Why would nlapiInitiateWorkflow() throw "RCRD_HAS_BEEN_CHANGED" exception?
Howdy everyone,
I have a scheduled script that is processing a few hundred sales orders daily. It *mostly* works fine, but there are 10-15 events a day where the call to nlapiInitiateWorkflow() results in NetSuite throwing a
exception. I've checked and verified there are no updates in my code, it's a dead simple script, 71 lines most of which are infrastructure and plumbing.RCRD_HAS_BEEN_CHANGED
Considering we can't pass an nlobjRecord reference to the nlapiInitiateWorkflow() method I don't see how I can be the cause of a concurrency fault. I'm tempting to put a simple retry mechanism in place but I'd rather understand WHY this is happening first.
