how can I mass update my preferred bin locations for assembly items

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To mass update your preferred bin locations for assembly items, you can use a CSV import. This will allow you to upload the bins to the items and identify the preferred bin for each item. Here are the steps: 1. Prepare a CSV file with the necessary information. This should include the item internal ID and the preferred bin number. 2. Navigate to

Setup > Import/Export > Import CSV Records

. 3. Select the record type as 'Item'. 4. Choose the CSV file you prepared and follow the prompts to map the CSV columns to the appropriate fields in NetSuite. 5. Run the import. Please note that you must have all of the bins identified on the items first. After the import, you can use the bin put away worksheet to move the items to their respective bins. If you need to assign the stock to a different bin other than the default receiving bin, you might need to do it manually or write a custom script for it. As for sourcing the preferred bin of an assembly item being built on a work order onto the Bill of Material advanced PDF template, it seems there might be some limitations. If there are multiple bins on that assembly item, the bin with the lowest internal ID is returned. You might need to iterate through the bins with a loop to programmatically identify the correct one. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
