It’s that time of the year again! As we embrace the holiday cheer, we want to share an important announcement regarding our holiday schedule. Our dedicated team of NetSuite Support Gurus will be taking a short break to recharge during the holidays, from December 24, 2024, to January 1, 2025. We’ll be back in full swing, ready to assist you on January 2nd. During the break, feel free to explore the wealth of NetSuite resources on our platform.
As we celebrate the season's joys, we are incredibly grateful for your ongoing support and engagement. Have a fantastic holiday break, and let's gear up for an incredible 2025!
Here are some examples to get your creative juices flowing.

Order entry & inventory commitment vs allocation
We've been on NetSuite for close to 3 years now. Given the C-19 period that we're going through, this is the first time that we are facing inventory stock-out challenges. Unfortunately, we don't seem to be able to manage this situation properly in the system.
Here's our challenge. Let's say that we have 3 orders in the system for part A (100 cs in stock):
- Order 1: 10 cs
- Order 2: 20 cs
- Order 3: 50 cs
What I'm asking my team is to protect some specific customers, and sprinkle inventory around:
- Order 1: 0 cs
- Order 2: 5 cs
- Order 3: 10 cs
And I want to keep 85 cs in stock for future customers orders that I would like to sprinkle to. I still want to capture the true customer demand, and not remove the sales order lines from NS and run stock-out opportunity report based on the difference of shipped vs ordered. When we use the reallocate module in NetSuite we cannot leave any orders are zero (0), and keep a portion of the inventory for future orders that will come in at a later time.
