Scenario: If it would be possible to default the “Track Landed Cost” checkbox under the PURCHASING/INVENTORY subtab to be checked when creating an inventory item?
Solution: Currently, there is no standard provision in NetSuite for ‘Track Landed Cost’ checked to default. This is an enhancement in the voting stage(Enhancement 157873).
As an alternative, we can create a custom workflow to set the default Track Landed Cost check box under the Purchase /Inventory subtab to be checked when we create an inventory item.
Go to Customiztion> Workflow> Workflow
Enter Workflow Name: Track Landed Cost
Record Type: Item
SubType: Inventory Part
Check the Execute as an admin checkbox
Set Release status as Released
Initiation: Event-based
Event Definition: Tick on create checkbox
Save.
Click the new action and the select set field value.
Under the parameter tab, select field track landed cost and check the static value button and ticked the checked box, and save the same.
Note: The workflow trigger occurred during the inventory item record’s creation mode and checked the ‘Track Landed Cost’ check box under the Purchase/Inventory subtab by default.
If you need, you can override the ”Track Landed Cost’ check box and save the inventory item record.
