what is the most efficient way to write off units associated with serialized items in inventory?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The most efficient way to write off units associated with serialized items in inventory in NetSuite involves the following steps: 1. Export the original item record: This is a crucial step to ensure you have a backup of the original data. You can do this by creating a saved search that includes all the fields and attributes you want to export. 2. Update existing items to Inactive: This step is necessary to prevent any new transactions from being associated with the items you're about to write off. You can also rename the items to help differentiate them from the new serialized items you'll be creating. 3. Import new serialized item records: This is where you actually create the new serialized items. You can do this by importing the same list you exported in step 1, but with the item type set to 'Serialized'. Please note that this process will require you to recreate the items as a second SKU because an inventory item and a serialized item are considered different item types in NetSuite. Also, be aware that any in-process transactions will be a bit painful until inventory is depleted, and those items should be left active. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
