Tracking Deferred Revenue Items as Used
Our NetSuite was originally set up to track items that we buy a license for each item. NetSuite tracks how many we purchased, how many we have used, and when we need to re-order.
We have recently started to allow users to buy in bulk. But this creates issues in our license tracking.
1) The item fees are considered deferred revenue until they are used. ie a customer buys 10,000 in bulk, but only uses 1,000 a month. We can count 1,000 a month as revenue.
2) We don't want to take the licenses out of inventory until they are used.
3) We need an item to enter the bulk purchase.
