We are currently working on implementing the ERP side of NetSuite and very much wanted bins to be part of that implementation. During set-up and testing we have also come across the same sort of problems as Angela, where we changed the way the bins were organised and caused real havoc with the stock counts. The longer this…

When we were using bins we had the same issue of the bin qty not matching the location qty. To fix it I went into the item fullfillments that were blank and put the bin number in and this fixed the issue. Time consuming but works! No way I can do this- the volume is too big. This is not an acceptable fix. As far as the…

Peter- I expect to have whipped this later today..... kind of stunned myself.... Well, I did it. It took me more than 300 adjustments. was not easy- as the prices were not always the same, throwing me out of balance. Took me HOURS- most of the weekend, as well as most of today. I think I actually have these working 100%…

Good Morning, Brian, In all fairness, the Bins are very close to working well. However, the approach to implementation is the key here. We use serialized inventory, and when we began using bins, we did so with the approach that Bins should be units of measure dictated by design. For example, a set of shelves as one bin,…

Angela, Thanks for your post. We are aware of some holes in the implementation of bin management, and we will be addressing them in a future release. There are currently workflows that are specifically designed to move items from one bin to another. You can, however, use an inventory adjustment to accomplish this. Simply…

Steve- There are two things your warhouse should know. #1, if an inventory item has use bins checked, and there is a preferred bin, the preferred bin will autopopulate when fulfilling. A little planning and work on the item maintenance side will go a long way on a busy shipping day. #2 If your bins are out of balance, for…

I am aware of your post, thanks for the note. However, we have serialized inventory, and tried this some time ago. It will not work for us, we need the feture to just work as designed.

ahh- gotcha, my apologies. Been a long week. It is the alternatives I am looking for. Conversations like this one seem to assist me with issues more than any enhancement or call to support. Right now, I agree, the adjustments suck, but as long as the net financial impact of the adjustment is zero, I can live with this, for…

I am shocked by this thread... we had a custom solution with bins simply printing out on the picking slip and were convinced by staff of Netsuite that we did not need that now and bin management was the way to go. Now we run into the issue that our inventory is correct but the number in a bin is not correct. We have things…

I'm sorry you are having difficulties setting up and using bins. If you can provide as much detail as possible, we will look at ways to improve those workflows in a future update of the bins feature. And if there are issues - system errors, incorrect counts, etc. - those should be filed with support so we can fix them as…

For the record, Angela has lots of issues. Glad to hear this one can be fixed. :D

Is there any hope of being able to customize fulfillments in the near future?

Hi Brian, I imagine that that will be the next step, if they decide to be stubborn again. Right now, I think I have made my point with them, and my sporadic audits have shown that they are not failing to fill this in. The fact that we have a brand new warehouse manager(as a result of the mutiny) :D who fully understand…

I am not on 06 yet. I would be happy to prove what I see to you via a webex next week. If this feature worked as you described, then my warehouse crew would not have been able to skew the bin counts vs the on hand counts last month. You have no idea how much I am looking forward to seeing this work right. We have been…

Hi Malin, This makes no sense to me- we have "use bins" checked on the items, prefferred bins, etc. However, there is no error message when the bin is not filled in. If there were, I would not have this problem to begin with. What you are saying does not hold true in our system.

Let's be honest. NetSuite has placed a checkbox next to "bin management" in terms of functionality they believe is provided by the system, but in practice, like other functions, bin managment is unworkable for many/most of us. And we need to disabuse ourselves of the idea that using inventory adjustments is an acceptable…

On the west coast, and have seen no interruptions.- been on since 7- even doing some extensive testing in my testing database. Gotta feel for the support manager- poor guy is probably having a really bad day already.

You cannot edit a description of an item from the transaction field, if there is a description entered into the item record, as the information is pulling from your item and its fields. To edit a description, go into the item record itself. If the description line is left blank in the item record, it will allow an…

Did anyone ever get any compensation from Microsoft for every BSOD with Windows 98, ME, 2000 and especially NT4?? Microsoft could've bought me a condo on Palm Beach on the back of those little episodes :p Cheers Sion AB-CRM Ltd (UK) Since this thread keeps popping back up in the recent posts, I have revisited it a few…

Ice storm in Oregon-but still no user issues seen or noted, a little slow, but nothing major.

In the role record, under the transactions tab, "check" with the ability greater than view.

Hi Angela, This probably doesn't directly answer your question, but here's what I do. I set up a git repository on my computer. Git is a version control system that keeps track of all the changes I've made, so I have an audit trail. Another nice thing is that I can roll back changes I make if I need to revert to a previous…

Just An update- it seems that there is no audit trail that tracks programming changes in Netsuite: "Hello Angela, We only have 2 available options for Auditing. One is the Audit trail that will show you changes to your transactions and the other is the Login Audit trail. Below is more information regarding both of the…

Is this even possible? Perhaps from a Netsuite view- even outside our system? It would certainly enable us to know quickly if we have a security breach or an internal issue.- I would think that somehow, this can be viewed.

Got it all figured out- the rep went into his preferences and chose (on the transactions tab) the auto fill checkbox. Once unchecked, everything works fine. Simple enough to make me crazy. go figure

was this ever determined? I seem to have run into this again. Is there a way to tell who inactivated an account from the COA that carried a balance?

seems to have been dragging all week- at one point yesterday- we thought it was crashing, and NS does not seem to have an answer as to why......

I spent several hours pulling my hair out over this. After a lengthy call to support, this is what I was told: go to tools: options: advanced options: other: com add ins:add: Look in local disk: program files: Netsuite: outlook: choose the add in called "NSAddinShimS.dll" add this What nothing seems to tell you until after…

We are having no issues whatsoever with speed...apparently, not all are affected.
