how can a bulk update be performed on purchase order document number/tranid to remove any spaces from name?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To perform a bulk update on purchase order document number/tranid to remove any spaces from the name, you can use a combination of SuiteScript and CSV import. Here's a step-by-step guide: 1. Create a SuiteScript: Write a SuiteScript that will remove any spaces from the tranid field of the purchase order. This script should be designed to be triggered on record update.

javascript
function beforeSubmit(scriptContext) {
    if (scriptContext.type !== scriptContext.UserEventType.CREATE && scriptContext.type !== scriptContext.UserEventType.EDIT) {
        return;
    }
    var record = scriptContext.newRecord;
    var tranid = record.getValue({fieldId: 'tranid'});
    if (tranid) {
        var newTranid = tranid.replace(/\s/g, '');
        record.setValue({fieldId: 'tranid', value: newTranid});
    }
}

2. Deploy the SuiteScript: Deploy this script to the purchase order record. Make sure to set the event type to 'Before Record Submit' and the trigger type to 'On Create' and 'On Edit'. 3. Prepare a CSV file: Prepare a CSV file with two columns: Internal ID and Tranid. The Internal ID column should contain the internal IDs of the purchase orders you want to update. The Tranid column should contain the current tranid of each purchase order. 4. Import the CSV file: Go to Setup > Import/Export > Import CSV Records. Choose 'Update' as the import type, 'Transactions' as the record type, and upload your CSV file. In the mapping step, map the Internal ID column to the 'Internal ID' field and the Tranid column to the 'Document Number' field. In the options step, check the 'Run server SuiteScript and trigger workflows' box. 5. Run the import: Click 'Next' and then 'Start Import'. This will update all the purchase orders in the CSV file, triggering the SuiteScript and removing any spaces from the tranid. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
