schedule job to create request item

How to create a request item from schedule job with the Request field of Requested item filled automatically.

[SumanthDosapati]

Hi Rahul,

Use the below script in scheduled job to create an ritm for a catalog item and it will auto set the Request field

var cartId = GlideGuid.generate(null);
var cart = new Cart(cartId);
 //give sys_id of catalog item
var item = cart.addItem('a1e88857db3132003ec57e7dbf96190f', 1);
cart.setVariable(item,"u_requested_for", gs.getUserId()); 
var rc = cart.placeOrder();

Please mark answer correct/helpful based on Impact.

Thanks,

Sumanth
