To use custom item number fields, make sure at least one of the features in the preceding list is enabled.

To create a custom item number field

  1. Go to Customization > Lists, Records, & Fields > Item Number Fields.

  2. The Custom Item Number Field page lists each custom field, showing details about the field and which records use it. Choose an option:

    • To edit a custom item number field, click the field name in the Description column and then modify the field definition as needed.

    • To add a new custom item number field, click New.

      For more information, see Creating a Custom Field.

  3. Fill in the required fields on the Item Number Field page, and then click Save.

When you create a lot numbered or serialized inventory item or edit an existing record, you can add the custom field to the item if it's not already applied to all items. On the item record, click the Custom subtab. In the Inventory Number Options field, press Ctrl and select all the item number fields you want to add to the item. Then click Save.

You can use SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF) to manage custom item number fields as part of file-based customization projects. For information about SDF, see SuiteCloud Development Framework. The Copy to Account feature lets you copy a custom item number field to another one of your accounts. Each custom item number field page has a clickable Copy to Account option in the upper right corner. For information about Copy to Account, see Copy to Account.

Here is an example of a custom item number field.
