how to implement a logic to default location on sales order based on ship to code and inventory availablilty

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To implement a logic to default location on sales order based on ship to code and inventory availability, you can use a combination of SuiteScript and workflows. Here's a general approach: 1. Create a custom field for the ship to code on the sales order: This field will be used to store the ship to code that will be used to determine the default location. 2. Create a custom field for the location on the sales order line: This field will be used to store the default location for each line item based on the ship to code and inventory availability. 3. Create a SuiteScript to calculate the default location: This script will be triggered when the sales order is created or the ship to code is changed. It will calculate the default location for each line item based on the ship to code and inventory availability. The script can use the

nlapiSearchRecord

function to search for the inventory item and the

getLineItemValue

and

setLineItemValue

functions to get and set the location for each line item. 4. Create a workflow to set the default location: This workflow will be triggered when the sales order is created or the ship to code is changed. It will set the default location for each line item using the custom field created in step 2. The workflow can use the

Set Field Value

action to set the location. Here's a sample SuiteScript code:

javascript
function setDefaultLocation(type) {
    if (type == 'create' || type == 'edit') {
        var shipToCode = nlapiGetFieldValue('custbody_ship_to_code');
        var itemCount = nlapiGetLineItemCount('item');
        for (var i = 1; i <= itemCount; i++) {
            var itemId = nlapiGetLineItemValue('item', 'item', i);
            var filters = [new nlobjSearchFilter('internalid', null, 'is', itemId)];
            var columns = [new nlobjSearchColumn('location')];
            var searchResults = nlapiSearchRecord('inventoryitem', null, filters, columns);
            if (searchResults && searchResults.length > 0) {
                var location = searchResults[0].getValue('location');
                nlapiSetLineItemValue('item', 'custcol_location', i, location);
            }
        }
    }
}

Please note that this is a general approach and might need to be adjusted based on your specific requirements and NetSuite setup. Also, the SuiteScript API functions used in the sample code are from SuiteScript 1.0. If you are using SuiteScript 2.0, you will need to use the corresponding SuiteScript 2.0 API functions. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
