title: NetSuite - Generating Multiple Sales Orders from one Estimate (aka Quote)
body: <p>Is it possible to <strong>generate two (or more) Sales Orders for one Quote/Estimate</strong> in NetSuite? </p>
  
  <p>When I ask if it's possible I mean without doing everything manually in SuiteScript. </p>
  
  <p>Specifically we have a custom field added to the Opporutnity &amp; Estimate transaction called custcol_hauler_rate and there are firm business rules disallowing a Sales Order to be generated with more than one distinct hauler rate. </p>
  
  <p>I was hoping that there was a way to <strong>transform a Quote</strong> using a "filter". If I knew there were two distinct haul rates, say $10/ton and $15/ton, than in SuiteScript I could <strong>perform two transform statements</strong> one for the $10 items and one for the $15 items. This sounds too good to be true.</p>
  
  <p>The number of distinct hauler rates on a Quote is usually one, but on it could be half a dozen so if that matters. Otherwise I am leaning towards splitting out the Quote using copy and plucking out items from the copied versions.</p>
