08/26/2022, 3:06 AMok, but confusing.
Record.create is used in custom lib to create a custom record instance
then custom lib is called in Sales Order UE script
in SO UE script, call custom lib to create custom record. but the UE script attached to this custom record is not fired. 😫

Seth Duda

08/26/2022, 4:38 AMDo you need the custom record ue script to fire?

08/26/2022, 4:41 AMWhat's causing the SO UE script to fire?

08/26/2022, 4:42 AMuser save SO in UI, SO UE calls custom lib to create custom record in afterSubmit()

08/26/2022, 4:47 AMAs long as this is a user saving the SO via the UI, this is a trick you can use:
Seth Duda
08/26/2022, 4:48 AMIn the UE aftersubmit, have it use N/redirect to redirect to a suitelet (passing any params you might need). Then, in the suitelet, create the custom record (which will cause UEs to fire) and once done, have the suitelet redirect back to the SO.
Seth Duda
08/26/2022, 4:49 AMIf you don't care how quickly the custom records are created, you could also resort to a map reduce script to find SOs that need the custom record(s) to be created.
Seth Duda
08/26/2022, 4:51 AMThe suitelet redirect approach works pretty well though
