Different values for the same Transaction status
Chasing down a bug and finally had to resort to logging values to find the problem.
Here is some code first, then I will explain the problem.
// Here are some snippets of the values used below var TRANS_STATUS_LIST = { PEND_APPROVAL : 'A', PEND_FULFILL : 'B', PEND_BILLING : 'F' }; // BTW, transaction status field is 'orderstatus' but the searchfield for status is 'status' - this is the kind of junk that makes people go crazy! var currentSalesOrderStatus = nlapiLookupField(REC_IDS.SO, salesOrderId, TRAN_SRCH_FLD.STATUS); this.AddTraceF('Current SO status: {0}', currentSalesOrderStatus); if( currentSalesOrderStatus != TRANS_STATUS_LIST.PEND_APPROVAL ) { this.AddTrace('SO doesn't need processing, aborting operation'); return; } Steve Klett | Senior Developer
