How do I set Expense Reports to a status of Approved upon creation

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To set Expense Reports to a status of Approved upon creation, you can use SuiteScript, NetSuite's JavaScript-based API. You can create a User Event (UE) script that triggers upon the creation of an Expense Report and sets its status to Approved. Here is a simplified example of how you might structure this script:

javascript
/**
 * @NApiVersion 2.x
 * @NScriptType UserEventScript
 */
define(['N/record'], function(record) {
    function beforeSubmit(context) {
        if (context.type !== context.UserEventType.CREATE) {
            return;
        }

        var expenseReport = context.newRecord;
        expenseReport.setValue({
            fieldId: 'approvalstatus',
            value: 2 // 2 is the internal id for Approved status
        });
    }

    return {
        beforeSubmit: beforeSubmit
    };
});

This script uses the

beforeSubmit

event to check if the operation is a creation operation. If it is, it sets the

approvalstatus

field of the Expense Report to Approved (which has an internal id of 2). Please note that this is a simplified example and may need to be adjusted to fit your specific needs. Also, be aware that this will approve all Expense Reports upon creation, regardless of their content. If you need to apply some conditions before approving, you should implement them in this script. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
