Item Fulfillment in Netsuite

Item Fulfillment In Netsuite

It is a transaction which records the shipment of items on an order to the customer.
When Sales Order gets approved then status become Pending Fulfillment or Pending Billing
based on preference selected.

Pending Fulfillment. If user is creating from UI then user will see
Fulfill button on base record i.e “Sales Order/Transfer Order/Inter company transfer / 

Vendor Return Authorization”. Using Scripting and web services it should be transform from base

record. Item Fulfillment have 3 stages, picked packed and shipped. 
IF can be fulfilled partially or fully.
We can invoice only those lines which are fulfilled. 

IF usually have tracking number and serial number, if any item is serialized then serial number is

required. We can create PO and receive PO for serialized item. We will write whole post on 
serial number and how to enter in system later .

Here the dependency of Advanced Shipping feature is:

1. If the feature is not enabled, the fulfillment and invoicing processes are combined.
   When an item fulfillment is created, a related invoice is created at the same time.
2. If the feature is enabled, fulfillment and invoicing are two independent processes, 
   and shipments can be recorded separately from billing.
   

Points to remember:

1. Item Fulfillment cannot be created or copied through scripting.
   
2. Only update, delete and search can be done through scripting.
One can initialize an item fulfillment from Sales Order, Transfer Order,

 Inter company Transfer Order, or a Vendor Return Authorization.
