Populate custom field on invoice transaction line based on posting period, and item's account code,

edited Apr 30, 2020 10:41AM in Ask A Guru 1 comment

Hi, complete newbie to suitescript.

I'm trying to populate a custom field (revMonth) on an invoice with multiple transaction lines, based on the posting period (at header level, Field ID: postingperiod) and the line item's income account code/number (Field ID: incomeaccount).

i.e. For each line on the invoice that has an item: IF item's income account number begins with '2' THEN revMonth = postingPeriod + 1 month ELSE postingPeriod

Each item has an income account number associated with it, so I assume there will be a need to do a lookup of some sort to determine what the number is. The custom field (revMonth) is currently a 'free-text' field.

Howdy, Stranger!
