nlapiGetRecordId returns '-1' in timebill afterSubmit event

edited Dec 2, 2019 6:11PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 7 comments

when entering hours through the "Weekly Time Sheet" entry form I always get a '-1' as the "InternalId" from the call to nlapiGEtRecord.  The code is from the example in the developers manual and is as follows:

function onCreateAfterSubmit(type)  {     var nInternalId = nlapiGetRecordId();     var strRecordType = nlapiGetRecordType();       //   var objRecord = nlapiGetNewRecord();  //   nInternalId = objRecord.getId();          nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG', 'Create After Submit Script1', 'type:' + type + ', RecordType: ' + strRecordType + ', Id:' + nInternalId);  }


And this is what is returned:
[INDENT]Title  Create After Submit Script1  
Type  Debug  
Date & Time  6/23/2009 8-21  
Details  type:create, RecordType: timebill, Id:-1   [/INDENT]

My question would be is it possible to obtain the internal ids to timbeill records created through the "Weekly Time Sheet" entry form noting, I assume, that more than one record could be created based on a single line item and if so, what api functions could be used to find that information out.

Howdy, Stranger!
