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;  }
