Triggering Submit button in Mapping
Hi
I am facing an issue to trigger Submit button of bill in NetSuite but it is not triggering but not raising error message
This is what I tried to map for submit button with multiple combinations in Add / Update bubble of NetSuite of value like 'true", "T", "1" etc.
Any idea would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Nazim

Nazim Akber Ali I don't think that's possible because buttons are client side and everything we do runs server side. When you click Submit in the UI, what does it do to the bill? If it's just changing status, then you can map to status field in Celigo.
Hi Tyler Lamparter
When user presses "Submit" button, approver name is reflected in "Next Approver/s" field but doesn't change status. Then Approver is entitle to change status.
Nazim Akber Ali I don't think this is possible nor do I think it's even possible with a NetSuite script. If you have a way to get the line of approver succession, then you could update the field directly with the next approver.
As a proud proponent of separation of concerns, I'd avoid putting any approval logic responsibilities into the integration flow if possible. Maybe implement a separate NetSuite workflow that can initiate or transition the approval workflow when the order is saved? Or a scheduled Mass Update can do it also. That way you avoid the technical debt of approval details in the integration, which should be modified as little as possible once deployed to production.
Another option would be to add a "Auto Submit for Approval" Checkbox field onto the transaction, then you could set that field from the integration and the Approval WF could transition accordingly and bypass the interactive step of clicking the button by a user.
