Creating Inventory
Create inventory to add item quantities to your warehouse’s inventory without a transaction such as a purchase order, transfer order, or customer return. When you create inventory, NetSuite WMS generates an inventory adjustment record to increment the stock level for the inventory item.
Creating inventory using an inventory adjustment may affect item costing. For more information, see Inventory Adjustments.
Use caution when you create inventory. Ensure that you add items to the appropriate bins. If you add an item to a bin location you have not defined in your one of your warehouse’s picking strategies, when you pick the item, the system might not suggest the bin to which you added the item. For information about pick strategies, see Defining Pick Strategies.
