Set a Default Purchase Order Custom Form Based on a Subsidiary

Set a default Purchase Order Custom Form to be used based on a Subsidiary. This is achievable by creating a Custom Record that has a Custom Field which will contain the Subsidiary information and set the Custom Form on a Purchase Order using a Client Script.

function fieldChanged(type,name)

{‌

//Get the subsidiary selected in 'subsidiary' field

var sub = nlapiGetFieldValue('subsidiary');

//and store sub in custom record field for future reference

if(name=='subsidiary' || name=='customform'){‌

               var r = nlapiLoadRecord('customrecord_base_record','1');

               //'customrecord_base_record' is a record type id of custom record

               //'1' is an internal id of custom record created in step 4

               r.setFieldValue('custrecord2',sub);

               //'custrecord2' is an internal id of custom subsidiary field in custom record

               nlapiSubmitRecord(r);

}

if(name=='subsidiary'){‌

               if(sub=='3')

                              nlapiSetFieldValue('customform','78');

               else if(sub == '5')

                             nlapiSetFieldValue('customform','108');

               //Similarly, add more conditions if you have to set the custom form based on subsidiary

}

}

function pageInit(type)

{‌

//Read the subsidiary stored in custom record and set that to 'subsidiary' field

if(type == 'create'){‌

               var r = nlapiLoadRecord('customrecord_base_record','1');

               var sub = r.getFieldValue('custrecord2');

               nlapiSetFieldValue('subsidiary',sub,false);

               //Set firefieldchanged = false, so that it again doesn't trigger fieldChanged function

}
