales order,

"item": { "id": 42 }

refers to the item you want to update,

"quantity": 10

is the new quantity you want to set, and

"amount": 500

is the new amount you want to set for the item. Please note that the

"line"

field might not be necessary if you're updating a single line item. Also, the

"amount"

field directly sets the total amount for the line item, bypassing the rate. Remember to replace the values in the example with your actual values. Also, ensure that the amount you're setting is consistent with the quantity, as NetSuite checks for any imbalance between these values. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
