Item records allow you to track and manage the goods and services your company buys and sells in the course of doing business. This can be done by using two files during the upload: one is for Primary, the other is for Item Members. Below are the steps:
- Note: Values are included on this article to serve as examples. Replace these accordingly when creating the import files.
- Create an import file for Primary with the following column headers and values:
External ID | Item Name/Number
Kit001 | Kit Item 1
B. Create an import file for Item Members with the following column headers and values:
External ID | Item Member Name | Quantity
Kit001 | Kit Member A | 1
Kit001 | Kit Member B | 1
Kit001 | Kit Member C | 1
C. Import the items into NetSuite:
-
- Navigate to Setup > Import/Export > Import CSV Records

- Import Type = Items
