how do I delete a Lot Numbered Assembly Item completely that has lots of transactions attached to it

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In order to delete a Lot Numbered Assembly Item that has lots of transactions attached to it, you need to first ensure that there are no dependencies or references to this item in any other transactions or records. Here are the steps you can follow: 1. Identify Dependencies: Use the 'Saved Search' feature in NetSuite to identify all transactions that are linked to the Lot Numbered Assembly Item. You can do this by creating a saved search based on the 'Transaction' and selecting your item under the 'Criteria' tab. 2. Remove Dependencies: Once you have identified all the transactions that are linked to the item, you need to either delete these transactions or remove the reference to the item from these transactions. This might involve deleting or modifying Assembly Builds, Work Orders, or any other transactions that reference the item. 3. Check for Hidden Dependencies: Sometimes, there might be hidden dependencies that are not easily visible. For example, the item might be linked to a tax group or a manufacturing routing. You need to check all such possible dependencies and remove them. 4. Delete the Item: Once all dependencies have been removed, you should be able to delete the Lot Numbered Assembly Item. If you still face issues, there might be some dependencies that you have missed. In such cases, you need to repeat the above steps. Remember, deleting an item with lots of transactions attached to it can be a complex task and requires a thorough understanding of how transactions and items are linked in NetSuite. Always make sure to double-check all dependencies before deleting an item. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
