Determine if Users’s Netsuite Account is a OneWorld/Non-OneWord Account by SuiteScript hello wpost

Scenario 10

User would like to determine if NetSuite account is One-World by using SuiteScript. 

Solution

A unique identifier of a OneWorld Account is the use of Subsidiaries which are not available otherwise.

Below are two other methods to determine whether an account is OneWorld or not via scripting:

Server Side Script:var isOneWorld; var companyInfo = nlapiLoadConfiguration(‘userpreferences’); //gets user preferences var acctSubsidiary = companyInfo.getFieldValue(‘subsidiary’); //gets subsidiary from user preferences if(acctSubsidiary!=null){ //if subsidiary is not null  isOneWorld = true; //account is a OneWorld account }else{  isOneWorld = false; //account is NOT a OneWorld account }

Client Side Script:var isOneWorld; try{   var temp = nlapiCreateRecord(‘subsidiary’); //attempts to create a subsidiary record  //if no error occurs, script proceeds  isOneWorld = true; //account is a OneWorld account }catch(e){ //catches the error  isOneWorld = false; //account is NOT a OneWorld account }

Note: nlapiGetSubsidiary or nlobjContext.GetSubsidiary will return the current user’s subsidiary for OneWorld accounts and ‘1’ for non-OneWorld accounts. A better way to differentiate the accounts is to use a unique identifier for OneWorld accounts.
