Bingo. I am only talking about web store with the one exception being searchability when adding items to the a SO. Those are the ONLY TWO things I care about with the item naming scheme. So, are the fields still "self-explanatory"? Re-read the first post and keep in mind that I am only talking about how naming an item…

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…

That is the kind of information on the formatting of part numbers that I do NOT want to incorporate into this thread. For the example "Coswell Cogs" with item number "123456". When making a SO in the back-office ...I want to be able to enter "Coswell" and get the "short list". I want to be able to enter "12345" and get the…

OK Tom, I am back. I slept on it, and now I think I may have a possibly identified the issue. You gave me a hint when you said a kindergärtner should be able to do it. In this thread, you gave us some specific criteria. Chunk o wood. MFG item name 123456. You then asked us to come up with a naming scheme. You even gave us…

ah.. and the resolution was - if you cannot score the goal - move the goal posts. as in. change your requirements !. BPE 101. good advice, Ray- those who are not flexible, often break. I have read this entire post, was a great lesson. Thanks for your time and energy spent teaching us.

Trust me, Tom, if I thought you were playing a game, I wouldn't be trying to help. ;) You have been relatively specific as to what you don't want, so may I ask what is happenning in your item searches while trying to add to the SO that is causing an issue?

farrago \fuh-RAH-go; fuh-RAY-go\, noun: A confused mixture; an assortment; a medley. (I love it!!!) Gentlemen, Gentlemen, play nice on the playground. :o Tom, If you step back for a moment, and re-read this thread, you may see a common element. Several of us have asked you to be more specific. We don't know the actual…

Basil, NS has T-Shirts?? I got gypped. :( Evan, I could care less who wrote it, as it bears your name, and from the interactions I have had with you in here, I have no doubt that the content will be excellent. This is exactly what was asked for, and is being provided. The idea that new users will have something to lean on…

Basil, I don't know what training you went to, but they must have toned it way down by the time I was there- Lance wouldn't let me get away with anything.....

yeah, I am consistently amazed that NS has not yet given me the finger...;) And your right, no way I would take Rosa on, he looks like he can hold his own. and there for a minute I just thought you were the favorite....:D

score one for Evan, he heard, he listened, he provided. Evan, it amazes me how you quietly step up and meet our requests, with little fanfare or even the slightest bit of ego. There is much to be commended on the simple fact that you wrote this (even if you had help). Kudos, Evan. I still think your worth your weight in…

oh tom, I so totally agree. I wish... good lord, do you remember how big the can of worms was that I opened with this thread to begin with? Then, the wiki/whitepaper fiasco...:rolleyes: The truth is simple, it is what it is. You wont find a 'guide', NS won't provide one. Probably for a couple of reasons, primarily that NS…

Hello Daniel, This thread has gotten quite long, so I was not very clear in my last post. I know, (and stated somewhere previously) that these books are not the answer to users lack of training. Not by a long shot. However, they are the only material I had seen that provides a clear introduction to the basics of NS. One of…

Thanks, Julie, the help is getting better, and many of us have noticed.

Beautifully put!!! why, thank you. It got so quiet that I was getting a little nervous. one last question-totally off topic- this is the first thread I have ever seen rated. Who rates these? other users, or NS? I cannot seem to figure out how to rate other threads, so not sure if users can even do this?

Yes, I'm saying not to share them. We are creating an option to deliver these classes over the web in a virtual classroom style for many of our folks that cannot get to a public class and the (new) materials will be available via this manner as well as our public courses. This should be available following the new release…

Julie, In all fairness, if it weren't for those stupid questions, I wouldn't have learned half of what I know. Here is just a bit of food for thought. Someone who ia an accountant may understand something as a given, same with IT people- programmers, etc. However, the accountant may be clueless about programming, the IT…

I asked our Netsuite Sales Rep about the books and at this point they are not available with out attending the training.:mad: What is with that? I would think that NS would want to make the extra buck of selling these separately- I am currently writing an intro manual of my own (with the help of ms Cecelia), and will…

My apologies, I gave my word to Netsuite that I would not give them out anymore. However, keep an eye on your inbox, I am certain someone else will probably share with you. ;)

Hello Valerie, I am providing you with the feedback you asked for, but before I do, I want to relay something that happened today that may assist me in illustrating my point. My dad turned 65 today, and I was in his kitchen getting ready to make his cake. Pinneapple upside down cake. I had all of the ingredients out on the…

I would really like to have any manuals from Netsuite or know where to get current info? Is there anyone in the Texas area that may want to start or have a support group? Thanks Actually, NS has asked that their copyrighted manuals not be dispersed. However, the now infamous NS For Dummies will be out soon, s that is a…

Evan is too humble. Keep in mind Krish, how harsh people in here can be, I really hope that people see this for what it is. It is a total answer to everything written on this thread- NS doesn't listen, my eye...told you he would step up.;)

Hi Tom, I don't think there is an actual guide for this, but there is a lot of info in help. I have integrated Fedex, and know quite a bit about it, and am about to embark on UPS integration. What is your issue? Maybe we should start a thread on it, and both of us can figure it out together? That is, if you want to work…

Hi there, WIth my sincere apologies, I must decline sending these books to you. These two books are copyrighted by Netsuite, and in this thread, when I asked for permission to share them, I was specifically directed not to. Due to the nature of copyrighted materials, I am not willing to open that can of worms. I secured…

I am right there with you. I wanted to rate a thread, but I could not find the rating system within the menu that I saw explained. This is why I thought the admin may have rated it. I was just curious.

Cecelia, I am glad it was well understood, thanks I think that is what it boils down to, communication. The levels of frustration in here can sometimes run pretty high. I often see what appears to be a complete breakdown in the ability to communicate well, leading to end users working against NS, instead of with it.…

yep- the new help section is nice. I had a realization at lunch. I think I may be a bit biased in my request for these books to be shared. I forgot a very key thing, that being that at training, we were provided a testing database that was essentially a completely set up company, for the purpose of training. It was the…

As a side note...the reason that I put together my own doc on landed costs was because I found the related Help documentation extremely limited, and I knew that if I (as administrator) didn't understand it, then I certainly wouldn't be able to help our users with it. It was all of the various user group posts that pointed…

Angela, What are you missing from a help/learning perspective? Is it introductory training for brand new Netsuite users or advanced stuff like the things that Evan is so good at answering in this forum? For us, we've found that brand new Netsuite users don't really benefit much from Netusite created tutorials and training…
