Google Sheets onEdit moving rows between sheets with different columns - google-apps-script

Question

I'm trying to create a simple shipment processing flow and want to move rows between two sheets(tabs) using an onEdit checkbox trigger.
Here's a link to my project: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SPO21kAyNX5fEqwkXVjmPASkfHvZ5Tzbq4s7e22VdYg/edit#gid=2005756436
The basic concept is that shipments made up of multiple pieces are input on the first sheet and then copied to the WB_Log sheet. When planning what to load into a truck, a checkbox is used to move the pieces from the WB_Log sheet to the Load_Plan sheet where their loading location will be determined in a column to the right of the checkbox. If a piece or pieces of a shipment will not fit in a particular truck, I want to uncheck the box on Load_Plan and have the row moved back to the WB_Log Sheet.
Here is the onEdit function I found that almost works:
function onEdit(event) {
// assumes source data in sheet named WB_Log
// target sheet of move to named Load_Plan
// getColumn with check-boxes is currently set to column 14 or N
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var s = event.source.getActiveSheet();
var r = event.source.getActiveRange();
if(s.getName() == "WB_Log" && r.getColumn() == 14 && r.getValue() == true) {
var row = r.getRow();
var numColumns = s.getLastColumn();
var targetSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Load_Plan");
var target = targetSheet.getRange(targetSheet.getLastRow() + 1, 1);
s.getRange(row, 1, 1, numColumns).moveTo(target);
s.deleteRow(row);
} else if(s.getName() == "Load_Plan" && r.getColumn() == 14 && r.getValue() == false) {
var row = r.getRow();
var numColumns = s.getLastColumn();
var targetSheet = ss.getSheetByName("WB_Log");
var target = targetSheet.getRange(targetSheet.getLastRow() + 1, 1);
s.getRange(row, 1, 1, numColumns).moveTo(target);
s.deleteRow(row);
}
}
My issue is that Load_Plan has columns to the right of the checkbox that I don’t want moved back to WB_Log. How do I adjust the code so that only the information from columns A:N move from Load_Plan back to WB_Log when the checkbox is unchecked (False)?
Any advice or ideas anyone can lend would be very much appreciated.

Modification points:
When I saw your shared Spreadsheet, "WB_Log" sheet has the checkboxes in the column "N". And the checkboxes are put to the bottom of the sheet. By this, targetSheet.getLastRow() + 1 returns the next row of the buttom of sheet. I think that this is the reason of your issue.
I think that in your situation, when the last row of after row of "B4" is retrieved, the row number can be used.
And, in your script, the columns "A" to "O" in "Load_Plan" sheet are retrieved by var numColumns = s.getLastColumn(). But "WB_Log" sheet has the columns "A" to "N". I think that the retrieved columns are required to be reduced 1 column.
When above points are reflected to your script, it becomes as follows.
Modified script:
Please modify your script as follows.
From:
} else if(s.getName() == "Load_Plan" && r.getColumn() == 14 && r.getValue() == false) {
var row = r.getRow();
var numColumns = s.getLastColumn();
var targetSheet = ss.getSheetByName("WB_Log");
var target = targetSheet.getRange(targetSheet.getLastRow() + 1, 1);
s.getRange(row, 1, 1, numColumns).moveTo(target);
s.deleteRow(row);
}
To:
} else if(s.getName() == "Load_Plan" && r.getColumn() == 14 && r.getValue() == false) {
var row = r.getRow();
var numColumns = s.getLastColumn() - 1; // Modified
var targetSheet = ss.getSheetByName("WB_Log");
var lastRow = targetSheet.getRange("B4").getNextDataCell(SpreadsheetApp.Direction.DOWN).getRow(); // Added
var target = targetSheet.getRange(lastRow + 1, 1); // Modified
s.getRange(row, 1, 1, numColumns).moveTo(target);
s.deleteRow(row);
}

getNextDataCell(direction)
