nlapiInitiateWorkflow giving an unexpected error
Hi,
I am trying to initiate a workflow from within a script and not having any luck. The Workflow is of Type Transaction, sub type Estimate.
If I use:
nlapiInitiateWorkflow('estimate', tran_id, 'customworkflow_xxx');
I get an Unexpected suitescript error.
If I use:
nlapiInitiateWorkflow('transaction', tran_id, 'customworkflow_xxx');
I get an SSS_INVALID_RECORD_TYPE error.
Has anyone used nlapiInitiateWorkflow successfully and can help?
Thanks.
