Here's a general idea of how you can achieve this: 1. Create a custom record to store the budget for each period. This record should have fields for the budget amount and the period. 2. Create a SuiteScript that triggers whenever a requisition is created or updated. This script should calculate the total amount of the requisition and compare it with the budget for the corresponding period. 3. If the total amount of the requisition exceeds the budget, the script should throw an error and prevent the requisition from being saved. Here's a pseudo-code example of what the SuiteScript might look like:
javascript
function beforeSubmit(context) {
if (context.type !== context.UserEventType.CREATE && context.type !== context.UserEventType.EDIT) {
return;
}
var requisition = context.newRecord;
var totalAmount = requisition.getValue('total');
var budgetRecord = search.create({
type: 'customrecord_budget',
filters: [
['custrecord_period', 'anyof', requisition.getValue('period')]
]
}).run().getRange({start: 0, end: 1})[0];
if (budgetRecord) {
var budgetAmount = budgetRecord.getValue('custrecord_budget_amount');
if (totalAmount > budgetAmount) {
throw error.create({
name: 'BUDGET_EXCEEDED',
message: 'The total amount of the requisition exceeds the budget for this period.'
});
}
}
}
Please note that this is a simplified example and may not cover all the nuances of your specific use case. You may need to adjust it according to your needs.
