NS- anyone going to jump in here and enlighten us?

Alison, As seen in the new help: Reallocating Items As each sales order is created or approved, NetSuite automatically allocates inventory from the item's quantity available. NetSuite also automatically commits inventory to fill backorders when goods are received from your vendors. You can use the Reallocate Items page to…

sorry Matt, while we have a manufacturing division in Israel, we have not integrated to one system. All of my inventory is located at one location. a competitor to support- not certain that is true (I gotta believe support knows more than I do- at least someone there) but thanks, I think. What can I say, I have no life...:D

ahh, jeff, sorry to hear that. However, not certian I agree that NS failed. There is a way to do it, just not one you are wanting to utilize. Also, you may want to go back to the original post here, We have a full inventory of items already set up in Netsuite, with pricings, descriptions, rules for quantities and etc all…

I tried to do this before 2007, and had no luck whatsoever. Would be nice to hear you can do this in 07....

If your imports keep failing, your best bet is to call support and ask them why. They can see the specific problems in ways we in the UG cannot.

If you answer my questions, I can assist you in formulating a plan of attack, if you like. Nothing like taking a problem to the table and being able to say- I think this might be how we can fix this......;)

ok, I can help, at least for now. Step one, go to help, guides, and pull up the guide on CSV imports. Do some reading. Then go to setup-Import-Import CSV and get a feel for the templates. Once you do that, you will be able to better manage your plan. Come back here with questions. good luck!;)

One way it is possible is if you are using drop ship sales order forms instead of regular sales orders forms. may or may not be your problem, just one way it can happen.

Matt, I see that I didn't respond to you as I said I would. Are you finished, or do you still need this information? Exporting the count sheet is only step one of my physical count process. If you want the parameters of the report, or the whole process, let me know. My apologies for missing this -

Hi Angela, When you say 'export the physical count sheet'; what are you using to do that? The Adjust Inventory Worksheet or a Saved Search that you've formatted specially? I'm just trying to finalize stocktake procedures for 17,000 items in the warehouse and my head is spinning too fast... Thanks, Matt Matt-, its easy, its…

The only thing you have to remember is that Netsuite does what Netsuite chooses to do. Enhancements may be a way for users to vote for, to gage the demand, but that is not a guarantee. I have personally found that as long as NS is designed to meet one way of doing things, they stubbornly stand firm on allowing options. I…

what was that, Ray? did I get something wrong?

absolutely correct. However, I bet Jeff is a little intimidated at the moment, this is information that may be a bit overwhelming. Jeff, if you would like a step by step overview of what is needed and how to go about it, tell me a few key bits of information, and I will give it a shot. What types of items do you currently…

Doesn't seem like a use case that's very likely to occur... ? not very likely to occur? Malin, do you think I make this stuff up? I assure you, that is not the case. case in point: However "likely" or not this is to occur, it was routed to my desk yesterday when a 9k piece of hardware was RMA'd from the customer, and the…

matt, what are you saying? do you want my macros? remember- those who ask shall often receive ;) The physical inventory worksheet is a standard report- found in reports-inventory, physical count sheet ( or very similar, not looking at it at the moment). I just modified it to incude bins and serials. The macros are a snap-…

well, Andy, ask and you shall receive. Please remember that I use ALL serialized items. This process is directly dependent upon items being serialized. I modified our basic physical count sheet to include our serial numbers, bins, and not show zero's. Since the output has the serials on a report listed horizontally, I…

scrapping the whole thing, then?

Hope you don't have any 'Kit's as they don't advertise that Kits don't work with serialized components! True- but item groups work like a dream.

Angela, thanks for your advice. #2 that you stated above ..... sounds like our only option. Can you please share the steps to do things that way ? Thanks. Jeff, I hate to be the breaker of bad news here, but I was not listing your options. I was listing some but not all of the tasks that will have to be completed in order…

You just opened up a huge can of worms, my friend. I know quite a bit about serialized inventory, but what you are asking is much more than that. You may want to take a step back here, and reassess your approach. you can get yourself into quite a mess if you are not careful. Items- once you have items in your system, you…

If you create the RMA from the cash sale/invoice, it would have the serial # on it already. Likewise, if you create the RMA from the sales order, and you put the serial # on the SO to commit it before fulfillment. So in those cases, it's a matter of verifying that # on the physical item at receipt. That leaves 2 other use…

Tom, There is no way available within NS to do a physical count. What we do is export the physical count sheet to Excel, and use Excel to do the reconciliation of the count. Once we have run down the discrepancies, and I have a final list, one inventory adjustment is all that is necessary to complete the information to…

it would certainly make the creation of a new templete a lot easier if you export what you want to migrate, and use the data as the foundation for your import. (such as exporting a report of the items into Excel) However, when manipulating these volumes of data, one little slip of getting the data out of alignment can make…

OK then, Jeff, here we go...... I am going to assume that you are going to spearhead this endeavor. In order to efficiently guide you, I am anticipating you doing most of the planning and testing yourself, before you cement your intentions. I am also assuming that you are already live, That being said, from an overview…

On point 1. You can have duplicate names if you use an item hierarchy - which btw- is good practice to categorize items. True, However the question he was asking- to take items and replicate them as serialized, this is not really applicable, and I was trying not to bury him in information he may not need ;)

Steve, The one thing you are not mentioning is how long you have been doing this. What kind of volume is involved- this CAN be done, but it may be rather messy, if not done carefully and meticulously.

Then it shouldnt be that difficult to do. I am happy to help guide you through it, but will need more details. May have to take this process outside the UG, to either telephone, e-mail, or IM. If your interested, let me know- angela

see the thread https://usergroup.netsuite.com/users/showthread.php?t=3603

did you try sourcing the negative number back to it's cause, and fixing that?
