Available Cost Estimate Types for Each Item Type

When you enable the Gross Profit feature, one or more cost estimate types become available for each item type. NetSuite automatically assigns one of the cost estimate types as the default on item records.

All cost estimate types are not available for all types of items. The following table lists item types, with their available and default cost estimate types.

Note:

Items for purchase that are part of kits or assemblies must use the Purchase Price cost estimate type.
