Is there a clean, reliable way to programmatically query historical inventory levels for an item and location? So far I've tried querying transactions and playing through them to compute a balance at a point in time, but that approach seems slow and error-prone. I'm looking for alternatives

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it appears that there isn't a direct way to programmatically query historical inventory levels for an item and location in NetSuite. The common approach seems to be summing across all inventory affecting transactions, which as you've mentioned, can be slow and error-prone. However, there are a few alternatives that were suggested: 1. Inventory Valuation Detail Report: This report provides historical data for quantity on hand for an item. However, it doesn't seem to provide the available quantity at a historical date. 2. SuiteQL: You can use SuiteQL to query item transactions. Here is a helpful link that was shared: [SuiteQL Item Transactions](https://timdietrich.me/blog/netsuite-suiteql-item-transactions/) 3. Suitelet: A Suitelet was suggested that provides inventory balance history. Here is the link: [NetSuite Inventory Balance History Suitelet](https://timdietrich.me/blog/netsuite-inventory-balance-history-suitelet/) 4. NetSuite Analytics Warehouse (NSAW): NSAW was mentioned as a possible solution as it should have inventory snapshots. However, it was not confirmed if it provides the quantity available at a historical date. 5. Saved Search: You can create a saved search to sum all transaction lines. Remember, these are alternatives and may not provide a perfect solution. You might need to experiment with these options to see which one works best for your specific needs. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
