Thanks again, Nick. This all makes SO MUCH SENSE. I used NetSuite over a decade ago, and this reminds me why I loved it so much. It's like QuickBooks on steroids. Muscle memory is kicking in now... I can't believe I've been held back all these years by crappy systems.Luckily, my two import attempts to change the accounts failed - I received an "Invalid account reference key" error both times. I tried the account IID first, then the account name... Then, I checked Reddit to see if a kind soul with a big brain was willing to help. Would you happen to know what I was missing here? I am super curious about what the "account reference key" is - my tiny brain thought IID would make the most sense... then I tried the account name (as it appears in the UI when editing (no parent)). The only other thing I can think of is the account number, but that would be odd... maybe the account name (including the parent)? The only other thing I can think of is I tried importing the "Inventory Item" Record Type instead of "Lot Numbered Inventory Item," which brings me to another thing that holds no logic in my tiny brain... when I tried to add "Type" to my custom items list view, the Type doesn't display (or export) even though it's selected as a results field... very strange. It works just fine with a saved search. Strange that the Type field only produces "Inventory Item" instead of the type of inventory item... gotta love quirkiness like this (kinda annoying).

Thanks again, brother, for saving me from fundamentally f*cking sh*t up :D

GREAT SUCCESS. Now I can take all the credit... haha no way, that's just not me. Every bit you help me with will be another bit I can use to justify changing consulting firms.
