adding lines to sales order => tax error
I've got some service items (not taxable) as SKUs for electronic license codes. The license codes are delivered by a server we have outside of NetSuite. So when an order containing one of these items is approved, a UserEvent script on the sales order "Approve" event calls up my other server and fetches any needed license codes. Then it adds a description item for each code, like so:
record.insertLineItem( 'item', i ); record.setLineItemValue( 'item', 'item', i, licenseCodeItemId ); record.setLineItemValue( 'item', 'amount', i, 0 ); record.setLineItemValue( 'item', 'quantity', i, null ); record.setLineItemValue( 'item', 'description', i, description );
All of that is working great if the sales order was created on the web store. When I approve the order, the license codes are fetched, stuffed into the order, and then the item is saved (nlapiSubmitRecord).
