Q: I'm getting an SSS\_INVALID\_SUBLIST\_OPERATION error that it failed to update/transform record because of an invalid sublist or non-existent line item. How can I fix this?

A:

Note: This is using SuiteScript 1.0.

1. In NetSuite, set your **Celigo Realtime Import Restlet Runner** log level to **Debug.** Go to **Customization Tab \> Scripting \> Scripts**. 
2. Look for **Celigo Realtime Import Restlet Runner** , then click the **View** link. 
3. Filter on Restlet type. Click the **Deployments** tab, then click the **Celigo Realtime Import Restlet Runner** again.
4. Click the **Edit** link.
5. Set log level to **Debug** , then **Save**. 
6. Click the **Execution Log** tab to view the debug log.
7. In the **Execution Log** , click **Remove All** to clear the log, then re-run the flow for which you wanted to get the debug log to view it here.
8. To try to reproduce errors you receive from nlapi debug logs, open **Script debugger** from **Customization \> Scripting**. Click the **here** link to log in. This will help you track down invalid sublist errors within a large block of code - it will strip out lines of code and try to rerun it to track down which code is causing an issue. You can also step through the code.
9. Select **API version 1.0** in the **Script Debugger**.
10. Paste your script in the top window, then click the **Debug Existing** button. This will execute the code server-side. Be very careful, as this will behave the same as if you ran the flow, but it’s very helpful for debugging.
11. Alternately, you can enter **r=nlapiCreateRecord(...)** OR **r=nlapiLoadRecord(...)** in your browser, but note that this will run it client-side and not server-side, so not all errors may be reported.
12. Try adding mappings for: **celigo\_nlobjTransformRecordType** and **celigo\_nlobjTransformId.** According to [NetSuite](https://docs.oracle.com/cloud/latest/netsuitecs_gs/NSAPR/NSAPR.pdf), **transformType** is the **internal ID** name of the record you are transforming the existing record into. It is a required string data type. transformId is the internalId of the record, such as 555 or 78.
