Initiate Workflow from Script
I have a workflow that fires on creation of a record. It goes through all of the states correctly when creating using the Netsuite UI and also when created using Web Services.
However, when creating the record through a script, using the nlapiInitiateWorkflow command, the record gets stuck in the first state.
This is the output of the log file:
10-FEB-2011 09:28:39.692 Initiated workflow
10-FEB-2011 09:28:39.725 Running ONENTRY trigger
10-FEB-2011 09:33:00.482 Running BEFORELOAD trigger
There is nothing in the workflow that initiates Before Record Load. Has anyone else experienced issues when initializing the workflow from a script?
