Inter Company Item Receiving

Question

We have implemented Cross-Subsidiary Fulfillment for sales orders, but are now facing a challenge with Item Receipts.

When a PO is created under one subsidiary/location (e.g., A) but the goods are delivered to another (e.g., B), the 'To Location' field in the Item Receipt only shows locations under the PO’s subsidiary.

This is causing inventory mismatches between physical and system locations.

Has anyone:

* Found a way to enable cross-subsidiary or cross-location receiving?
* Customize the 'To Location' dropdown to show all locations?
* Used a workaround like scripting, workflows, etc

Would love to hear how others are handling this.

NetSuite doesn’t currently support cross-subsidiary receiving for Purchase Orders. The To Location field only shows locations under the PO’s subsidiary since inventory and accounting are tracked separately by subsidiary.

A common workaround is to receive the items into the PO’s subsidiary/location first, then use an Inventory Transfer or Transfer Order to move them to the correct subsidiary/location.

There’s no native option to make the To Location dropdown show all subsidiaries, but the transfer flow is the recommended approach to keep records accurate.
