What defines items classified as 'for sale' in NetSuite?

Items classified as 'for sale' in NetSuite are defined by their availability for sale to customers, regardless of how they have been sourced or maintained in inventory. This includes products that are either in stock, on order, or available through a drop shipping arrangement. The key aspect is that these items are designated for commerce and can be offered to customers for purchase, making them available in the business's sales channels.

While options addressing purchased and stocked items might seem relevant, they do not encapsulate the full scope of what can be sold. Items that are specially ordered for a customer, for instance, may not be physically present in the inventory yet still qualify as 'for sale.' This broad interpretation allows businesses to maintain a flexible inventory and sales strategy that meets customer needs without being limited by their purchasing or storage practices.

Consequently, the definition embraces all items that are actively part of the sales process, highlighting the business's readiness to fulfill customer orders, which is the crucial point in understanding what constitutes 'for sale' items in NetSuite.
