NetSuite Admin Tips | How to Remove the "Sub-item of" on Inventory Records through CSV Import?

edited Jun 2, 2025 2:33PM in NetSuite Admin Corner

When using the "Sub-item of" field in inventory records, item names can become unnecessarily long, making it difficult to view and organize purchase orders. When there is a sub-item of, the PO Item name format would be < Parent item name: Sub item name>.


Below is a sample of an Item line in Purchase Order record: The red box indicates the parent item; the blue box indicated the sub-item being ordered in the Purchase Order.

Users may opt to remove the "Sub-item of" from inventory records, and it can be done through CSV import, which is a convenient way for businesses with a large number of items to update.
