NetSuite Connector Product Sync for Items

Kit Items and Item Groups

Kits are individually sold items composed of other items. You can add the following to your kits or packages:

• Description

• Inventory

• Non-inventory

• Other charge

• Service

• Kit

• Gift certificates

• Assembly items

NetSuite Connector syncs the inventory level of the component with the lowest stock, which determines how many kits or item groups you can fully assemble.

For instance, a shower or bath kit might include body wash, a loofa, shampoo, conditioner, and other items. These items are sold together as a kit, but you can also sell each component separately.

Kit items are listed on your marketplace or cart like any other item, but the kit itself doesn't have a quantity. Kit item inventory is tracked by the individual components, not the kit itself. The kit item record doesn't show an available quantity. The kit item's quantity is determined by the component with the lowest stock. If you view a kit item SKU in NetSuite, the quantity is 0. But when NetSuite Connector lists the kit on your marketplace or cart, it uses the quantity of the component with the lowest stock. The following is an example:

Assembly Items

An assembly item is an inventory item made up of multiple components, but it's treated as a single item. Assemblies are made by combining the raw materials you have in stock. After you create assembly item records that become the members of an assembly, you can track both the raw materials and the assembled items separately. For example, a bike is an assembly item made up of components like wheels, frame, handlebars, seat, and other parts.

Assembly items are listed on your marketplace or cart like any other item. Assembly items sync inventory like kit items, using the quantity of the component with the lowest stock. However, the assembly item itself can also have a quantity. NetSuite Connector can sync the assembly item's quantity to the marketplace or cart, instead of using the component's quantity. The following is an example:

In this example, if the bike has a quantity of 2, NetSuite Connector will either sync 2 or 5.
