Java adding a purchase order with custom fields
Hi All,
I have a java pgm that is adding a purchase order to NetSuite. The suitetalk version is 2013.2. I have the program adding a purchase order after making some changes in the generated code and finding a missing class from the examples. (What is generated is different than what the webservice requires). Anyway, it works.
When I try to add the custom field that I need on the PO lines, I am getting the following exception:
org.xml.sax.SAXException: {urn:core_2013_2.platform.webservices.netsuite.com}CustomFieldRef is an abstract type and cannot be instantiated
I've tried using the suggested code which did not work. It seems that the examples are outdated for a more recent version.
