how to convert lot inventory item to inventory item

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it appears that there is no direct way to convert an inventory item to a lot number inventory item in NetSuite. The only option is to recreate the items with the new Item Type (Serialized/Lotted). Here are the steps you can follow: 1. Inactivate the old version of the item. You can add a prefix or suffix (like 'zzz') to the item name to indicate that it's the legacy version. 2. Create a new item with the desired Item Type (Serialized/Lotted). 3. If you need to maintain a link to the transactional history of the old item, you can add a custom field on the new item to reference the old item. Please note that this is not a small task and it's recommended to test the process in a sandbox environment before making this change in production. You should also plan for open transactions and how to handle on-hand balances. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
