make department (lines) mandatory based on the subsidiary

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it seems that making the Department (lines) field mandatory based on the subsidiary can be achieved through a combination of SuiteScript and setting preferences in NetSuite. Here are the steps: 1. Using SuiteScript: You can create a User Event Script that triggers before record load. This script can check the subsidiary and set the Department (lines) field as mandatory. Here is a sample code snippet provided in the conversations:

javascript
function userEventBeforeLoad_mandatory(type, form, request){
 var sublistobj = nlapiGetSubList('line');
 var memofield = sublistobj.getField('memo');
 memofield.setMandatory(true);
}

In this code, you need to replace 'memo' with the internal id of the Department (lines) field. This script should be deployed on the Journal record type. 2. Using Accounting Preferences: In NetSuite, under 'Accounting Preferences' in the 'Classification' section, you can make segments mandatory. However, this setting makes the Department mandatory everywhere it's visible on a form. Therefore, it's recommended to do thorough testing before enabling this setting to avoid breaking transactions or automations where the Department field isn't being set. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
