Currency Object Members in SuiteScript 2.1 Reference

The Currency object in SuiteScript 2.1 allows developers to effectively manage currency data through its members. Each member plays a critical role in defining currency attributes, such as the amount and ID, for use in complex calculations and applications within NetSuite workflows.

What Are the Members of the Currency Object?

The following members are part of the workbook.Currency object:

Detailed Descriptions

• Currency.amount: This property returns the numeric value of the currency amount. It is important to note that this property is read-only after the workbook.Currency object is created. Attempting to modify it will result in an error (READ_ONLY_PROPERTY).
• Currency.id: This property provides the identifier for the currency in use, facilitating currency-based transactions and queries.

How to Create a Currency Object

Developers can instantiate a Currency object using the method workbook.createCurrency(options). This method allows for the setting of initial amounts and IDs, streamlining the process of currency management in various scripting scenarios.

Error Handling

When working with the Currency object, it's crucial to handle potential errors effectively. For instance, trying to set the Currency.amount after the object creation will lead to a READ_ONLY_PROPERTY error. It’s advised to manage object values immediately upon creation to avoid this issue.
