Hi Mark, Thanks for your help. Got everything outputting the way I want to in CSV, but for some reason the URL is not displaying any of what you are referring to. So I can't hyperlink it to the body field of the transactions. https://system.netsuite.com/app/comm...nl?searchid=## Could it be the https protocol maybe…

Mark, We are still trying your solution. I also notice that the quantity field doesn't work. We have both inventory and non-inventory items that are drop-shipped from the same PO. Using the "quantity" field in our results, it displays negative numbers for non-inventory items and positive numbers for inventory items. It…

Okay so now NetSuite will create a workflow model, I am sure this will be an add-on, for an additional $4000 for the year, then an additional model will be created and be called the advanced workflow model for an additional $4000, totaling $8,000. If NetSuite tries to compete with salesforce as Phillip Weekes requested…

If you could deploy scripts through a UI, I would be in Heaven. Agree, needed. Create and deploy through a UI that requires little if any scripting knowledge. Maybe a UI similar to the "if/then" rules that can be set-up in many email programs. Maybe even an ability to record steps like many macro making programs do. The…

1) E-mail alerts can be sent according to a schedule, instead of (or in addition to) upon record creation/change. This allows periodic "pings" or even drip marketing (send this e-mail to every lead that is exactly 30 days old). 2) Complete customization of from address, subject, and content of e-mail. This includes…

Using marketing workflow as an example; We already pay enough for NS and so I don't want to pay a programmer to set-up drip marketing. I should be…

The trend graphs aren't helpful (to us) until the trend line is fixed. Your idea would also be nice ...but I think the graphs should be fixed before overlaying two inaccurate graphs on top of each other. Currently, if you have it set to average 10 time units (months, weeks, days), the first 9 points on the "trend line"…

If NS = Nieman Marcus and CityMax = Wal Mart....then surely the Nieman Marcus of e-commerce should have all of the e-commerce features offered by the bargain shopper's Wal Mart of e-commerce. But do they? > Lets pay right and demand a lot. OK ...done. I am hereby demanding "a lot". ..and I am also demanding ...in…

ha ha ha like NetSuite is going to find a way to reduce their revenue stream. hahahahahaha. Oh stop it. Sometimes lowering prices leads to more users and more sales. Do you remember when PayPal gave you a $5 balance with any new account that you opened? It didn't seem to hurt their success. Lowering prices and/or giving…

I think we should get "enhancement credits" and you can apply them towards your enhancement requests. So, you choose "add me to this enhancement" and then NS says "how many enhancement credits would you like to apply toward this request?" ....Lets say that we each get 50 "enhancement credits". I could then apply 30 credits…

Most established users and NS decision makers didn't see the problem with vague NS fields like "Item Name/Number". Which is it? Name or Number? "Display Name/Code"... which is it "item code" or "item display name". What happen is exactly what we thought would happened. Just last week we went to use a pre-built 3rd party…

I see this thread was re-opened. After all this time in NetSuite, I still think it is ridiculous the we had to struggle so much to figure out which field was to be use for ITEM NAME and which field is to be used for each items NUMBER/CODE. I still have no clue why it had to be that way. What was the advantage of the vague…

Now Now Mr Tom. You know that is not a true statement. I dont use matrix items at skyytek - but - you bet - I understand them. Ray, I know you know a lot about NS, but you would know even more about matrix items if your store used them for 1/2 of your items. You would be more familiar with how their sales data shows up in…

You can't create one matrix item or "play with them" in a test environment and understand what I am talking about. Your live store doesn't use matrix items. You need to operate a store with a mix of both types of items. You need to have a history in your live web store with many of both types of items working together.…

Ray, now we are "on the same page". I tried the formula posted above. It had a few problems. One: When adding a matrix item to a SO in the back-office, I could type "123456" and click tab and get a lists of matching items, but when adding a matrix item to a SO, I could not type "Coswell Cog" and get a lists of matching…

So, Ray... would yours look something like this... NON-MATRIX ITEMS ----------------------------------------------- Item Name/Number: 123456 Display Name/Code: Coswell Cog Vendor Name/Code: ___________ Sales Description: Coswell Cog are the best Cogs in the world. Store Display Name: Coswell Cog (SKU# 123456) . MATRIX ITEM…

The problem with not having SPECIFIC USE naming fields like "DESCRIPTIVE NAME=" (and not "Item Name/Number") OR "Item Code=" (and not "Display Name/Code") is that you get some NS users putting the "descriptive name" in "Item Name/Number" and some users putting it in "Display Name/Code". You also get some NS users putting…

If you have the options setup as I defined then it actually does a keyword search. I seem to recall that some settings are needed at the global level though -setup/general/show display names with item codes (not entirely sure btw). I have that setting activated (and I always had it activated). It doesn't help with that…

Yea, I learned that my goals were unachievable and that NS either has bad design or bad legacy issues when it comes to item creation. This particular issue (what fields to plug predetermined item data) should NOT be a difficult issue. ...or at least it never has been a difficult issue in ANY program or web service that I…

As Ray points out, there is a bewildering number of ways to set this up, and matrix items create other options and problems. We are just starting with NS and have redone our entire inventory- twice. Fortunately, its only about 250 Items, and we seem to have what we need... We also redid ours more than once and it still…

I appreciate that answer Jim and I see your issue with the hierarchy. Now, back to my question. My hypothetical store is so simple that I don't use a hierarchy because I only have TWO items for sale. One is a matrix "chuck 'o wood" available in birch and oak and one is non-matrix (twig o' wood). T

Maybe I could use you as a picture post card here :-) ?. a testimonial if you like !. :-). You are going through what we are trying to avoid on our business process projects.. So, if I pay you ...you will provide the proper answer to this question? Email me. I'll pay for the answer. Ray, in many areas I would agree that a…

I can't believe how OT this thread has become. All I want to know is... Item Name/Number: Item Number/Code Display Name/Code: Item Name or Item Name/Number: Item Name Display Name/Code: Item Number/Code and why it must be confusing and vague and not just... Item Name: Item Code/Number: Which would make it so much simpler…

"change your requirements" is a nice way of saying what I really did ...which was to "lower my expectations" of NetSuite. My goal post is in the same location, but I am settling for less than a shot down the middle of the goal. My expectations of NetSuite are based on past experiences with other ecommerce platforms. I…

I use a simple descriptor for all parts. Cisco parts are "Cisco-" Quintum parts-"QTM-" Our own parts that we manufacture are "IPG-" The same is true for generic cables "CAB-" and all of our chassis start with... That is the kind of information on the formatting of part numbers that I do NOT want to incorporate into this…

This question is ONLY directed to people who have NOT run into problems with item searches. Maybe I shouldn't have included that stipulation.

Angela, you told me that you don't use matrix items at your company...so you couldn't really understand the issues we are up against (with a mix of both item types at our store) until you add matrix items to your store. The naming fields don't behave the same between the two item types. So, your vote for "lowered…

Or naming goal (other than in-site and back-end searchability) has to deal with the organization of data in the columns of forms (PO, SO and web-store shopping cart). On forms in both the back-office and the web-store's shopping cart, we don't want redundant columns of data like this...…

I'm not playing a game. you are reading me wrong. I just want to figure out where to plug in my pre-defined names and part numbers. I can do it for one item type or another ....but not for a combination of both matrix and non-matrix items. (and still achieve my goals that were explained earlier) -Tom

Is there any flaw in the logic that NS could and should simplify the naming fields? Why is that ONLY at NetSuite you would need a "process engineer" just to name your items. I have used other leading products (like Mail order manager) and intuition alone was more than enough to go on. The fields are USUALLY self…
