set sales order status to pending fulfillment using suitescript

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To set the status of a Sales Order to "Pending Fulfillment" using SuiteScript, you need to set the

orderstatus

field to 'B'. Here is a sample code snippet that demonstrates how to do this:

javascript
define(['N/search', 'N/record', 'N/email', 'N/runtime'],
 function(search, record, email, runtime) {

 function execute(context) {

 var searchId = 'customsearch4203';
 try {
 search.load({
 id: searchId
 }).run().each(function(result) {
 log.debug('SO :' + result.id + 'type :'+  record.Type.SALES_ORDER );

 record.submitFields({
             type: record.Type.SALES_ORDER,
             id: result.id,
             values: {
               orderstatus:'B'
             }
         });

 return true;
 });
 } catch (e) {
         log.debug('Exception :' + result.id + ' SO Not found');
 }
 }
 return {
 execute: execute
 };
 });

Please note that the field name is

orderstatus

and not

orderStatus

. The case is important in this context. Also, if the status keeps reverting back to "Pending Approval", it might be due to a workflow or some other process that is changing it back. You might want to check if you have any Advanced Approval turned on under setup->Accounting->Accounting Settings->Approval Routing. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
