UserEventType.DROPSHIP === context.type condition in an afterSubmit event is true when a Purchase Order (PO) is created via a DropShip process. This is a specific context in NetSuite where a sales order line item is marked with createpo set to DropShip.
When a sales order line item is marked as DropShip, NetSuite automatically creates a PO linked to the sales order. This process triggers the afterSubmit event with the context type set to UserEventType.DROPSHIP.
However, it's important to note that the beforeSubmit event does not get triggered in the DropShip context. This is a specific behavior of NetSuite to avoid potential infinite looping scenarios.
In the DropShip context, you can only use the afterSubmit event to perform operations like modifying the PO after it has been created. If you need to modify the PO during its creation, you might need to find a workaround as the beforeSubmit event does not fire in this context.
