A few weeks ago, I shared a NetSuite SuiteQL query that I had written that is being used by one of my clients to get an item's inventory balance history.
I recently used a modified version of that query in a Suitelet that can be used to lookup the balance history for an inventory item. Transactions that had an impact on the item's inventory balance are displayed in reverse chronological order, up to and including the specified date. Here's an example.
The Suitelet
I'm making the Suitelet available free of charge, and the SuiteScript is included below. The script is also available as a download.

About the Suitelet
You can control the number of rows being returned by adjusting the "historyRows" value in the script, and you can specify that 1 to 5000 rows should be displayed. If you'd like, you can modify the script so that the historyRows value is a script parameter, or add a field so that users can set the value on the form.
The values in the TransID column are links that display the selected transaction in a new tab or window. This can be helpful when you are researching an item's balance history.
The first row of the sublist is styled a little differently than the other rows. Its text is bold, and the row includes a tooltip. I'm using Javascript to manipulate the row.
I hope you find the Suitelet to be helpful. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
