How to submit a catalog item from script?

karthikbabu · ‎02-21-2019

Hi All,

I am trying to create an automatic ticket every month on 1st. The ticket should be created as a RITM which means it should be created from an existing catalog item (in our case "ADHOC item). it should follow the catalog item workflow.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Karthik

The cart API isn't instantiated via a GlideRecord. Also, you're not defining "adhoc" anywhere in your script.

Try this:

var cartId = GlideGuid.generate(null);
var cart = new Cart(cartId);
 //add your requested item to the cart by sys_id of the catalog item
var item = cart.addItem('4054428fdb151f0097679ec6db9619c0', 1);

//fill in the variables on the request item form
cart.setVariable(item,"u_requested_for", "e80edd6edbec6bc097275e25ca9619a4"); 
cart.setVariable(item,"contact_number", "0");
cart.setVariable(item,"assignment_group", "87ec1c342b2e71406c487fb5a8da1524"); 
cart.setVariable(item,"application_service", "cdedfbcedb0f9744c291c170ba9619a7");
cart.setVariable(item,"short_description", email.subject);
cart.setVariable(item,"description", email.body_text);
var rc = cart.placeOrder();

After that, run your script to set your requested for values on sc_request or sc_cat_item (as you did in your example). A side note, you should revisit that GlideRecord. I don't know where you're getting "email.body_text" from (assuming you're running this on a schedule as you mentioned in your original post) and your variables a and ritmSysID seem a little out of place, as you're not doing anything with them.

I agree with you Sachin. But we are in Jakarta version and flow designer starts from Kingston.
