Enhancing Item Price Summaries with Custom Labels in NetSuite 2026.1
Learn how to add custom labels for additional item prices in NetSuite summaries to improve clarity in your transactions.
In the latest release of NetSuite (2026.1), a new feature enables users to enhance the clarity of transaction summaries by adding custom labels for additional item prices. This functionality is particularly beneficial for businesses that offer various pricing options for the same item, such as bulk pricing or promotional rates. By implementing these labels, you can provide greater context to your customers and make your summaries more informative.
Enabling Additional Item Prices in the Summary
To start leveraging this feature, you first need to enable the display of additional item prices in your summaries. This can be done by navigating to the product record and checking the option titled Show additional item prices in Summary. Once this is activated, you can proceed to add custom labels for each additional item price.
Adding Custom Labels
- Access the Additional Item Record: Head over to the additional item record in the NetSuite CPQ Configurator (version 1.9.1).
- Input Your Label: In the provided Label field, enter the desired text that will appear in the summary for that particular item price.
- Fallback Option: If you choose not to enter a specific label, the standard Name of the additional item price will be used instead.
Utilizing Resolve Expressions
For more advanced customizations, you can utilize resolve expressions to dynamically source labels based on user-selected answers in the product interface. This feature allows for a more personalized shopping experience, as it can adapt the summaries to reflect the choices made by your customers. To learn more about implementing resolve expressions, refer to the relevant NetSuite documentation on Obtaining Answer Data with Resolve Expressions.
