Invalid item reference key error when importing Assembly Item Components

edited Jun 2, 2025 2:27PM in Ask A Guru 12 comments

I can't get past this error when importing Assembly Item Components. It says "Invalid item reference key xxxxx" where xxxxx is an inventory item name.

When importing, for the reference to each component item, it lets you pick

  • Internal ID
  • External ID
  • Names

I did get it to work once with Internal ID, but I need it to work with names or {itemid} as the reference data.

The NetSuite help says to:

  1. Check the assembly record and its component records to determine if the following fields have values:
    • Unit Type
    • Stock Units
    • Purchase Units
    • Sales Units
  2. Enter values on these fields.
