I am extremely new to not only scripting but SuiteScript as well (as in this is the second attempt at making a script for me). I need to set a field on a Sales Order (Lead Source) to a certain value if the customer's category is set to eCommerce. This is a User Event script set to Before Record Load. My script is:

var stCustomerCat = nlapiLookupField('customer', 21, 'category');

if (stCustomerCat == 'eCommerce') {

nlapiSetFieldValue('leadsource', '1788', false);

When uploaded, it does not behave the way I want. I tinkered around with it and changed it to (changing the == to = in the if statement):

var stCustomerCat = nlapiLookupField('customer', 21, 'category');

if (stCustomerCat = 'eCommerce') {

nlapiSetFieldValue('leadsource', '1788', false);

Using this code, it will set the Lead Source to the lead source id 1788, but it will set it to that no matter the customer category. I cannot get this to set the Lead Source to internal ID 1788 for ONLY eCommerce customers for the life of me. I know it's probably something incredibly easy and hoping someone can point that out to me.

nlapiLookupField will return an ID not a text unless you use the last parameter and set it to true.

Hey David,

I figured out a few other issues with my script as I kept poking around and actually got it working. Thank you for the response!

erictgrubaugh is a great resource for training if you're interested in learning from someone that really knows what they're doing.
