FieldChange Script Executes Twice..HELP!!!
I have a custom record which contains Shipping Qty, Previous Qty and Qty.
There is a script that is set to execute on Field Change.
If Shipping Qty is change
{
"previous qty" is set to "qty"
"qty" = "qty"-"shipping qty"
}
The problem is that the code gets executed twice. It is acting as though the shipping qty field is changed twice. Any ideas why this is happening? I have similar scripts running on transactions and it works fine, just seems to occur on custom record.
function updateQtyVal(type, fld) { alert(fld); if(fld == 'custrecord_locqtyshipped') { var qtyshipped = nlapiGetFieldValue('custrecord_locqtyshipped'); var qty = nlapiGetFieldValue('custrecord_locqty'); //Set the previous qty to the current qty on-hand nlapiSetFieldValue('custrecord_locqtyprev', qty, false); alert(qtyshipped); var newqty = qty - qtyshipped; if (newqty < 0) { newqty = 0; } nlapiSetFieldValue('custrecord_locqty', newqty, false); //Set the Shipping Date field to today var sysDate = new Date(); var curDate = (sysDate.getMonth() + 1) + "/" + sysDate.getDate() + "/" + sysDate.getYear(); nlapiSetFieldValue('custrecord_locshipdate', curDate,false); } } 0
