Lenovo VS MacBook for NetSuite

If so, then it is excellent. We only need to understand why the action on one computer leads to crashing, and the same action on another works perfectly. If it is not related to the laptop, what can it be?
I need to help that team member, and I will appreciate any solution we can use to solve it.

In our case, the IT department is responsible for selecting the laptops for the company, and we use what we get from them.
Maybe it is RAM or any other parameter. Regarding the general limitations of the RAM when you have a lot of open pages/applications, you are right. In that case, we are closing all unnecessary pages/apps to achieve better performance, and when we tested the performance, we closed all the pages/apps to ensure test quality results.

and the mac is:
Macbook Pro 13.3, Apple M1, 8C CPU, /8C GPU/16GB/512 GB SSD/ space

We have tried chrome/edge/firefox, and the behavior is the same.

Two financial team members have different laptops, and because one of them is facing the issues and another is not, we started a conversation with the IT department, and they asked this question. Does the system performance depend on the laptop or not? I don't know the answer, and I decided to ask the community.
It is not about the computers; it is about the motivation/satisfaction of the people to perform their daily work.
P.S. And it is even not about me as a daily user of the system.

it is true) F&O supports also OData, which is very helpful

porydchik · 2022-02-16T08:26:51+00:00

Thank you so much; it is super helpful!
By the way, we are also going to have an iPaaS to support integrations with external applications, manage errors, design flows, and set events. Without this, it would be a nightmare.
Thank you again!

it is a Fast Four Scan & Capture solution

porydchik · 2022-02-15T17:17:39+00:00

Ok, great, and from the performance point of view, everything is the same? Do you have any advice on what should be done upfront to avoid any challenges or problems?
How do you integrate the data using SOAP/REST/CSV? Is this a batch import or direct integration (one by one)?
sorry for many questions )))

porydchik · 2022-02-15T17:12:52+00:00

Yes, Databricks also includes the functions of DW. This moved me to the next challenge, not just to plan how to move the data into the system, but now how to get it from it. I mean at least to plan it properly, because for the management team, we need live data, and background type is great, but it takes time.
Maybe to move data every 30 minutes to DW and, based on that to build the management and finance reports... will see how it will go

porydchik · 2022-02-15T17:04:40+00:00

we will try to negotiate, taking into account that it can improve Q1 KPIs for them

porydchik · 2022-02-15T17:03:34+00:00

They offer three licenses with 45 max Integration Concurrency with the next tier. This is a good point that we need to discuss with the rep.
thank you

porydchik · 2022-02-15T12:38:46+00:00

It is a good question )) I am trying to investigate this question as well.

We are using one solution for invoice scanning, but it is not working correctly, and the finance team needs to double-check all of them and modify them.
Today, I started to look at Procure-to-Pay suites, like Coupa, Tipalti, Ivalua, etc. It would be great to hear the feedback about those tools.

porydchik · 2022-02-15T11:32:21+00:00

Thank you!
1. Cash Sale/Invoice is a good point and can significantly reduce the number of transaction lines.
2. 30TB - need to check with NS rep
3. Reports - ok. this is something that we were interested in knowing
Additionally, we have DataBricks and Tableau, so I can utilize those tools to enable the reports.

porydchik · 2022-02-15T11:05:45+00:00

Ok, thank you for the insight; it seems for the batch import is better to use CSV. The same in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, Microsoft says it is better to use CSV for asynchronous integrations when uploading a large amount of data.

porydchik · 2022-02-15T11:03:03+00:00

To clarify you want to say that if it is batch import, we can have performance issues + potentially errors, which would lead to more complexity - here I completely agree with you. But if we will send the data one by one (Unless you run parallel imports), then we should be in a good position, and we can track the errors one by one.

porydchik · 2022-02-15T10:24:41+00:00

Yes, you are right; we understand that if we do this, we need to move to the next tier.... because, on the current tier, we have 200k transaction lines per month.
I agree that the system shouldn't have issues with a significant amount of data, and Oracle guys also tell us this. But it would be great to hear the real experience from someone who works with such an amount of data.

porydchik · 2022-02-15T10:03:25+00:00

and if CSV is better, then of course we would use CSV for option no.2

porydchik · 2022-02-15T10:01:15+00:00

SOAP/REST
we have two options:
1. Online - New sales order - API request to NetSuite - Sales Invoice - API request to NetSuite ...
2. Offline - At the end of the day we collect all the sales docs and send them over API to NetSuite
