Item defined cost field is not available for non inventory item for purchase

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, the 'Item Defined Cost' field is not available for non-inventory items for purchase. This is because non-inventory items for purchase are typically used for items that your company buys but does not resell or include in inventory counts. These items are often used for internal consumption, such as office supplies or services. The 'Item Defined Cost' field is typically used for inventory items, where you need to track the cost of the item for accounting and inventory valuation purposes. For non-inventory items, since they are not included in inventory counts or resold, there is no need to track the cost in the same way. If you need to associate a cost with a non-inventory item for purchase, you might consider using the 'Expense Account' field instead. This field allows you to specify the account that should be debited when the item is purchased. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
