Order Types in NetSuite

edited Dec 6, 2019 2:34PM in General

Hello NetSuite SMEs,

I'm new to NetSuite system, trying to understand and find the best practices in setting up of different Order Types - Drop Ship, Eval, Try-Buy, Buy-Try, Regular order with PO. I know in other ERP systems Order Type defines the accounting entries. What we were told or advised is to setup SKUs in NetSuite and enter accounting details for each SKU.
Examples:
SKU-DS (for Drop Ship)
SKU-Eval (for Evaluations)
SKU-TB (for Try&Buy)

SKU contains both Hardware and Software. 

What I see is SKU proliferation by doing the suggested approach.
Is this correct approach? are there any suggestions or best practices to follow in NetSuite?

Howdy, Stranger!
