  • I don't know how other high volume shippers run their warehouse but we are using 3rd party applications designed for high throughput. Without SuiteTalk support Transfer Orders are still useless to us. It appears that 2010.1 doesn't include support either. I will never understand this.... :mad: I have a client is in the…
  • I would have thought that someone would have said "You know, this is a warehouse operation and there is a REALLY good chance customers with external fulfillment and shipping management applications will want to integrate and support this feature. We should make sure to get this done." Well said Steve, and very accurate.…
  • 2010.1 is a few months :) Perhaps that answers my question, but I was thinking a few months meant 2-3, counting from now. ;) Based on previous releases, 2010.1 means Mar-Apr 2010, which is 7-8 months.
  • I am still shocked to learn from Jim that an indexed custom field is searchable from the line item search box. That actually sounds like a bug that shouldn't behave that way, but let's keep it since Jim has found a use case for it! Nick, why are you shocked? :confused: It is actually quite logical. ;) When you type in the…
  • In my case we could really do with search by postcode (zip code), but there isn't a way to do this, is there? Here are a couple of ideas: [LIST=1] [*]Add the postcode in brackets as a suffix to the company ID[LIST] [*]Example: St. Marks School [123456] [*]Since any text in the Customer ID is searchable in Global Search,…
  • We have multiple vendors turned on, therefore one itme contains multiple vendo sku's. I would like the ability to be able to enter the vendor sku on a sales transaction (will save us from having to label every item we receive) but the vendor code does not pull up the item. Do you think creating a custom field called "all…
  • A series of exports/imports can probably get you what you need. I think the easiest would be to export the Contacts, modify as needed to make them be companies, and import as Companies, but not as Individuals. Then import/update the Contacts to associate them with the newly imported Companies. This would keep all contact…
  • We could really use Global Search on List/Record fields as well. Mat, if you will file the ER, I'll vote for it!
  • The potential downside for an accidental transmittal of a premature, un-reviewed, inappropriate price list to a valued set of customers can not be overstated. Since NetSuite does NOT provide any means to prepare a set of price changes prior to releasing, the ONLY way to view the prices for a particular customer or…
  • Jim, when you say "We can now select an Item on any Transaction Line Item just by typing in the Old Item# in the Item box!" is this because the line item box is searching your custom field due to the new indexing, or is it because you also put the old item# in the UPC code field or the Display Name field (which have always…
  • It's different in that it hasn't been done! And... I requested record/list as well as Long Text and Rich Text. I figured, why not. If they fix one they may as well fix them all. The problem is that Long Text and Rich Text are very different types of database fields. Neither one of these lend itself to efficient indexing.…
  • mblank, Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately this will not work on "Generate Price List" form because the form can NOT be customized. So we are stuck with a very dangerous EMAIL button, that we can't even hack the HTML/Javascript to disable the button. I still can't understand why NetSuite produced a new design with…
  • Thanks. Both good ideas. I can see advantages to the first in terms of it making it easier for our users to identify records in the Global Search, but it won't look so neat on invoices, etc. Asher, That's why I made the comment about Company Name. Setup your invoices to show "Company Name", not "Name" or "Name/ID".
  • Wow - and I'm still waiting on my ER to be logged... Mat, How is your ER different?
  • If you use firefox, you can install greasemonkey and manually make a script to hide the button. If we could control/force all of our users to use FireFox, that might be a solution. Our standard is IE8, but each user can choose the Brower they prefer. I guess I don't understand why NetSuite doesn't treat this email button…
  • There is now an option so that the dangerous yellow email button pulls up a dialog box instead of firing off emails without warning. Go to Setup > Company > Printing, Fax & Email Preferences > Email > Use Popup For Main Transaction Email Button. This nicely fixes the problem. Caveat: 'Save and Email' will still fire off an…
  • Jim, you are the man! Works a treat. What suggestion do you have for searching out the serial number? We always seem to be searching this the long way round.....item, serial numbers, all, transactions......... Brett, Glad to hear it's working for you! Sorry, don't really have any ideas on searching for serial numbers,…
  • It's got my vote with this caveat: [LIST] [*]This ER calls for including Long Text and Rich Text as well as List/Record type. [*]We really need ONLY the ability to search on fields of List/Record type. [*]I don't object to the other types being included as long as it does NOT delay release of the ER for List/Record…
  • We can't search by custom item fields... :( Is there a button somewhere on the back-end? Mat, The two key things to do are: [LIST=1] [*]Make sure the "Global Search" box is checked on the Custom Field definition [*]Wait for NetSuite to do the indexing[LIST] [*]This could take up to 24 hours initially[/LIST] [/LIST]HTH.
  • Geez Jim, I didn't think trying to be helpful would receive such a toasting. :p , Sorry Robert, my response wasn't really directed at you. ;) While it might take you only 15 min, it might take others much longer. And if there are a number of date field that have this problem then it will require much more time. Also you…
  • If the new field fixed it, how about importing the old value into the new field via csv import? Should be simple enough to do. . Robert, while this is a possible work-around, most of us don't have time for this type of unnecessary work. Every day I have REAL work that does not get done. I for one don't have time to work…
  • If you want a report that lists all of the items a Customer has purchased, then I think there are several options to create this: [LIST=1] [*]Sales by Item Report -- Customize to add Customer at top of hierarchy, and use the current Item price instead of the actual sales price. [*]On the Customer record view the Sales >…
  • The work-around we have used is to setup a separate Price Level for each Customer. In one account we have about 300 customers. At first I thought this would be unmanageable, but it is working out OK. But I'm sure that as you add customers at some point this would become unmanageable. Other ERP systems offer the concept of…
  • Lily, When will this be corrected? Inconsistencies like this is one of NetSuite biggest challenges. Makes the product much harder to learn and use.
  • You don't need to do anything. This is just a convenience, that it remembers the last form you bulk printed with. Thanks, -e With all other NetSuite forms we can specify a "Preferred" form, and even restrict which forms a particular role can use. Does it work this way with Price List forms?
  • Brett, glad to hear that you got it to work for you. As you can tell, it's a bit tricky. ;)
  • I have created a Sublist using this Pricing Search on the Customer Record. However, it will only show the Price Level prices for that customer if I manually choose the Customer from the Available Filters. I have tried not displaying the Customer filter "in footer", but then it shows no results. As I understand Sublists,…
  • The new release had some consequences on our returns process. The following changes have caused problems in our current process: 1. You can no longer issue more than one RGA to a sales order that has a single line item.. mmiller, Sorry to hear of your problems with the new release. This is the biggest problem I have seen…
  • Are you by chance using "Qty Breaks" for your sustomers? When you do and apply to this search, when viewed on the SubTab it has issues. Sorry, Brett, we are NOT using Qty Breaks. So I don't have any suggestions to offer for this. Good luck.
