how to model a minimum amount for a sales order? such that if the total of the order is less than the minimum, an extra line is added to bring the total to the minimum

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To model a minimum amount for a sales order in NetSuite, you can use a combination of SuiteScript and custom fields. Here's a general approach: 1. Create a custom field on the sales order record to store the minimum order amount. This field can be set manually or calculated based on certain criteria. 2. Write a SuiteScript that triggers on the

beforeSubmit

event of the sales order record. This script should check if the total amount of the order is less than the minimum amount specified in the custom field. If it is, the script should add an extra line item to the order to bring the total up to the minimum amount. Here's a simplified example of what the SuiteScript might look like:

javascript
function beforeSubmit(context) {
    var salesOrder = context.newRecord;
    var total = salesOrder.getValue('total');
    var minimumOrderAmount = salesOrder.getValue('custbody_minimum_order_amount'); // replace with your custom field id

    if (total < minimumOrderAmount) {
        var difference = minimumOrderAmount - total;

        var line = salesOrder.getLineCount('item');
        salesOrder.insertLine({
            sublistId: 'item',
            line: line
        });
        salesOrder.setSublistValue({
            sublistId: 'item',
            fieldId: 'item',
            line: line,
            value: '1' // replace with your item id
        });
        salesOrder.setSublistValue({
            sublistId: 'item',
            fieldId: 'amount',
            line: line,
            value: difference
        });
    }
}

This script assumes that you have a specific item that you can add to the order to make up the difference. You'll need to replace

'1'

with the internal ID of this item. Please note that this is a simplified example and may not cover all possible 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. ******
