Automatically approve Reverse Journal Entry

There are instances when a user would like to have a the reverse journal entry automatically approved upon creating a pending approval journal entry.

This use case could be met by creating a user event script triggered on after submit, such as the script below:

function afterSubmit(type){

    var journalID = nlapiGetRecordId();
   
    var filters = new Array();
    filters[0] = new nlobjSearchFilter( 'internalid', null, 'is', journalID);
    var columns = new Array();
    columns[0] = new nlobjSearchColumn( 'reversalnumber' );
    var searchresults = nlapiSearchRecord( 'journalentry', null, filters, columns );

    for ( var i = 0; searchresults != null && i < searchresults.length; i++ )
    {
        var searchresult = searchresults[ i ];
        var reversalJE = searchresult.getValue( 'reversalnumber' );
        nlapiLogExecution('debug','reversalJE',reversalJE);
    }
   
    var filters2 = new Array();
    filters2[0] = new nlobjSearchFilter( 'tranid', null, 'is', reversalJE);
    var columns2 = new Array();
    columns2[0] = new nlobjSearchColumn( 'internalid' );
    var searchresults2 = nlapiSearchRecord( 'journalentry', null, filters2, columns2 );

    for ( var j = 0; searchresults2 != null && j < searchresults2.length; j++ )
    {
        var searchresult2 = searchresults2[ j ];
        var reversalJEID = searchresult2.getValue( 'internalid' );
        nlapiLogExecution('debug','reversalJEID',reversalJEID);
    }
   
       
    var params = new Array();
    params['type'] = 'approve';   
    nlapiSetRedirectURL('RECORD','journalentry',reversalJEID, 'false',params);

}
