I have created the following scripts:
"calcTotalWeight" called in Save Record Function and Recalc Function
function calcTotalWeight() { // Called in: RECALC // On Recalc (after Validate Line returns True and the line has been added/inserted), loop through // the line items, adding the line item weights to the total weight, then display the total in // the Order Weight field (custom transaction body field). /* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ var totalwt = 0; for (var i=1;i<=nlapiGetLineItemCount('item');i++) { var line_weight = parseFloat(nlapiGetLineItemValue('item', 'custcol_itemqtywt', i)); totalwt += line_weight; } nlapiSetFieldValue('custbody_orderweight', nlapiFormatCurrency(totalwt)); return true; } /* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ 0
