How to write SuiteScript script elegantly with VS CODE

Permission to Setup Tax Codes and/or Tax Groups

To allow non-administrator users to setup or edit tax codes and tax groups, the Administrator must add the Tax Items permission by following the steps below.

1. Navigate to Setup > Users/Roles > Manage Roles.
2. Edit the role.
3. Permissions > Lists > add Tax Items with at least Edit access level.
4. Click on Save.

Override Avatax in NetSuite

Once an Avatax tax code is used in a transaction, it can no longer be changed in the transaction because it is locked to the tax code since there is a document on the admin console reflecting the transaction. To further explain:

1. When a transaction is first created using Avatax Tax Item, Avatax computes the tax, sets the special field provided by NetSuite to avoid tax field being overidden by NetSuite. NetSuite's logic ignores NetSuite's computed tax and uses Avatax's computed tax if
this special field is set.

2. Now if the user changes the Tax Item from Avatax Tax Item to 'Non Avatax Item', in this case 'Non Taxable' or 'Exempt', Avalara does not calculate the tax and also does not blank out the special hidden field so that NetSuites Tax Engine can take over.
If this special hidden field is not blanked out by Avatax, NetSuite ends up using the value in this field and to the end user it appears that tax did not change.

The two options would be:

1. To cancel/close/offset the transaction and create a new one using a non-Avatax tax code.
2. Turn Avatax off, edit the transaction to change the tax code and turn Avatax back on.

Note: If there are many instances like this - where you need to change a tax code from Avatax to non-Avatax, the workaround you may want to consider is to create a User Event script that on Edit will set the taxamountoverride field to null if tax item is not Avatax. If you want this, you can review with your developers to create that script.

 

CSV Import: Sales Order > Error: Invalid item reference key xx.

Recommendations:

1. The CSV Import file shouldcontain the same Item Name format as shown in Transactions > Sales > Enter Sales Orders > Items tab > Items subtab> Item drop down field. 

2. Internal ID can also beused instead of Item Name. Just make sure that on the field mapping page, clickon the pencil icon beside the Item field and ChooseReference Type = Internal ID.

3. Verify if theItem is Inactive. If the Item record is inactive, set it to active statusbefore importing.

-Navigate to Lists > Accounting > Items.

-Check the ShowInactives box.

-Uncheck the Inactive boxbeside the Item Name.

-Click on Submit.

Sales Order Saved Search that Shows Billing Schedule and Revenue Recognition

1. Navigate to Lists > Search > Saved Searches > New> Transaction.

2. On the Criteria tab > Standard subtab add the following filters:

• Type = is Sales Order
• Billing Schedule = specify billing schedules.

3. On the Results tab > Columns subtab add the following fields:

• Number > Summary type = Group
• Name > Summary type = Group
• Account > Summary type = Group
• Reseller (Custom) > Summary type = Group
• Billing Schedule > Summary type = Group
• Next Bill Date > Summary type = Group
• Rev. Rec. Start Date  > Summary type = Group

4. Rename the search and click Save & Run.

Avoid "Attempting to access memorized transaction as a non-memorized transaction" when doing a search via Web Services.

User receives "Attempting to access memorized transaction as a non-memorized transaction" when performing Web Services search operation. One possible way to avoid this is to set Memorized = false on search filter, see sample SOAP request below:

<soap:Body>
    <platformMsgs:search>
      <platformMsgs:searchRecord xsi:type="tranSales:TransactionSearch">
        <tranSales:basic>
          <platformCommon:mainLine>
            <platformCore:searchValue>true</platformCore:searchValue>
          </platformCommon:mainLine>
          <platformCommon:memorized>
            <platformCore:searchValue>false</platformCore:searchValue>
          </platformCommon:memorized>
          <platformCommon:status operator="anyOf">
            <platformCore:searchValue>_invoiceOpen</platformCore:searchValue>
          </platformCommon:status>
          <platformCommon:type operator="anyOf">
            <platformCore:searchValue>_invoice</platformCore:searchValue>
          </platformCommon:type>
        </tranSales:basic>
      </platformMsgs:searchRecord>
    </platformMsgs:search>
  </soap:Body>

Effect on Sales Tax Liability Report and Pay Sales tax page if Credit memo for Sales Tax Refund is Issued

Given: Credit Memo for Sales Tax Refund was issued and this is to be reflected on Sales Tax Reports

The credit memo will just have the effect of offsetting the invoice for the customer for whom sales tax was refunded to. The effects will wash out in the report, since the tax due amount is cumulative.

The Pay sales tax page will have an amount once the amount of the credit memo has already been offset by a new sales tax invoice i.e. the page will only have an amount once the tax due column is positive again.

See below for sample computation:

In the example below, sales tax charged for the whole invoice = 9

 

	(Periodic)	(Cumulative)
	Tax Collected	Tax Due
Month 1
Invoice in Month 1 (to be refunded)	9	9
Total Before payment, Month 1	9	9
Payment in Month 1	0	-9
Total After payment, Month 1	9	0
Month 2
Other invoice 1 in Month 2	9	9
Other invoice 2 in Month 2
CM in Month 2	-9	-9
Total Before payment, Month 2	0	0
Payment in Month 2	0	0
Total After payment, Month 2	0	0
SUMMARY	Tax Collected	Tax Due
Invoice	18	18
Credit memo	-9	-9
Payment	0	-9
	9	0

 this.get('city') + ' ' + (this.get('state') === null ? '' :  this.get('state')) +' '+ this.get('zip') + ' ' + this.get('country');

5. Save.

After making the changes above, state and zip codes will now be separated by a space.
