Do anyone know why I am getting this error "Please choose an item to add" when importing to update existing Invoice lines? I am only updating a custom field on the line item and i do not want to change or update any item, quantity rate or amount data. From the documentation I should be able to use the order line as the primary key to know which lines to update which I did, but still recieved the error.

On that second screen are you choosing Update or Add Or Update? Also on that same screen did you check the Overwrite Sublists option? Also, you're using the internal ID or the overall order in conjunction with Line IDs right?

I am choosing Update only> I am NOT checking overwrite sublists
I am using internal ID of transaction and Line Ids to reference each line
r
Is the line you're trying to update part of an item group?
Or is the item on the line you're trying to update inactive maybe?
Could also try (in a test environment probably) running the CSV import with the opposite of whatever value you have for the Run Server Suitescript and trigger workflows option.

Yes the item is set to inactive

If that's the issue, you probably should do some more research to figure out what's going on. You generally shouldn't mess with that setting otherwise you might get some unexpected results
oh if it's inactive, you'd probably need to reactivate it temporarily to make your update. NetSuite won't mess with items already on orders when you inactivate it, but it won't let you save an order or make an update to one that contains an inactive item.
Basically when you go into edit mode, that item is disappearing from the line it's on because inactive items don't show up in that drop-down. So when the system is going to attempt to save that line again, it's attempting to save without an item populated, which is why you're getting that error.

hmmm ok bummer
let me test that
nope didn't work
still get the same error
I think I figured it out. If you map the Line ID and Item fields (but in your csv the item field is blank) then it worked
weird
actually i remember someone mentioning to try this but I can't find their message anymore so don't know who to thank
