SOME FACTS ABOUT NETSUITE USER EVENT SCRIPT
Category : NetSuite suitescript
User Event scripts are server side scripts which are executed when users perform certain actions on records, such as create, load, edit, copy, delete, submit,approve, reject, xedit, cancel etc.
As a specialized netsuite implementation and netsuite solution provider
we first want you to understand:
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF USER EVENT SCRIPT?
To validate field values, to add custom fields, buttons, hide existing buttons and fields, sending emails, restrict user actions etc.
WHAT ARE THE USER EVENT SCRIPT FUNCTIONS?
User Event Script has three functions or trigger points:
Before Load – A Before Load event occurs when a user clicks Edit,View, Make Copy, Email, Print on an existing record, or clicks New to create a new record.
Before Submit – Event occurs when a record is submitted, but before the changes are committed to the database. A Before Submit event occurs when a user clicks Save or Submit on a record.
After Submit – event occurs after the changes to the record are committed to the database. An After Submit event occurs after a user clicks Save or Submit on a record.
CAN WE CALL A USER EVENT SCRIPT FROM OTHER SCRIPTS?
User Event Before Submit or After Submit functions can be triggered from other scripts by submitting the record on which user event script is deployed. But a user event script cannot be called from another user event script and it also doesn’t trigger when you submit a custom record via other scripts.

Yes. This can be done from deployment page.
