Non-Inventory Items as Base Items in NetSuite 2024.1

Starting in NetSuite 2024.1, the CPQ Configurator (version 1.2.5) has introduced the ability to use non-inventory items as base items in configurations. This enhancement is significant as it expands the flexibility users have in setting up pricing and configurations for transactions involving various item types.

Key Changes

Previously, only inventory items, assemblies, and kit/packages could be designated as base items. With this update, you can now utilize non-inventory items in similar configurations, enabling:

• Enhanced customization: Users can now select non-inventory items for transaction configurations, improving the adaptability of inventory setups.
• Direct integration: Non-inventory items can interact seamlessly within the CPQ ecosystem.

New Fields Added

To support this new functionality, two important fields have been added to the Custom subtab of non-inventory items:

Who This Affects

This change primarily impacts:

• CPQ Administrators: Responsible for setting up and managing product configurations.
• Sales Teams: Those using the CPQ for customer-facing transactions involving non-inventory items.
• Developers: Engaging with the APIs to implement further customizations based on this new feature.

Using non-inventory items as base items streamlines the process of configuration and pricing in transactions. This is especially beneficial for industries that heavily rely on services or non-stock items in their configurations.

Key Takeaways

• Non-inventory items can now be used as base items starting in NetSuite 2024.1.
• New fields in the Custom subtab allow enhanced configuration options.
• This update impacts CPQ administrators, sales teams, and developers alike, optimizing transaction setups.

Implementing this change can significantly enhance your transaction processes, allowing for greater flexibility and efficiency in meeting customer needs.
