In javascript setTimeout (); is used

But in NetSuite it sends the error; function not found.

What function can I use in NetSuite to generate the delay?

Thank you

There is no such behavior available in (server-side) SuiteScript.

I’m afraid you’re right

I call SuiteCloud and they told me that there is no API for a delay on NetSuite

I have used setTimeOut in my code.

setTimeout(function(){

yourcode here….

},10);

setTimeout(function(){

},10);

Did this work for you?

I try to use that function but it generates error

O.o???

[Vesku1980]

Yes, it is in use, but in client side.

​​​​​What is your script doing that you need a delay in it?

The problem is this; The check form has a bank account for “default”, when a vendor is assigned automatically the bank account, subsidiary and currency are updated.

But to update it takes 3 seconds so I need to pause, something like this;

var recCheck = nlapiCreateRecord(‘check’); // create check

var montoCheck = (antiTotalOC/cantAnti);

var montoFixed = montoCheck.toFixed(2);

nlapiLogExecution(“DEBUG”, ” montoFixed: ” , montoFixed);

recCheck.setFieldValue(‘customform’,107);

recCheck.setFieldValue(‘entity’, prov); //set vendor value

nlapiLogExecution(“DEBUG”, ” prov: ” , prov);

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Wait 3 seconds////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

recCheck.setFieldValue(‘subsidiary’,sub); // set the rest of the values to the check

nlapiLogExecution(“DEBUG”, ” sub: ” , sub);

recCheck.setFieldValue(‘department’, depto);

nlapiLogExecution(“DEBUG”, ” depto: ” , depto);

recCheck.setFieldValue(‘class’, clase);

nlapiLogExecution(“DEBUG”, ” clase: ” , clase);

recCheck.setFieldValue(‘location’, ubic);

nlapiLogExecution(“DEBUG”, ” ubic: ” , ubic);

recCheck.setFieldValue(‘usertotal’, montoFixed);

nlapiLogExecution(“DEBUG”, ” montoFixed: ” , montoFixed);

recCheck.setFieldText(‘currency’, moneda);

recCheck.setFieldValue(‘account’, cuenta);

nlapiLogExecution(“DEBUG”, ” cuenta: ” , cuenta);

recCheck.setLineItemValue(‘item’,’item’, 1, artiLst);

recCheck.setLineItemValue(‘item’,’rate’, 1, montoFixed);

var dateCheck = recCheck.getFieldValue(‘trandate’);

var idCheck = nlapiSubmitRecord(recCheck,true); //submit the record

You could create a loop to emulate setTimeout, it's not efficient but does work. See how I did it here: https://ursuscode.com/netsuite-tips/…r-side-script/

[erictgrubaugh]

Why do you need this delay? What happens without it?

Since the record is being created server-side, the record being created should be in Standard mode, so no sourcing should happen any way until you submit the entire record.

[Vesku1980]

Why don't you execute client side script from button that creates the record, there you can use wait function.

I had a similar case but with creating a new workorder.

Just saying… if Netsuite didn't disallowed it, it means it was consensual.

That statement is a non sequitur

[VerdeOS]

And solve the problem even if you do not use the delay,

I did not find the way to create it properly

thank you for your advices
