In Netsuite, you can easily identify transactions by using a User Event script with a beforeLoad function. This script allows you to flag a record with a custom field when the print context is triggered. By setting this custom field, you can keep track of which transactions have been printed or are being printed. In this article, we will walk you through the steps to implement this functionality.
Step 1: Create a Custom Field: First, you need to create a custom field to serve as a flag for identifying transactions. Go to the Netsuite Customization menu and select “Lists, Records, & Fields” and then “Transaction Body Fields”. Create a new custom field of type Checkbox and assign it a unique internal ID, such as “custbody_print_flag”. Save the custom field.
Step 2: Create a User Event Script: Next, create a User Event script to handle the beforeLoad event. Go to the Netsuite Customization menu and select “Scripting” and then “Scripts”. Click on the “New” button to create a new script record.
Set the script record’s type as “User Event” and select the appropriate event(s) (e.g., “Before Load”) that you want to trigger the script. Assign the script to the desired transaction record type(s).
Step 3: Implement the beforeLoad Function: Inside the User Event script, implement the beforeLoad function to check if the print context is triggered and set the custom field accordingly.
