Scenario
User needs to update the Effective End Date for multiple Bill of Materials (BOM) Revision records. Doing this manually for each record would be inefficient and time-consuming, especially if you’re managing a large number of revisions.
Solution
To update the Effective End Date of your BOM Revision records using NetSuite’s CSV Import feature, follow these detailed steps:
- Prepare the CSV File:
- Create a CSV file with these essential columns:
- Internal ID: The unique identifier for each BOM Revision record. You can find this by navigating to a BOM Revision record in NetSuite and checking the URL (look for "id=" followed by a number) or by running a saved search that includes the Internal ID field.
- Bill of Material Revision: The name or identifier of the BOM Revision. This ensures you’re targeting the correct record.
- Effective End: The new end date you want to apply. Format the date according to your NetSuite account settings (e.g., MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY).
- Verify that all data is correct—incorrect Internal IDs or improperly formatted dates could cause errors during the import.
- Import the CSV File:
- Go to Setup > Import/Export > Import CSV Records in the NetSuite menu.
- In the Import Assistant:
- Select Supply Chain as the Import Type.
- Choose Bill of Material Revision as the Record Type.
- Upload your CSV file by clicking Select or dragging it into the upload area, then click Next.
- On the Import Options page, select Update (since you’re modifying existing records), then click Next.
- On the Field Mapping page, ensure the fields are correctly mapped. NetSuite should automatically map Internal ID and Effective End, but double-check for accuracy. If mappings are incorrect, adjust them manually, then click Next.
- On the final page, enter a descriptive Import Name (e.g., "BOM Revision End Date Update - Oct 2024") to track the job later, then click Save & Run to start the import.
- Verify the Update:
- Once the import completes, navigate to a few of the affected BOM Revision records in NetSuite to confirm that the Effective End Date has updated as expected.
- For additional verification, check the import status at Setup > Import/Export > View CSV Import Status, locate your import job by name, and review the results. If errors occurred, consult the error log to troubleshoot.
By following these steps, you can efficiently update the Effective End Date for multiple BOM Revision records in NetSuite using the CSV Import feature.
