Sorry guys, but in 6 years I've never known NetSuite to allow edit of the Full Access role. You have to create your own from scratch.

NetSuite will automatically change the Status under certain conditions. See the Online Help under "customer status" for details.

. . . We did not find the standard NS reports very helpful for our needs, and created some custom fields to accomodate such basis things as Status/Update, Resources Needed, Next Step, Next step Deadline & Date NS Last Updated. Anybody had simiar experiences? How did you address? ANy report templates available? I agree the…

Hi. We have just started using ODBC to create reports that were difficult to do in native Netsuite. . . Are you using the new ODBC driver?

Since we are talking about best practices here, my recommendation is to store your documents outside of NetSuite for two key reasons: [LIST=1] [*]NetSuite storage costs far exceed the current market price. [*]Inadequate permission structure in the NetSuite File Cabinet.[/LIST]You can still use the native NS Files tab. When…

Does anyone know how I can go about editing the Admin Password list? I have full access and cannot find a menu to edit our current password list or add new passwords. I tried going in as administrator with my boss's permission and still had trouble. Please help! If you are logging in under the Administrator role, you can…

Great explanation Olivier! NetSuite should hire you to write their documentation. ;)

You could use a pre-printed form to print your order on.

Re: "This Month" I'm also trying to figure out this "THIS MONTH" formula: . Did the "This Month" formula I gave above not work? CASE TO_CHAR({DateCreated},'MMM') WHEN TO_CHAR(sysdate,'MMM') THEN {amount} ELSE 0 END

I would like to write a formula to be used on a transaction search that will allow me to compare 2 date ranges like this month and this quarter. I plan to use a case when date = "this month" then ..... If this is possible I have been able to find any documentation, thanks Tom The most complex part is modeling the "this…

I don't know what you mean by group, or how it would allow me to achieve this. You might try searching NetSuite Help for "groups".

Steve, I don't this is a problem for Oracle, but I'm really not sure about NetSuite. The key to good performance with Oracle, as with any database, is properly designed schemas, and index tuning. You may want to discuss both of these in your meeting with the NetSuite tech-heads. I have created saved searches a number of…

There is an enhancement request # 76715 requesting the ability to set a flag which would allow sales orders in the Pending Approval Status to have the inventory committed. Bill As long as this is OPTIONAL behavior I would not have any objections. But it definitely would NOT work for us as the standard behavior. Until a SO…

I have a number of customers (Overseas) who place orders with me during a monthly period. When the order reaches sufficient value they ask me to ship all the items that are ready to ship at that point. The problem I have is that there is no way to "Suspend the order" ... The simple solution would be for the system to allow…

FireFox 3.5 may be fast, but it doesn't play well with NetSuite rich text boxes, and with form editor. I'm not sure if this is a FireFox issue, or a NS issue.

Dave and Steve, Many thanks for your thoughtful comments. I am still in the process of digesting them, and will respond within the next day or so. Clint, We have not resolved all of the issues I laid out yet. However, I can say that we have designed/customized two records to deal with internal issues. We have a prototype…

By Transaction Mass Delete, do you mean the feature in Setup that deletes all data? That would delete your items as well... No, I am NOT referring to that option. This is a special mass update option that can be turned on by request to Support.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. IE8 looks strong/stable enough that we will do some initial testing, and then, if no problems, roll out to our users.

It takes work for us to prepare and maintain those estimates. This is time spent that we will not be working on other customer needs. So, if you want us to produce and maintain this information at the expense of other improvements we can make, please file an enhancement request, and based on customer interest it can be…

Note that Inventory Adjustment is exposed in Web Services but not Inventory Adjustment worksheet. Thanks for the correction.

Both Inventory Adjustment and Inventory Adjustment Worksheet are exposed to Web Services. But it can be quite tricky to program, especially if you use UOM on any of your Items. I can recommend Celigo, a long-time NetSuite Partner who has a pre-built solution for these kind of imports. Will be much cheaper than you could…

David, The most often used technique is your #2 -- Web Services. To keep NetSuite in sync with an external system you would generally do the following: [LIST] [*]Develop an interface program (let's call it NIS - NetSuite Interface System) that continuously runs to query both systems for changes to be sent to the other…

So, are there any problems now in using Google Chrome with NetSuite 2009.1?

The best choice of browsers for NetSuite is... at least two of them. I tell all my users to start the day with IE and switch to Firefox or Safari whenever something seems to be working incorrectly. It's hard enough getting most users trained on one browser, much less three. So we need NetSuite to make sure everything works…

I have tried creating a separate bundle for each type of customization (one for forms, one for custom records), but this creates duplicates in the account that the bundles are installed in. Abby, Your design of segmenting objects in to a bundle of a single object type or other logical grouping is the best practice in most…

Has anyone used the script available by Netsuite to assist with the physical Inventory module. . . tjaffer, Where can I get this script?

Perhaps you could be more specific about the problems you have with the Inventory Worksheet. Thanks, -e Here's a major issue with the design. From the Online Help: If you use LIFO or FIFO costing, the cost of any item you adjust will be averaged, LIFO or FIFO will be ignored, and your costing history will be lost. To…

What do you mean by "schedule inventory"?

Miguel, Does pc/MRP provide all of the forecasting and materials planning of raw materials that you asked for? I took a quick look at their web site and didn't see this capability.

Miguel, I don't know of any. We are helping a client implement a MRP system that is for moderate-heavy manufacturers. The licensing cost is more than $100K and requires a custom NetSuite interface to be built. The only manufacturing-related NetSuite add-on that I know of is a Warehouse Management System (WMS) eBizNet made…
