I have a text string with the transaction type in it - how can I use this in record.load() to designate the record type?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite SuiteScript, the

record.load()

method requires the record type to be specified. If you have a text string with the transaction type in it, you can use this to designate the record type. However, you need to ensure that the text string matches the internal ID of the record type in NetSuite. Here's a simple example:

javascript
var recordType = 'salesorder'; // This should be the internal ID of the record type
var recordId = '12345'; // This should be the internal ID of the record

var recordObj = record.load({
    type: recordType, 
    id: recordId
});

In this example, 'salesorder' is the internal ID for Sales Order records in NetSuite. You would replace this with the internal ID of the record type you are working with. If you are unsure of the internal ID of a record type, you can find it in the NetSuite Records Browser. Please note that the internal ID of a record type may not always match the text string exactly. For example, the internal ID for Sales Order records is 'salesorder', not 'Sales Order'. If you are dealing with custom transaction types, you may need to create a lookup function to map the text string to the correct internal 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. ******
