A Practical Guide to Adding Non-Inventory Items for Sale as a Component of an Assembly in NetSuite

Written by: Thiem 'Bella' Tran

In the world of NetSuite, it's not uncommon to encounter issues when trying to add non-inventory items for sale as a component of an assembly. This problem usually arises when the non-inventory item for sale is inactive or doesn't have an assigned income account. If you've found yourself in this predicament, don't worry! This guide will take you through the steps to fix this issue efficiently.

Step 1: Check the Status of the Non-Inventory Item for Sale

First, you need to confirm whether the Non-Inventory Item for Sale is active or inactive. If the item is inactive, it won't be selectable in sales transactions or as a component of an assembly item.

Step 2: Assign an Income Account

If the Non-Inventory Item for Sale is active but still can't be added as a component of an assembly, it's likely because it doesn't have an assigned income account. To assign an income account:

• 1. Navigate to List > Accounting > Items

• 2. Click on 'Edit' for the Non-Inventory Item for Sale

• 3. Under the Accounting Asset section, select an account in the 'Income Account' field.

• 4. Click 'Save'

This assignment is crucial for the system to know which account to use when the item is entered in transactions.

Step 3: Try Adding the Component Again

With the income account assigned, you should now be able to add the Non-Inventory Item for Sale as a component of an assembly item and use it in sales transactions.

Conclusion

Assigning an income account to a Non-Inventory Item for Sale is an often overlooked but essential step in utilizing these items fully within NetSuite. By following this guide, you should be able to resolve any issues you may encounter when trying to add these items as components of an assembly.
