Units of Measure (UOM) Problems: Forms and Reports
I have now wasted about 4 hours trying to produce the most basic Inventory Mgt report that one needs. A simple report that has three columns:
[LIST=1]
[*]Inventory Item Name
[*]Quantity on Hand
[*]The Units of the quantity on hand[/LIST]Columns #1 and #2 are easy. Col #3 seems impossible.
I'm not sure what the background of the NetSuite report designers is, but for the engineering and manufacturing world presentation of data WITHOUT units is worse than worthless -- it can be grossly misleading. How did NetSuite overlook such a basic requirement?
In the report designer, when I select any quantity field, it provides an option for the Units: Base, Stock, Purchase, or Sale. This is great!
