Creating Item Records
Items are the goods and services you sell to customers, and the parts and raw materials you purchase from vendors. They can also include line items on sales and purchase forms. For example, discounts and miscellaneous charges.
Depending on the product you use and the features you enable, some item types might not be available for you to use. If you have questions about the availability of certain item types, contact your account representative.
To create an item record:
-
Go to Lists > Accounting > Items > New.
-
Click the Item Type you want to create.
For more information, see Item Types.
-
Select a Custom Form.
For more information, see Custom Forms.
-
Enter an Item Name/Number. You can enter up to 250 characters.
This name appears in lists on transactions.
-
If you don't enter a display name, the item name appears in the sales form's Item column.
-
If you don't enter a vendor name, the item name appears in the purchase form's Item column. If you enter a display name, it will print on purchases instead of the item name when Basic printing is used.

-
Enter additional information as necessary. You can enter general information in the item record header. You can also enter information about the available subtabs.
The fields and subtabs that appear depends on the features you have enabled and the type of record you view.

Click Save.
You can also use Item Creation Assistant to create NetSuite items by extracting product information from PDF or TXT files. The assistant processes uploaded files (such as product catalogs) and extracts item data using generative AI. For more information, see Creating Item Records Using the Item Creation Assistant.
