Miguel, So are you looking for a NetSuite add-on that has the same functionality as pc/MRP?

The short answer is probably yes. The longer answer is that I'm just gathering information at this point. Our manufacturing folks will need to weigh in before a final decision is made. My presumption is that functionality similar to pc/MRP would be sufficient for our needs. At this point it seems our choices are to abandon…

Does anyone know of an add-on to NetSuite with MRP functionality? I'm looking for a tool that will spit out what parts to order and when, based on my current inventory levels, open PO's, lead times, open orders, and forecast. Does this exist? Thanks, - Miguel Miguel, May I ask what is your budget or price range for this…

Was your OneWorld account implemented by NetSuite Professional Services or by a NetSuite Partner?

NetSuite can not create a Production Schedule. It is NOT a MRP system. We are currently developing an interface between NetSuite and a high-end MRP system that will produce a Production Schedule, as well as do Demand Planning. This is a MRP system used by major manufacturers, and would probably seem expensive to many…

Yes, the prices carry over, but that's because its a "copy" feature. I often want to keep prices the same for certain customers. . I can see common use cases for both approaches: (1) keep the same prices; and (2) update prices to current. It seems it would be easy enough to add a button to "Refresh All Prices" which would…

There must be hundreds of requests for it then.... Well, I could tell you if the Enhancement Search didn't have a design flaw. ;) I can tell you the ER# is 96772, which makes it quite old, probably 2-3 years old. Finally found it in my issues. SLT = 991, which is about 2.7 years. :) Probably a lot of people just give up…

We do have everyone involved in the design process ... It is interesting that, AFAIK, no customer in this UG, or anywhere else for that matter, has indicated that they have been involved. I know you have told us that you have customers involved, Evan, but it is sure hard to believe when we see some of the really, really…

This is long overdue.

Is there an enhancement available that would allow us to create custom pricing that is item/customer specific? . We have this same exact requirement. The only solution that I know of which is currently available is to create a separate Price Level for each Customer. We have found this works fairly well for up to several…

Sounds like you're asking for the current feature set to be enhanced :D *ducks* No question that what I described is an enhancement. Ducking not required. ;)

While we're on the topic of Price List enhancements, could I make another appeal for something that you might call a "Price Sheet" for customers. You could create one or more "Price Sheets" for each customer, with each Price Sheet having an effective date range. The Price Sheets contain ONLY those items which you have…

Cecelia and Damon, Thanks for your comments and suggestions.

Jim, This is interesting. I'm curious as to what exactly you will be tracking related to the retailer. Just their locations, for example? And if so, would you need multiple locations per retailer? We need to track the Retailer just like they were a customer. The Sales reps will call on them, try to develop use of our…

The implementation of the MRP system has been delayed. However, we have developed a number of tools in NS that greatly aid in manufacturing. We have a fairly decent Production Plan (not schedule) that tracks and displays in real-time the qty of all items to be made based on orders. Other tools we have developed: [LIST=1]…

2009.2 will tentatively include the ability to provide an absolute price per item on the customer record. Thanks, -e That sounds very interesting Evan. Could you also consider allowing us to add/edit prices for a given Price Level? By this I mean display a form for a given Price Level, and then add/edit Items and Prices,…

I'd like to know, if we can apply the price level for customers but not for all items (discount displayed depends on customer and on item)? this will be a great feature if it is exist in NS We have this same requirement. If you create one Price Level for each customer, and then enter prices for that level for ONLY those…

Support will not make this judgement, other than to set an initial issue type. Thanks, -e Evan, When Support responds with a statement of "the behavior is as designed", who has made that determination? I believe that Angela's point is that there needs to be a procedure to handle the case where your customer wants to report…

We also have this requirement. The only way I know how to do this is to create a unique Price Level for each Customer. Many ERP systems like MS Dynamics GP provide a feature called "Customer Price Sheets". Not only does this allow you to specify the items and prices specific to each customer, it also allows you to set an…

Actually, ER# 133310 - Ability to Print Price List for Customers, is a better ER. These two ERs should be combined. For more info see NS UG thread: Generate and Issue Price Lists

FYI, scheduling item pricing changes to take effect in the future is enhancement request 71124.. We have just voted for this very important ER. This is an extremely important feature that is needed by many of our clients. This is needed by any company that does regular business with established customers, where the…

John, You should be able to create "Saved Searches" for most all records, and then export as CSV (an option at the bottom of the Saved Search display. HTH.

"Also it would help greatly if NetSuite would offer free (or least inexpensive) online training." Hi Jim. Do you know of any examples of online training modules that you feel are particularly effective in this regard? As always, we are constantly looking for ways to flatten the learning curve. Yong, I really like the…

I think customizability (is that a word?) is something that makes Netsuite generated online training of little value. That has certainly been our experience. As soon as a company's forms and processes change from the standard Netsuite way, in-house training is the only thing that works. Mark, You're assuming that everyone…

dont think the learning curve will get any flatter. Its ERP stuff remember. Not just a simple crm system. Ray, I believe the learning curve can be significantly reduced. The key is consistency of UI design. We have discussed this extensively in other threads. Also it would help greatly if NetSuite would offer free (or…

The same problem exists with entering names anywhere in NetSuite. For example: [LIST] [*]Employee Name [*]Contact Name[/LIST]On the form design it shows only one field: Name. You can make this mandatory, but it only makes the first name mandatory. The logic and use case for this is a world class mystery. ;)

My frustration is relative to other topics where users suggest a definitive/cumulative source of information. There are so many userful posts in the UG, but getting real value requires panning for gold in too many streams. I need a more time-efficient and effective way to read "our" best practices. In my opinion, this…

Steve, If you will do a forum search on "internet connection", "netsuite performance", etc. you will turn up quite a few helpful posts on this subject. HTH.

True, but his vendors want it in csv or XLS. Very different from XML, and also a lower tech solution for smaller companies who can't afford EDI. Once you have an XML file, its very easy to convert to almost any other file in a reliable way, including XLS, and CSV, and to load into a DB in a proper relational manner. CSV is…

What we really need is a BATCH email process. IMO it is dangerous to "save & email" because you have little opportunity to review the invoice for correctness. Many companies require some type of review of invoices (by sales rep and/or manager) BEFORE it is sent to the customer, whether it is mailed, emailed, or faxed. It…
