This script would check the status of the department associated with the transaction and prevent the transaction from being saved if the department is inactive. Here is a basic example of how you might implement this in SuiteScript 2.0:

javascript
define(['N/record', 'N/search'], function(record, search) {
    function beforeSubmit(context) {
        var transaction = context.newRecord;
        var departmentId = transaction.getValue('department');
        var department = record.load({
            type: record.Type.DEPARTMENT,
            id: departmentId
        });
        if (department.getValue('isinactive')) {
            throw new Error('Cannot create transaction with inactive department');
        }
    }
    return {
        beforeSubmit: beforeSubmit
    };
});

This script uses the

beforeSubmit

user event trigger to load the department associated with the transaction. If the department is inactive (

isinactive

field is true), it throws an error and prevents the transaction from being saved. Please note that this is a basic example and may need to be adjusted to fit your specific needs. For example, you may need to handle cases where the transaction does not have a department associated with it, or where the department record cannot be loaded for some reason.
