 ACCESSING SUBLIST LINES - FEATURE OVERVIEW
• SuiteScript is no longer required to access transaction sublist lines via workflow.
• All Transaction records with an Items sublist are supported.
• All transaction body fields are supported, but only a subset of sublist fields are accessible.
• Sublist fields represented as ‘<field> (Line)’ in SuiteFlow dropdown lists, i.e. Quantity (Line).
• Sublist line fields can be referenced in formulaic conditions:
{line.quantity} or {line.rate}={line.rate}*.25

 SUBLIST ACTION GROUPS
• Similar to standard Workflow Action Groups.
• Conditions can be defined at the group and individual action level.
• Sublist Action Groups can be scheduled for execution, but not the individual actions in the group.

Only transaction body fields available for evaluation

Transaction body and line fields available for evaluation

• Sublist Action Groups and their individual actions can be bundled with SuiteBundler.

 SUBLIST ACTION GROUPS – SUPPORTED ACTIONS
• Create Record and Set Field Value
• Must be configured on server triggers (except BRL).

group/action to be executed on sublist lines.

 HOW IT WORKS

Sublist Action Groups process the Items sublist line by line. As long as the group and action’s
conditions have been met, the actions will be executed on each sublist line.
