Know if a Purchase Order is a Drop Ship PO uisng SuiteScript

A NetSuite user would like to know how to determine if a Purchase Order is a Drop Ship Purchase Order or not.

The customer could use a field on the Purchase Order record called dropshipso. This field contains the internal ID of the Sales Order record where the PO was created from. The User Event script sample below will differentiate Drop Ship POs and Special Order POs. 

function determineDropShipPOs(type) {

     if (type == 'create') {

         var createdFrom = nlapiGetFieldValue('createdfrom');

         var dropShipSO = nlapiGetFieldValue('dropshipso');

         if (createdFrom != '' || createdFrom != null) {

             if (dropShipSO != '' || dropShipSO != null) {

                 nlapiSetFieldValue('custbody_isdropshippo', 'T');

             } else {

                 nlapiSetFieldValue('custbody_isspecialorderpo', 'T');

             }

             return true;

         } else {

             return true;

         }

     }

 }

custbody_isdropshippo is a checkbox transaction body field applied which indicates that the record is a Drop Ship Purchase Order.

Meanwhile, custbody_isspecialorderpo is a checkbox transaction body field which indicates that the record is a Special Order Purchase Order.
