Configuration (Administrator)

The following will need to be performed or verified by a NetSuite Administrator to utilize the function:
  1. The "eXtendPS-DE Vendor Stock" field (field id custcol_extend_promo_vendor_stock) must be visible on the purchase order form's line item fields.
  2. The "eXtendPS-DE User Event" script needs to be deployed on the Purchase Order record type. During a standard installation of eXtendPS-DE, eXtendTech will deploy this script, as it is used for other eXtendPS-DE functionality. As such, this script deployment is usually already present.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can I see live inventory on sales orders like I can on purchase orders?
A: No, live inventory display is only supported on purchase orders. However, you can create a shortcut link on sales orders that will open the Live Inventory search results page for an item, though this requires manual access. A feature request has been recorded to potentially bring a similar functionality to sales orders in a future eXtendPS-DE update.
