how to trigger script when sales order closed?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, triggering a script when a Sales Order is closed in NetSuite can be a bit tricky as closing a Sales Order does not directly trigger a User Event. However, there are a few workarounds that you can consider: 1. Custom Close Button: You can create a custom Close button that triggers a script when clicked. This script can then perform the necessary actions when a Sales Order is closed. 2. beforeLoad User Event Script: Another approach is to use a beforeLoad User Event script. This script is triggered when the user views the Sales Order after closing it. However, this approach does not have an oldRecord, so you can't differentiate between a Sales Order that was closed yesterday and the one you closed now. To overcome this, you can use a checkbox that you mark after your script runs on a closed order. 3. Session Management: You can also consider using session management to track the closed status of a Sales Order. However, this approach has its limitations as sessions do not last forever and you would lose state after the session is lost. 4. base_t Cookie: An extreme alternative is to rely on NetSuite adding the base_t cookie and check that the base_t cookie contains the URL path for closing sales orders. Your beforeLoad user event can use the base_t cookie instead of a custom field to determine that the close button was pressed. 5. Map/Reduce Script: If you need to execute a script each and every time the SO is saved, the most reliable approach is a map/reduce script that queries or searches for the sales orders you want to process. Remember, each of these methods has its own pros and cons, and the best method for you will depend on your specific requirements and constraints. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
