how to approve sales order via suite script?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To approve a sales order via SuiteScript, you would typically change the order status from 'Pending Approval' to 'Pending Fulfillment'. However, it's important to note that this does not trigger an 'approve' action. If you have user event scripts that are triggered on the 'approve' action, you can catch that on

afterSubmit

by checking the record context

oldRecord

and `newRecord`’s order status changing from ‘A’ to ‘B’. This is equivalent to the approve action. Here's a simple example of how you might do this:

javascript
function afterSubmit(context) {
    if (context.type !== context.UserEventType.CREATE && context.type !== context.UserEventType.EDIT) {
        return;
    }

    var newRecord = context.newRecord;
    var oldRecord = context.oldRecord;

    if (oldRecord.getValue('orderstatus') === 'A' && newRecord.getValue('orderstatus') === 'B') {
        // Your 'approve' action code here
    }
}

This script checks if the order status has changed from 'A' (Pending Approval) to 'B' (Pending Fulfillment) and if so, executes the 'approve' action code. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
