How do I track the history of an items preferred bin?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, there isn't a built-in feature to track the history of changes to an item's preferred bin. However, you can create a custom solution to track these changes. One way to do this is by creating a custom record that logs the changes. You can create a SuiteScript that triggers whenever the preferred bin of an item is updated. This script would then create a new entry in the custom record, logging the old bin, the new bin, the date of the change, and the user who made the change. Here's a basic example of how you might structure this script:

javascript
function afterSubmit(context) {
    if (context.type !== context.UserEventType.CREATE && context.type !== context.UserEventType.EDIT) {
        return;
    }

    var oldRecord = context.oldRecord;
    var newRecord = context.newRecord;

    var oldBin = oldRecord.getValue('custitem_preferred_bin');
    var newBin = newRecord.getValue('custitem_preferred_bin');

    if (oldBin !== newBin) {
        var changeLog = record.create({type: 'customrecord_bin_change_log'});
        changeLog.setValue('custrecord_old_bin', oldBin);
        changeLog.setValue('custrecord_new_bin', newBin);
        changeLog.setValue('custrecord_change_date', new Date());
        changeLog.setValue('custrecord_changed_by', runtime.getCurrentUser().id);
        changeLog.save();
    }
}

This script assumes that you have a custom record type (

customrecord_bin_change_log

) with fields for the old bin (

custrecord_old_bin

), new bin (

custrecord_new_bin

), change date (

custrecord_change_date

), and the user who made the change (

custrecord_changed_by

).
