Solving the getFullYear TypeError in NetSuite's SuiteScript: A Simple Solution

Building applications that rely on date operations can sometimes lead to frustrating errors. One such common issue experienced by developers is the error message: "cannot find function getFullYear(...)". This article will walk you through the problem and present a solution that will get you back on track!

The Problem: Encountering TypeError

When trying to interact with a sublist called demandplandetail from a NetSuite Item Demand Plan, developers face a notorious roadblock. Many find that although they can successfully load and process data for a specific year (like 2020), accessing data for subsequent years proves to be a challenge.

The Frustrations Encountered:

Change Year: Setting the year field to 2021 manually ends up being ignored, with the record defaulting to 2020 upon saving.

Using Date Object:

This throws the error: TypeError: Cannot find function getFullYear in object NaN.

Trying Various Formats: Various acceptable date formats (like '1/1/2021') also yield the same result.

Setting Start Date: Even attempts to set the field 'startdate' didn’t resolve the issue.

The Solution: Switch to SuiteScript 1.0

After much trial and error, the mystery behind this TypeError is solved with a simple but significant switch. This issue is a limitation of SuiteScript 2.0, where certain date manipulations do not behave as expected.

Steps to Resolve:

Use SuiteScript 1.0: Instead of continuing with SuiteScript 2.0, the only way to properly handle the date-related functions is by utilizing SuiteScript 1.0.

Summary of the Fix:

Revert to SuiteScript 1.0: By doing this, you can regain access to the full capability to manipulate dates without triggering errors like "cannot find function getFullYear."

Conclusion

Working with date records in NetSuite can sometimes lead to unexpected hurdles, particularly when dealing with SuiteScript functionalities. By understanding the core issue and switching to SuiteScript 1.0, you can avoid the notorious getFullYear error and proceed with your development more effectively.

If you still encounter issues even after making the switch, there's a community of developers out there who are more than willing to help. Feel free to reach out and keep collaborating!

Remember, tackling programming issues can often come down to trying a different approach. Happy coding!
