A straightforward NetSuite configuration allows for manual entry of lot numbers onto a custom transaction column field, ensuring they appear on packing slips for kit items.
Short answer
To display lot numbers on packing slips for kit items in NetSuite, implement a custom transaction column field on the Item Fulfillment record. Users manually copy the selected lot number from inventory details into this custom field. This field is then configured to print on the packing slip, providing a simple, cost-effective solution for lot number visibility.

The challenge arises in ensuring that the specific lot number selected during the item fulfillment process is accurately reflected and printed on the customer-facing packing slip document.
Solution
The solution involves creating a custom transaction column field on the Item Fulfillment record. During the item fulfillment process, after a lot number is selected within the inventory details, the user manually copies this lot number value and pastes it into the newly created custom field. This custom field is then configured to print on the packing slip, effectively displaying the lot number for kit items. This method offers a practical, training-oriented approach without additional cost.
