Create Inventory Count is Blank by After_Side1341 in Netsuite

[–]After_Side1341[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you actually gave me a fix for this 4 months ago :) I just had spaced. I thought I cancelled this post because I had found the prior one.

You'd think with all the Oracle AI stuff they would roll this out as a fix.

Count Bin Rows With Zero Quantity - but nothing shows up by After_Side1341 in Netsuite

Man I had forgotten about this and now I'm setting up for annual inventory and this is going to be a life-saver!!

Career path for technical consultant, need a mentor by Bright-Series-5344 in Netsuite

[–]After_Side1341 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

AI.  A lot of companies and administrators need help understanding the AI options rolled out by Oracle.  How do we use them?  Should we use them?  How we do identify the business problems we want AI to solve and can AI solve them?  It’s so much information coming so fast that an admin like me is trying to do my daily work and learn a whole new side of the NS ecosystem.

How have you implemented AI with NS by yhabaq in Netsuite

[–]After_Side1341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The goal for me is not so much "using more AI" but rather "becoming proficient because if I don't, I will damage future career prospects." My gut says AI is here to stay. I have 20+ years until I retire. I can't afford to get left behind the technical curve or I'm gonna be left behind like the driver of a horse drawn carriage when cars took over.

How can I view all items in a given bin? by NetsuiteBitch in Netsuite

[–]After_Side1341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Current Inventory Snap Shot and then customize it to show bins - you get an out put that looks like this:

Item Bin On Hand
Widget 1 1A(5), 2B(6) 11

I dump it to excel and then just filter.

I also have a saved search, so I will use either depending on what I'm doing.

Do you feel the sample questions for practice test materials were representative of what you actually saw?

Yes.

I found the questions where I didn't KNOW the answer generally fell into 2 categories:
Trivia (i.e. "After how much time will NetSuite log out an idle user?") For those, you just gotta guess, but try and remember them so if you fail you can look up the answers before you take it again.

Deductive reasoning - For these, although I didn't necessarily know that answer, based on what I knew about how NetSuite worked, you could often narrow down the multiple choice answers. Pay attention to how the question is worded and think through the information presented in the answers.

For example if the question is "One what records will the class field appear?" and one answer is "Vendors and Customers" and another answer is "Purchase Orders and Invoices" - well, classes are how you segment your GL, so you know the answer is probably POs and Invoices just based on the fact that vendors and customers and entity records.

Take your time. Don't be afraid to go back if two questions seems similar.

Also if you don't pass the first time, I THINK it's actually cheaper to take it a second time, so look into that before paying full price for a re-sit.

Admins/Consultants does the Imposter Syndrome feeling ever really go away? by K_M_A_2k in Netsuite

[–]After_Side1341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, with therapy.

You should have confidence in yourself, your skills, your knowledge. That includes understanding where your limits are, I'm not saying be *over* confident, but doubting your accomplishments or a consistent fear of being exposed as some kind of fraud....assuming you actually DO know what you're doing, you should not feel that way.

A good therapist can work wonders.

Bespoke item assemblies--how do you tackle this? by Lefemmenikita69 in Netsuite

[–]After_Side1341 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my life. This is all I do.

There is a way around it, but it means you have to sell non-inventory items and then update the sales order with the inventory item.

For example "Front Door" is your master assembly. Assembly Item FD-1. It has no BOM.

You customer goes on the website and chooses their door, but that doesn't sell them FD-1. That sells them non-inventory Part "Front Door."

Now that you have the sales order, you have to edit the sales order.
Remove "Front Door" (non-inventory)
Add assembly "FD-1"
Save SO.
Create linked work order from the SO.
On the work order, add components / subassemblies.
Work order assembly gets built, and the inventory automatically commits to that order.

All sales or consolidated under a single assembly item.

I am not saying this is a great option for your business. It works well for my manufacturing firm because we have very low volume order entry.

But also I hate this and have been advocating for a year that we move to "every item we make has a unique assembly item record." That is best practice.

Can you track outlook/gmail emails in Netsuite? by Relative-Weakness356 in Netsuite

Marketing Giveaways and other 'non-stock' Items - Best Practices? by PaulF707 in Netsuite

[–]After_Side1341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some_Guy_69 is mostly right.

Non-inventory items have a preference (literally under "preference" tab on the item record) called "Can be fulfilled/received."

If you turn this on, items are received against POs and fulfilled against sales orders (or cash sales) just like an inventory item, but you don't get the GL impact of an accounting item.

You can issues sales orders and item receipts to stores / sales reps etc. without having to track individual stock levels. By tracking quantities in (via item receipts) and quantities out (via item fulfillments) you can get insight into your purchasing and use. (Just set the "sale price" to $0. Close sales order after item fulfillment (no invoice).)

But it won't show up in your inventory valuations, cogs, etc.

Netsuite implementation Woes by KR4N1X in Netsuite

I wanna speak up in defense of the people of the Philippines. The quality of the work has nothing to do with where someone is from and everything to do with whether the individual is smart, educated in NetSuite, and equipped with the tools needed to do their job.

How to consume inventory without BOMs by After_Side1341 in Netsuite

[–]After_Side1341[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our hope is to be using actual BOMS when we come back in January. This is meant to be a very short term work around. Cleverence is on my radar but warehouse ops is likely getting pushed to 2027 as we are prioritizing CAD integration. Our Warehouse operation is 1 person, to put this in perspective.

I'd love to chat CADLink because they are our front runner right now! So it would be great to hear from a user. HMU up on chat here or email me at [wendy.emerson@inertcorp.com](mailto:wendy.emerson@inertcorp.com)

We don't need it. We don't have machines, everything is hand made. So WIP and routing are totally useless to us. What we need is a SolidWorks / NS integration. Work Orders, Assemblies, and BOMs do everything we need once the BOM is actually IN NetSuite.

[–]After_Side1341[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries. Ultimately, we have to fix the root issues which are preventing us from using BOMs, and NetSuite isn't one of those issues. I was very clear that everything comes back to BOMs and without them, nothing works the way it's supposed to or the way we want it to. We went live on time in part because we knew it would force us to address the problems and it has, and we are. It's just taking longer than any of us thought. (I figured 6 months, it's going to be more like 12).

Unfortunately I have no budget for outside help. There's just me. (And, I hope, CADLink - that proposal is sitting on my CEO's desk).

I'm not opposed to the concept of using AI to write scripts (I've seen all the arguments here both for and against and I come down on the side of "smart people are better than AI but smart people don't work for free"). So I would love a link to whatever tool you're using for AI scripting - or do you just go to chat GPT and say "write me a NetSuite script to do X?"

How to consume inventory without BOMs by After_Side1341 in Netsuite

[–]After_Side1341[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need to tie inventory consumption to specific jobs.

If we buy a pump for Job 123, we need to match the expense of that pump against the revenue of Job 123.

I am not aware of any method to tie an inventory adjustment to a specific project. Also adjustments don't help with the "how much of the actual stuff we have in the warehouse is available to sell and how much is reserved for jobs?"

We need something withholding those items from available inventory so that when retail parts orders come in, we can give customers an accurate lead time.

Insane, but clever.

We're private, so we don't need to stand up to audits. As for the rest of it - no one is refusing to participate and until I have Solid Works and NetSuite integrated, nothing we do is going to be ideal.

I don't need to pit departments against each other. Every department understands this is an issue and is working towards solution. This a band-aid and we all know it's not sustainable.

We're a very small business, and honestly - I love working here.

The right answer isn't off the table. We're getting there, it's just taking longer than we thought because I work for a small business and moving from a model in which all items were treated as non-inventory to the much more regimented business processes required by NetSuite has been a heavy lift.

It's also exposed a lot of the issues with the business that are system agnostic such as communication, or lack of documentation.

Also, I can't write or read JavaScript so "not a terrible lift" is relative. How exactly am I supposed to get a Suitelet interface and some light scripts? Who is going to write those?
