Copy an Existing Customer Record

Hi,

I am trying to use the nlapiCopyRecord function to make a copy of an existing customer record and save it as a child record of that existing customer.

When my newly copied customer object is saved via the nlapiSubmitRecord function I get a duplicate error.

This appears to be due to the internal ID being copied with the other information from the source customer record.

Here is a snippet:

//////////////////////////
currentRecord = nlapiLoadRecord('customer',custIDArray[i]);
//custIDArray[i] is the internalID of a customer record returned in a searchresult.

var newID = currentRecord.getFieldValue('entityid') + 'E';

newRecord = nlapiCopyRecord('customer',currentRecord.getId());

newRecord.setFieldValue('entityid',newID);
