Yes. We've been doing this for years. You just have to use "multiple location inventory". Then create "virtual locations" for each drop-ship vender. Then set the items as using their corresponding "virtual location". Tom

It won't auto-pick the closest location. We have locations like: INV - Our warehouse - IL DS - Acme Widgets - CA DS - Spacely's Sprockets - NY DS - Cogswell Cogs - TX Only the first one is a real location. All with "DS" are drop-ship. We've also assigned each item a location. It is the most likely shipping location, but…

One item can have multiple venders, but from my understanding; Each item can only have one preferred location. The preferred location is used for web-store shipping calculations. I guess you could make multiple drop-ship items (with differing preferred locations) like "abc123-West-Coast-Warehouse" and…

Our Barcode scanner quit working with our netSuite forms. I'm not sure what changed. When we scan ...it drops numbers. So, 12345678 might scan as 1234568. 10 scans in a row might yield one good scan. I ordered a new scanner. Same issue. So, it wasn't the scanner. I increased the font size in our PDF form. Still, same…

Are there any new solutions to this missing feature in NetSuite? We have items that need to go by LTL Freight only. Customers order them with UPS as the method and are mad when we tell them TRUCK ONLY and the price is higher than what was on your order. NetSuite, why have a way to force a per-item shipping method in the…

Whoever thought of this has not appreciated the problem at all Ditto Very few people will want to split an order into two different shipments Ditto Also, unless I'm missing something, this new "Default Shipping Method" preference area has ZERO effect on the WebStore customers. The main reason we wanted an enhancement like…

OK, I guess it is time for "plan D". I've got a custom text field with the ID of {custbodyshipcarrier_cstm} The field applies to the fulfillment record. I need a formula so that {custbodyshipcarrier_cstm} will hold the shipping carrier NAME based on the tracking number. The first three letters of the tracking number can be…

OK, using the following formula (in a custom transaction body field) works... CASE WHEN {trackingnumbers} like '1ZY%' THEN 'UPS' WHEN {trackingnumbers} like 'YRC%' THEN 'Yellow Freight' END What is odd to me is that the field shows "ERROR: Field Not Found" when viewed in the item fulfillment record. The very same filed…

I tried using a custom non-stored text field with a formula value of {shipcarrier} and using the custom field in our email template still doesn't work. T

Yea, we got the "shipping method indicator" working in our account using a custom formula. The only real problem with our tracking number notification setup is that there is a separate email generated for each tracking number. So, an order with 10 packages ...the customer gets 10 emails.…

Is anyone else using fulfillment email templates with {shipMethod} or {fulfillingtransaction.shipmethod} with any success? Is there a different field that should be referenced? Thanks, Tom

I was wrong. They all say "Items that you've ordered have shipped via .". Yes, we do have a name/description for each shipping method. Thanks for the help. Any more ideas would be appreciated very much. -Tom

Thanks Matt! It is an "item fulfillment record" search. So, the filters are like this... Type = item fulfillment Tracking Number = is not empty Date Last Modified = is on 1 days ago Status = is Item Fulfillment:Shipped Location = is any of Warehouse 1, Warehouse 2 Main Line = is true Date Created = is on or after thirty…

I also just tried using {shipcarrier} and it doesn't work either.

Any ideas?

Maybe NetSuite can tell me why this only won't work in our account. T

{fulfillingtransaction.shipmethod} almost works. Now for "regular" shipments, I get... Items that you've ordered have shipped via UPS ground. The only problem is that our "integraded" UPS shipping method returns: Items that you've ordered have shipped via . So, we ship 50% integrated and 50% regular. So, half of our…

We are looking to be within a -10% to +10% margin for small package, +0% to +50% for truck and express shipments, on the average. The higher margins on truck and express reflects the higher costs associated with re-shipments (customer service buffer). That is the type of information I was looking for. We're trying to…

So, {shipcarrier}, {shipMethod} and {fulfillingtransaction.shipmethod} don't work. Is there any other fields that I can try? Should I create a custom field that sources its value from {shipcarrier} and then try using the custom field in the template? T

We buy the same inventory item from different manufacturers located in 7 states. Yea, it won't pick the closest location or anything like that. We would love to have NetSuite calculate the UPS shipping charges from the vendor's Zip code instead of the Home Zip Code. That can be done if you use the multi-location feature…

We got an order yesterday with $0 shipping (UPS ground). There was also a day with broken UPS/NS connection about 4 weeks back. I don't recall ever seeing such problems reported in this UG with FedEx. They've also been courting us lately and we're considering a switch. So, is the problem here with UPS or NS? If the problem…

I feel your pain. We lost thousands of dollars today due to the shipping issue breaking our web store check-out. But, according to NS statistics ...this is "up time". T

I don't think the "drop ship item" setting matters. Either way it should use the specified preferred location for that item. You're basically setting it so NetSuite thinks that the drop-ship company's address happens to ALSO be one of your company's physical locations. T

Same here. We are a mail-order company. So, no front or back office UPS functionality will shut us down. So, is this considered "down time" in the NetSuite downtime statistics? T

The bulk of our time shipping now is spent packaging vs. actually processing the shipment at the terminal. We might be talking about two different processes to begin with. We currently use the standard NS/UPS integration. We never have use world-ship for any part of our shipping process. The person that processes the order…

We have fairly accurate shipping calculations for our drop shipped items. We converted all non-inventory items that we sell to inventory items. It easy to do with the "convert to inventory item" button that was provided. I honestly don't know why we would want to use any non-inventory items for any items that we sell…

The problem appears to be fixed. -Tom

Dave, here is how you display the "fulfillment form" choices in the fulfillment record. Just edit a fulfillment, then click the "customize" button along the top edge of the fulfillment screen. Then make sure "custom form" is checked as a field that should be displayed. It is in the "main" tab under the "screen fields" tab.…

We're also here in U.S. and can NOT processing UPS shipments. We keep getting a generic NetSuite generated "Unexpected error" message. T

OK, I botched the description of the problem. We can already expose the form choices in the item fulfillment. The forms however don't specify the PDF design to be used for printing packing slips from that particular form. The "preferred transaction form PDF layout" is a global default. The PDF packing slips always use our…
