AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
To prevent a record from being submitted if it is the same as an existing record, you can use a beforeSubmit User Event Script in SuiteScript. In this script, you can compare the current record with existing records in the system. If a match is found, you can throw an error to prevent the record from being submitted. Here is a basic example of how you might do this:
Copy code
javascript
function beforeSubmit(context) {
    var newRecord = context.newRecord;
    var recordType = newRecord.type;
    var recordId = newRecord.id;

    var filters = [];
    // Add filters based on the fields you want to compare

    var searchResult = search.create({
        type: recordType,
        filters: filters
    }).run().getRange({start: 0, end: 1});

    if (searchResult.length > 0 && searchResult[0].id != recordId) {
        throw error.create({
            name: 'DUPLICATE_RECORD',
            message: 'A record with the same details already exists.'
        });
    }
}
This script will throw an error and prevent the record from being submitted if a duplicate record is found. Please replace the filters with the actual fields you want to compare. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
