I'm trying to set the Estimated Amount for an item on a Requisition automatically whenever the item is added or the quantity or unit is updated. It works but only once either the quantity or unit is updated. It doesn't work as soon as an item is added.

Code:
function updateEstimatedAmount(type,name){
if(type == 'item' && (name == 'item' || name == 'units' || name == 'quantity')){
var amount = nlapiGetCurrentLineItemValue('item','amount');
console.log(amount.toString());
nlapiSetCurrentLineItemValue('item', 'estimatedamount', amount);
}
}
The console.log is working, so I'm confused as to why the line cannot be set when the item is initially added. It will only work the second them this script is executed.

Is your function attached to the field change event or the post sourcing event? If your field is attached to the on change event, try relocating it to the post sourcing event.

Another possibility is that your nlapiSetCurrentLineItemValue method is triggering a validate field method that is returning false, preventing the change, so double-check your field validation logic as well.

Excellent, thanks! It was a field change event and changing it to post sourcing worked.
