Here are some things you can check: 1. Ensure that the 'Deployed' checkbox is checked. 2. Make sure the status is set to 'Released'. 3. The 'Inactive' checkbox should be unchecked. 4. If you are trying to debug the script, ensure that you are the owner and the status is set to 'Testing'. 5. To confirm if the script is running, try using

log.debug

and ensure the log level in the deployment is set to 'Debug'. It's also important to note that User Event scripts do not trigger for all actions. For example, drop ships do not trigger the beforeSubmit event. This is due to NetSuite's design to avoid infinite looping. Unfortunately, there isn't a comprehensive source of documentation that outlines what triggers what events and what doesn't. A lot of this understanding comes from practice and experience. If you are trying to disable line fields based on a field in the user record when the 'Receive' button on the Purchase Order is clicked, you should use a beforeLoad User Event script deployed on the item receipt.
