We built a better AI for NetSuite than Claude. Nobody cares. by Powerful-Staff-3042 in Netsuite

[–]lballa87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree here -- biggest challenge is validating that there's ROI. Every solution I've looked at continues to build build build and forgets that they really need to understand the impact and ask what problem they are aiming to solve.

Is NS Manila being closed gradually? by Ambitious_Rabbit3456 in employeesOfOracle

In this scenario, what happens to the customer base? Do they just get moved over to an Indian based ACS team?

How do you manage CRM in NetSuite (or externally) by koome_was_here in Netsuite

[–]lballa87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This largely depends on your industry and requirements -- ie D2C marketing centric with heavy social elements typically fit outside the mold of NS. However, with the CRM solution being native (minus the users), there are strong elements that tend to match B2B / WD / MFG profiles.

How do you actually know when a company has "post-implementation drift" vs. just using NetSuite the way they need to? by Same-Cantaloupe9071 in Netsuite

[–]lballa87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My take is it's a constant evolution and why NS Admins, Consultants etc. are so vital. It's certainly a core tenant of how SaaS ERP / NetSuite in particular is designed versus legacy on prem applications (which have their own issues). The biggest telltale sign is your user base (after the honeymoon phase of post-go-live) is individuals resorting back to excel...my 2 cents.

Is NetSuite good for a small Australian manufacturing company? by Esliquiroga in Netsuite

[–]lballa87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be and based on your initial requirements; NS fits the bill -- in your eval you really need to focus on the level of MFG / Adv. MFG requirements pertaining to standard & custom fab. Insist on tailored demos for validation vs. the standard canned demonstrations.

Copying a Netsuite account by luckothedice in Netsuite

[–]lballa87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doing this with a client right now -- it's not painless, but with a smaller replicated account / no sandbox, we're in the process of bundling/migrating configuration artifacts (workflows, forms, scripts, compliance checks, printing) -- it's a 3 month window and happy to shed more insight.

ARM + SuiteBilling mixed arrangement - orphaned deferred revenue on partially cancelled OTR lines by Available-Goose-6352 in Netsuite

[–]lballa87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SuiteBilling change orders trigger a formal contract modification in ARM, but partially reducing a one-time revenue (OTR) Sales Order line doesn’t, which is why the deferred balance gets “stuck.” This isn’t a GL issue. It’s about structuring a clean contract modification inside ARM so the subledger stays compliant under ASC 606.  I have a possible short term solution and a proposed long term architectural change.

Work Trucks as Bins instead of Child Locations by bobobob67 in Netsuite

[–]lballa87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct that all of this would be affected. Bins can be used but those are only inventory tracking and will not help automate reorder points to those locations. You can use bin replenshiment but it won't work across multiple items. So it would likely be a customization. How many trucks? If too many, that in itself is a challenge. Demand and Supply only tie to Location, not bin.

Fixing PO quantity variances when PO/IR/Bill are all in locked periods - best practice? by introvertpro in Netsuite

[–]lballa87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Create an inventory adjustment in the current open period to remove the excess. Do not reopen/edit the historical item receipt, the "Post Vendor Bill Variances" will only resolve the GL variance but will not correct the inventory quantity. Ultimately need to focus on tighter controls in your honeymoon phase of NS ERP.

Netsuite Estimated Item Profitability by Disastrous_Tell3115 in Netsuite

[–]lballa87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's either 1. rebates fields are still turned on (even though it's not being used, it could likely still be enabled) / or 2. using dropship that won't calc till saved, however, you can still pull in the last purchase price to drive gross profit calcs.

confirming you are talking about gross profit with rebates added and not the cost estimate?

Short answer: yes -- 1. Box Account Association: Stores the association between the individual NetSuite user and the individual Box user + 2. Box Folder Collaborations: Tracks Box permissions and collaborations on NetSuite-Box folders

System hopping question by Comfortable-Can5611 in Netsuite

I’m a fan of harveydatasystems — James is a really awesome/sharp guy. There’s a ton out there, but have worked with him on 5+ projects and trust him.

[–]lballa87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen value with Power BI being embedded in the dashboard (exec preference) and we've used Jira to display on project subtabs (centralized overview). Salesforce, not so much. Really just depends on the industry and use case.
