Expose applied to field on an item line

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, to expose a field on an item line, you can create a custom field and apply it to the line item. This custom field can be set with a persistent line number that does not change even as you add/move lines. This approach was mentioned in the first thread. In the second thread, it was mentioned that you can override a stored field value. If the stored value checkbox is selected, you can simply overwrite the value and it will be stored. If it was not stored, the value would be lost. In the third thread, a user was trying to access the line field 'Back ordered' from a Cash Sale. A suggestion was made to use

${item.quantitybackordered}

in Advanced PDF/HTML Templates, but it was not tested on a Cash Sale. The user found a workaround by creating a custom transaction line field using the following formula as a default value:

{quantityordered}-nvl({quantity},0)

. This formula calculates the backordered quantity by subtracting the actual quantity from the ordered quantity. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
