how do you set a percentage in a numberic field through the soap api

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To set a percentage in a numeric field through the SOAP API, you would typically use the

setFieldValue

method, passing in the field name and the value you want to set. However, when dealing with percentage fields, you need to be aware that NetSuite stores these as decimal values. For example, a value of 50% would be stored as 0.5. Here's a general example of how you might set a percentage field:

java
record.setFieldValue('custrecord_percent_field', 0.5);

In this example, 'custrecord_percent_field' is the internal ID of the custom field, and 0.5 represents 50%. Please note that the actual method to set the field value may vary depending on the specific SOAP library you are using. The above example is a general representation and may need to be adjusted to fit your specific implementation. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
