Add a Day to Expected Ship Date(custom) on a Sales Order after a Specific Time of the Day has Passed

A Scheduled Script to Add a day to Expected Ship Date(custom) on an SO after a specific time of the day has passed

1. Create a Transaction Body Field

Navigate to Customization > Lists, Records, & Fields > Transaction Body Field > New

• Label: Expected Ship Date
• ID: custbodyexpectedshipdate
• Type: Date
• Store Value: true
• Applies To tab > Sale : checked
• Display tab > Subtab: Main
• Save

2. Create a saved search in UI that gets a list of sales orders that are not closed/fulfilled and have the Expected Ship Date as the current date.

Navigate to Lists > Search > Saved Searches > New >Select Transactions

• Search Title : Sales Orders Search
• Criteria :

         -Type:Sales Order
         -Status: any of Sales Order:Pending Approval, Sales Order: Partially Fulfilled ,   Sales Order: Pending Fulfillment
         -Expected Ship Date : is on Today

3. Create a scheduled script file 'scheduledscript.js' with following code 
    
function setDate()
 
{
var SearchResults = new Array(); //initialize a new array to store search results
  SearchResults = nlapiSearchRecord(null, 'customsearch35'); // call the search 'customsearch35' created in step 2
  var i=0;
  for (i=0; i< SearchResults.length ; i++) // loop through the search results
  {
  var recordId = SearchResults[i].getId(); //get the current record's internal id
  var record=nlapiLoadRecord('salesorder',recordId); // load the current record
  var datetime= record.getFieldValue('custbodyexpectedshipdate');  //get the value of custom date field created in step 1
  var dateObj= nlapiStringToDate(datetime); // convert the string 'datetime' to date object

  var addDateObj=nlapiAddDays(dateObj,1);  // add a day to the date object
  var addDateObjString= nlapiDateToString(addDateObj); // convert the date object to string 
  record.setFieldValue('custbodyexpectedshipdate', addDateObjString); // assign the converted date to the custom date field
  nlapiSubmitRecord(record); // save the record
  
}
}
