Understanding NetSuite Transaction Statuses
When working with NetSuite, transaction statuses can be one of the trickiest aspects to manage. These statuses control the workflow of transactions and determine their current processing stage.
Example: Searching for Pending Fulfillment Sales Orders
To filter sales orders that are in Pending Fulfillment, you can use the following search filter in SuiteScript:
new nlobjSearchFilter('status', null, 'is', 'SalesOrd:B');
Example: Setting a Sales Order Status to Pending Approval
To update the status of a sales order to Pending Approval, you can use:
nlapiSubmitField('salesorder', soID, 'orderstatus', 'A', false);
Extracting Status Codes
NetSuite does not explicitly list these status codes in its documentation. Instead, these codes can be extracted from NetSuite’s HTML or internal system behavior. Each status corresponds to a specific code used in SuiteScript.
If you’re working with transaction statuses in scripting or saved searches, understanding these internal status codes is crucial for filtering and updating records efficiently.
