Initiate Workflow from Script

edited Dec 2, 2019 3:41PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 8 comments

I have a workflow that fires on creation of a record.  It goes through all of the states correctly when creating using the Netsuite UI and also when created using Web Services.

However, when creating the record through a script, using the nlapiInitiateWorkflow command, the record gets stuck in the first state. 

This is the output of the log file:

10-FEB-2011 09:28:39.692 Initiated workflow
10-FEB-2011 09:28:39.725 Running ONENTRY trigger
10-FEB-2011 09:33:00.482 Running BEFORELOAD trigger

There is nothing in the workflow that initiates Before Record Load.  Has anyone else experienced issues when initializing the workflow from a script?

Howdy, Stranger!
