Creating New Sales Order : Needs Amount?

edited Dec 2, 2019 6:16PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 2 comments

I'm going crazy, I think too many coffee's today.

I'm trying to create a simple sales order, with a single item in it. 

 var newso = nlapiCreateRecord('salesorder');  newso.setFieldValue('entity',24);  newso.setLineItemValue('item','item',1,6);  newso.setLineItemValue('item','quantity',1,1);  var newsoid = nlapiSubmitRecord(newso,true,true);


And I get the error: Please enter a value for amount.

Does this mean I have to search the item record for the price of the item, then calculate the amount based upon the quantity? Shouldn't Netsuite do that for me?

Howdy, Stranger!
