Automatically Set the Logged in User as Sales Rep in Sales Order or Cash Sale via Workflow

By design, NetSuite sets the sales rep associated with the customer record at Lists > Relationships > Customers. If a different sales rep needs to be assigned to the transaction, users must manually specify the sales rep.

As an alternate solution, create a Workflow that automatically sets the Sales Rep field as the logged in user when creating Sales Orders or Cash Sales:

Notes:
- SuiteFlow must be enabled under Setup > Company > Enable Features > SuiteCloud tab > SuiteScript section.
- This will apply if Team Selling feature is not enabled. According to our FAQ: Workflow (Answer Id: 8078) documentation, "At this time, sublists and their fields are not accessible using the Workflow Manager."
