When creating a new record and testing a script, you may encounter the following error: INVALID_API_USAGE – Invalid API usage. You must use getSublistValue to return the value set with setSublistValue. This error typically occurs when using getSublistText() in situations where NetSuite expects getSublistValue(). Solution: Switch to getSublistValue One effective fix is to replace getSublistText()… Continue reading SuiteScipt 2.x User Event Script INVALID_API_USAGE

HTTPS.requestSuitelet
The method https.requestSuitelet(options) sends an HTTPS request to another Suitelet (i.e., a script deployed as type “Suitelet”) within the same NetSuite account, and returns a ClientResponse object. Key facts: It is part of the N/https module and can be executed from client and server scripts (for example a Client script, UserEvent script, Suitelet etc). The… Continue reading HTTPS.requestSuitelet
Building Reusable AI-Powered Tools in NetSuite with the Custom Tool Script Type
What Is the Custom Tool Script Type? NetSuite’s 2025.2 release introduces a new SuiteScript classification: the Custom Tool Script Type. This script type is designed to encapsulate reusable logic — especially for AI-powered interactions — that can be invoked across multiple contexts like workflows, Suitelets, RESTlets, and scheduled scripts. Unlike traditional script types (User Event,… Continue reading Building Reusable AI-Powered Tools in NetSuite with the Custom Tool Script Type
Scripted Records and Dynamic Forms
Scripted Records in NetSuite In NetSuite, Scripted Records are records that are created, modified, or managed using SuiteScript, NetSuite’s JavaScript-based scripting framework. SuiteScript allows developers to automate business logic, enforce data validation, and integrate with external systems. These scripts can be applied to various record types such as Sales Orders, Invoices, Customers, and Custom Records.… Continue reading Scripted Records and Dynamic Forms
Clear Values In Copy Context
function pageInit(context) { try { let rec = context.currentRecord; if (context.mode === ‘copy’) { let lineCount = rec.getLineCount({ sublistId: ‘item’ }); for (let i = 0; i < lineCount; i++) { rec.selectLine({ sublistId: ‘item’, line: i }); let woId = rec.getCurrentSublistValue({ sublistId: ‘item’, fieldId: ‘custcol_jj_linked_wo’, }); if (woId) { rec.setCurrentSublistValue({ sublistId: ‘item’, fieldId: ‘custcol_jj_linked_wo’, value:… Continue reading Clear Values In Copy Context
