Inventory item for purchase exist ? Or it’s for both purchase and sale

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, an inventory item can be used for both purchasing and selling. However, there are ways to control its usage. For instance, if you want to make an inventory item available only for selling, you can set up the inventory items as resale and remove the Expense Account. On the other hand, if you want to stop the purchasing of an inventory item, you can use approval on Purchase Orders (PO) to prevent buying that item. As for kit items, since you can't have inventory of kit items, it wouldn't make much sense to be able to purchase them. If you want to specify if an item goes into inventory vs general overhead expense, you could create two inventory locations in NetSuite for the one item and then specify that location on the PO for where it goes. If you are dividing the purchase into those locations, you could use two line items on the PO with each location. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
