07/05/2023, 2:05 PMis anyone familiar with setting up and sharing items across subsidiaries, where a different weight unit is in use? it seems to me like it's not really possible to have one subsidiary record/view a weight in lbs, and another subsidiary uses the same item record in kg - further, it looks like in many areas in netsuite, the default weight unit is lbs and cannot be changed that i can see - anyone aware of anything i'm missing?

07/06/2023, 5:27 PMthanks - i think that is where they are leaning - separate items - but they would want them to have the same item name/number as they are technically the same item, just sold in different countries by different subsidiaries

07/06/2023, 5:28 PMso i am suggesting a convention where we have a suffix on the item name/number and strip that suffix out when outputting on PDFs
