Proper Handling of Internal Company Purchases (Same Item Also Sold to Customers)
Hi all,
I wanted to see if anyone could share best practices for how to handle purchases in NetSuite that are for internal company use, especially when the same item is also sold to customers.
For example, we purchase computer equipment that we use internally (e.g., for employees, testing, or office setups), but we also purchase and resell that exact same equipment to customers.
My initial thought was to:
- Create two separate items in NetSuite for the same part number:
- One as an Inventory Item (for resale)
- One as a Non-Inventory Item for Purchase (for internal use)
- Use the Non-Inventory item when we’re buying for internal consumption, and create a Purchase Order using that item.
