I need some help determing where I should put the nlapiCommitLineItem in my pricing script. I have a client script that allows my sales reps to markup or markdown their line item pricing utilizing some custom integer fields on the Quote. So far, the only way for them to see what their pricing looks like is to save the quote so if they want to try different markups, they have to save and then re-edit the quote each time they want to change it. I so far have not been able to figure out how to get nlapiCommitLineItem to work properly to reflect the changes in the transaction without having to hit save. Should I put the Commit Line Item api within each If/Else If statement or should it be within the For loop? Code below. Any help is very much appreciated.

Code:
function cs_Markup() {
alert(‘Item Markup Clicked’);
console.log(‘cs_Markup invoked’);
for (var x = 1; x This is a cached copy. Click here to see the original post.

nlapiCommitLineItem is typically used to add lines. I think you might want to use the recalc client script event.

Hi david.smith, I’ve never used that script event. I guess my question is how would invoke a recalc for the whole transaction after the line items have been changed?

You only need to use `nlapiCommitLine` when you have also used `nlapiSelectLine`. It looks like you are using `nlapiSetLineItemValue` here, so `nlapiCommitLine` should be unnecessary.

I also noticed `15` is listed in two of your if-branches; only the first one will ever get executed.

On another note, I imagine all of your `if-else` blocks will look very similar. You can probably simplify this code quite a bit doing something like:

Code:
// Extract logic for calculating Rate and Amount out into reusable functions
function calcRate(initialRate, markupFactor) {
return (initialRate / (1 – markupFactor));
}

function calcAmount(quantity, rate) {
return (quantity * rate);
}

// Map the Product Class ID to the correct pricemod field
var markupByProduct = {
“5”: “custbody_fr_pricemod”,
“8”: “custbody_hw_pricemod”,
“9”: “custbody_sw_pricemod”,
“10”: “custbody_sm_pricemod”,
“11”: “custbody_fr_pricemod”,
“12”: “custbody_sm_pricemod”,
“15”: “custbody_sv_pricemod”,
“17”: “custbody_tr_pricemod”,
“18”: “custbody_fr_pricemod”,
“19”: “custbody_fr_pricemod”,
“20”: “custbody_fr_pricemod”,
“21”: “custbody_fr_pricemod”
};

function cs_Markup() {
for (var x = 1; x <= nlapiGetLineItemCount("item"); x++) {
var product = nlapiGetLineItemValue("item", "class", x);

// If no markup field is specified for the Product Class, skip the line
if (!markupByProduct[product]) {
continue;
}

var qty = nlapiGetLineItemValue('item', 'quantity', x);
var initrate = nlapiGetLineItemValue("item", "costestimaterate", x);

// Use the markup map to retrieve the right pricemod value
var markupFactor = nlapiGetFieldValue(markupByProduct[product]) / 100;
var lineRate = calcRate(initrate, markupFactor).toFixed(2);

nlapiSetLineItemValue("item", "rate", x, lineRate);
nlapiSetLineItemValue("item", "amount", x, calcAmount(qty, lineRate));
}

// Move out of function, to click handler
cs_CalcItemGP();
}
Giant `if-else` or `switch` structures are almost always avoidable in JS using Objects as maps and a few other patterns.

I would also recommend moving your call to `cs_CalcItemGP` out of `cs_Markup` and into your click handler so that you have two separate, composable functions.

[bradsimpson]

erictgrubaugh You are quite right, each “else if” statement is the same function as the hardware (product == 8) function, just a different input on the markup. I appreciate the advice on simplifying the script. This is one of the first scripts I’ve ever written so it’s wholly inefficient.
