Just like expiration date on inventory number subrecord on Item Receipt, can we have a custom field for manufacturing date in inventory number subrecord. Is there any feature need to be enabled? Does NetSuite have any functionality of Production/Manufacturing date? or any way to create a custom field in inventory number subrecord that is visible in IR subrecord?
As far as I am aware, it is not possible to add a custom field to the inventory detail subrecord. Checking the CUSTOMISATION > LIST, RECORDS & FIELDS NS menu (using the administrator role), this sub-record is not available. I have, however, in the past re-created the subrecord using a Suitelet and a saved search which auto-populates the item lines with additional columns. Perhaps this route is a potential solution for you too.
I have recently encountered this in an implementation. We were requested to add the Gross Weight and Net Weight fields in the Inventory Details window.
We used a SuiteApp called Lot Auto Number (Answer ID: 100706).

In Netsuite go to
Customization -> Lists, Records, Fields -> Item Number Fields
If you have a production run you either have lot numbered or serialized inventory. You can make the field applicable to all Lot Numbered or all Serialized or to just specific skus.
Note that the items need to have been created as lot numbered or serialized items. If the items you want to use were not created as such then you’ll need to replace them with new items. If you want to use the same skus for the new items you’ll need to rename the original items.
In my customer record, I have a field called Membership Status. So the membership will change from Regular member to Prime member once a member purchase a particular item. Is there any way to update the field after the Invoice creation?
Thanks in advance!
Yes. Use an afterSubmit() event on a User Event script deployed on the invoice record. Search the invoice item lines for the item, and if found use record.submitFields(options) to update the field on the customer record.
If you are making other changes to the customer, you could use record.load(options) to load the whole record instead and then use the Record Object Methods to modify and save the record.
For updating a small number of body fields, submitFields() will usually be more performant, but if you need to manipulate sublists or subrecords, you need to load the record.
On the vendor record, I need to loop over the Subsidiaries sublist through a scripted search, to get all of the values. I am specifically trying to find vendors that do not belong to a particular subsidiary.
UPDATE
To clear up my question, I was trying to access the Subsidiaries sublist and not the actual primary subsidiary. However NetSuite said that this is currently not possible and is a requested enhancement.
bluejay92, the vendor search has a join to the subsidiary record, see attach screen shot. You can even check "use expressions" to gain access to the NOT function in the criteria.
Workaround:
1 - Create a user event script that runs after the record is created/edited.
2 - Have the script load the record, get the subsidiaries and create a custom record to save the info so you can search it later.
3 - Export all vendors internal ids in 1 column. Run a CSV import of vendors and map internalid csv column to internalid field to trigger the user event script and populate the custom records.
Extra tip: Make sure the script does 'upserts' to the custom record to avoid duplicates. There should be one record per vendor.
I have created a custom checkbox and I have to mark it to true whenever any thing is changed on the record. My problem is I do not have to use lastmodified date because lastmodified is not working as all the items are coming in search. Whenever an item is shipped, it's inventory is changed but i would like to know on which context it changes. It is possible to do with workflow. How?
Inventory change is via different record types in NetSuite, and will not be via item.
I think you will need to write User Event Script or workflow on following record types to detect all Inventory changes:
1) Item Fulfillment
2) Item Receipt
3) Item Transfer
4) Inventory Adjustment
Apart from these there are other mechanism to make an impact on inventory, I am not sure if NetSuite allows user event script or workflows on these:
1) Inventory worksheet
2) Physical Count
For the case of Item being shipped from a Sales Order an Item Fulfillment is created, so, you can deploye your workdlow or user event on Item Fulfillment in that case.
Edit: Transfer Order isn't applicable as #bknights suggested. Inventory alterations would be actually made by Item Fulfillment/Receipt records in case of Transfer Orders.
Is there a way to create promotions in Netsuite 2016.1 so that items can have individually lowered prices? I know how to reduce items by percentages and how to set a flat price for all items, but I'm trying to allow individual items to have different temporary prices. Does Netsuite have this capability, or should I begin creating it via SuiteScript and custom records/fields?
Thanks!
Try the pricing groups feature of NetSuite. This lets you set a custom price for a set of items, which can then be assigned to various customers. This is primarily meant for negotiating prices with a large customer.
You might be able to use this feature to set temporary prices by switching the pricing group on and off for different customers with a script.
I am not aware of any way to temporarily set specific prices.
A thing I've done in the past was to create a set of custom fields and scripts that did the following for a Daily Specials program.
Take a group of products and copy their current on-line price to another field;
Update their online prices to a pre-determined value
assign them to a "Daily Specials" category.
set a custom checkbox field so that the item thumbnails could be easily bannered in a category list
A daily batch inspected a configuration table for that day's specials. It cleared all the current specials(prices back; remove from category; clear checkbox) and then assigned that day's specials.
this was driven by a table that allowed the product manager to schedule products based on seasonality and availability.
