I am on an inventory item that uses the units of measure from NetSuite. The Primary Sales and Primary Purchase Unit lists include Case of 5, but the Primary Stock Unit does not. Shouldn't they all pull from Lists - Accounting - Units of Measure?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
In NetSuite, the Primary Stock Unit, Primary Purchase Unit, and Primary Sales Unit are all derived from the Units of Measure that you create. Normally, you define multiple units of measure and use what you want/need at the Item Level. However, it's important to note that NetSuite will default the primary stock unit of measure to all inventory related transactions and reports. You can select a different Unit of Measure (UoM) within the assigned Unit Type for transactions, but not for reports. In your case, if the Primary Stock Unit does not include 'Case of 5', it could be because it was not defined in the Units of Measure. You can check this by going to Lists > Accounting > Items and selecting 'All' in the View field. If 'Case of 5' is not listed in the Units of Measure, you will need to add it. If you need to use a different unit for retail sales, you can create a custom field with a list of values (Each, Bag, Pack, etc.) that you want to use for retail. However, this list will only contain text values and there will be no direct link to the Unit Type assigned to the item, or the individual Units that make up that particular Unit Type. To make this custom field behave like the native fields, you can turn your list of values into a custom record. Then you can add multiple fields to your list, such as Name, Units type, Unit of measure, and Conversion rate. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
