Can't use nlapiLookupField for currency!!! Also can't insert lines into sublist!!!!!

edited Dec 2, 2019 6:14PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 2 comments

Hi-

We are making a script (after submit/user event) for expense reports (we use multiple currencies) and have some MAJOR issues...

First of all, I can't seem to use "nlapiLookupField" to lookup the currency (of either the employee or the subsidiary). We need the script to be able to determine what the base currency is (to the associated rep).

I tried adding:
var empid = nlapiGetFieldValue('entity') --- which correctly gets the employee internal ID as I had the script write it to the memo section!!!
Followed by
var localcurrency = nlapiLookupField('employee', empid, 'currency');
(I also tried the same two commands with subsidiary)

Howdy, Stranger!
