Update Custom Field for sales order
I can't seem to update a custom field for a specific sales order using the PHP api.
I'm getting a response of: INVALID_KEY_OR_REF, The specified key is invalid.
2074 is the order # I'm trying to edit and 229 is the internal id of the custom transaction body field I made. Any ideas?
[CODE]<?php
require_once '../PHPToolkit/NetSuiteService.php';
$service = new NetSuiteService();
$so = new SalesOrder();
$so->internalid = 2074;
$so->entity = new RecordRef();
$customFieldList = new CustomFieldList();
$customField = new StringCustomFieldRef();
$customField->value = utf8_encode("12345");
$customField->internalId = '229';
$customFieldList->customField[] = $customField;
$so->customFieldList = $customFieldList;
