We've an odd one with Intercompany Procurement. We order from our supplier a spare parts package, and the supplier creates this package based on the requirements. So our PO says spare parts package x 1. The invoice says the same - spare parts package x 1 However, when it gets delivered our delivery note lists all 100+ items in that package and we need to put the parts in different locations within the warehouse. What is the best practice to adjust the inventory, so for example Spareparts package - old qty = 1, new qty = 0 part 1 - old qty = 0, new qty = 1 part 2 - old qty = 0, new qty = 1 part 3 - old qty = 0, new qty = 1 etc We would also want to have the value of each part stored. We did try to update the original PO but the system says that the PO needs to match the Sales Order. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

This is a common inventory scenario. Instead of modifying the original PO, the usual approach is to receive the spare parts package as ordered, then use an inventory transformation or unpacking process to convert the package into its individual components while allocating the value across each part. That keeps the purchasing documents consistent and your inventory accurate. I've helped implement similar workflows before, and I can help you find the best approach for your ERP setup. @BullgillRunner

Do we need to use the NetSuite Ship Central SuiteApp to do this?

Not necessarily. The NetSuite Ship Central SuiteApp is mainly designed to streamline warehouse shipping and receiving operations, not to unpack purchased kits into individual inventory items. For your scenario, the better approach is usually to receive the package as a single line (to match the PO and vendor bill), then use an inventory adjustment, assembly build/unbuild, or a custom unpacking workflow depending on how the spare parts package is modeled in NetSuite. This also allows you to assign quantities and allocate the package cost across the individual components. I'd first want to understand whether the "spare parts package" is set up as an assembly item, kit/package item, or a regular inventory item, as that will determine the cleanest solution. If you can share how it's currently configured, I can recommend the best-practice approach.

The spare parts package is just one item in NetSuite as a "Spares package", we don't know what will be in the package until it is delivered. The content is decided by the manufacturer. We will, for example, order a spares package to maintain a certain piece of equipment for a 12 month period. The one I am dealing with at the moment has 190 different components of varying quantities.
