update customer address if have, otherwise create one in suitescript

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In SuiteScript, to update a customer's address if it exists or create a new one if it doesn't, you can use the

addressbook

field of the customer record. This field is a sublist that contains all the addresses associated with the customer. Here's a simplified example of how you can do this:

javascript
var customerRecord = record.load({
    type: record.Type.CUSTOMER,
    id: customerId
});

var numAddresses = customerRecord.getLineCount({ sublistId: 'addressbook' });

var addressExists = false;
for (var i = 0; i < numAddresses; i++) {
    var addr1 = customerRecord.getSublistValue({
        sublistId: 'addressbook',
        fieldId: 'addr1',
        line: i
    });

    if (addr1 === newAddress.addr1) {
        addressExists = true;
        customerRecord.selectLine({ sublistId: 'addressbook', line: i });
        customerRecord.setCurrentSublistValue({ sublistId: 'addressbook', fieldId: 'addr1', value: newAddress.addr1 });
        customerRecord.commitLine({ sublistId: 'addressbook' });
        break;
    }
}

if (!addressExists) {
    customerRecord.selectNewLine({ sublistId: 'addressbook' });
    customerRecord.setCurrentSublistValue({ sublistId: 'addressbook', fieldId: 'addr1', value: newAddress.addr1 });
    customerRecord.commitLine({ sublistId: 'addressbook' });
}

var customerId = customerRecord.save();

In this example,

customerId

is the internal ID of the customer record you want to update, and

newAddress

is an object containing the new address information. The script first loads the customer record and checks each address in the

addressbook

sublist to see if the

addr1

field matches the new address. If it does, it updates the address and sets

addressExists

to

true

. If no matching address is found after checking all the addresses, it adds a new line to the

addressbook

sublist with the new address. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
