Serialized Inventory Item

Serialized inventory item records are used to track information about items which you maintain a stock of. Note that you must first enable serialized inventory items in your NetSuite account before you can access this record type. To enable serialized inventory items, go to Setup > Company > Enable Features. On the Items & Inventory tab, under Inventory, select the Serialized Inventory check box.

For more information, see Entering Serialized Inventory Records.

Usage Notes

Working with Serialized Inventory Items Sublists

The SOAP Schema Browser includes all sublists associated with the serialized inventory item record. See the following information for usage notes regarding specific serialized inventory item sublists. Usage notes are not provided for every sublist type.

SerializedInventoryItemLocations

To provide a locations list, the Multi-Location Inventory feature must be enabled at Setup > Company > Enable Features > Accounting. Otherwise, single entries for each corresponding field can be entered in the regular record fields.

SerializedInventoryItemNumbers

This list is read-only and displays the serial number and quantity on hand for the lot numbered inventory item.

Merchandise Hierarchy Sublist

This sublist is available if the Merchandise Hierarchy feature is enabled at Setup > Company > Setup Tasks > Enable Features, on the Items & Inventory subtab.

Accessing Inventory Detail Data

If the Advanced Bin / Numbered Inventory Management feature is enabled, serialized inventory items include data from a new Inventory Detail subrecord. This subrecord includes quantity on hand and quantity available values per serial number, and if applicable, per bin number.

If this feature is enabled, you must use the 2011.2 endpoint or later to access the newly supported subrecord and the most up to date bin and numbered inventory fields. You need to update any SOAP web services code from a previous endpoint that accesses these fields, to avoid errors or unexpected results.

For more details, see Updating SOAP Web Services Code When Advanced Bin / Numbered Inventory Management is Enabled.
