NetSuite Inventory Management Features

NetSuite Inventory Management minimizes manual processes by automatically tracking inventory levels, orders and sales throughout the inventory life cycle, and provides the insights needed to make data-driven decisions and clear visibility into any inventory liabilities, like excess or slow-moving stock.

NetSuite Inventory Management gives you the ability to predefine fulfillment rules to eliminate multiple shipments for a single order and avoid excess shipping charges. With visibility into stock across all locations, you can proactively monitor stock levels and sell through, transferring inventory between locations as necessary to ensure inventory availability and minimize obsolete inventory. Sales associates are empowered to save potential lost sales in out-of-stock situations with enterprise-wide inventory availability that allows them to transfer, hold or ship items directly to the customer.
Fluctuations in demand, seasonality, supply chain logistics and a product’s natural life cycle must be accounted for to ensure sufficient stock on hand. Using demand-based replenishment, NetSuite Inventory Management uses historical and seasonal sales data, average lead time and number of inventory days’ of supply to dynamically manage item reorder points and maintain preferred stock levels. NetSuite automatically generates tasks and alerts and sends them to the purchasing manager.
NetSuite Inventory Management allows you to categorize inventory based on volume of transactions and/or value and schedule regular, periodic counts of on-hand quantities. It auto assigns count tasks to floor staff to help maintain inventory accuracy. Implementing periodic cycle counts for select SKUs vs. performing a full cycle count allows the count to be integrated into everyday tasks and minimizes disruption of warehouse operations. If items are stored in multiple locations in one warehouse, NetSuite supports bin management that make the counting process easier and more accurate.
NetSuite Inventory Management lets you back and forward trace inventory using lot and serial tracing. Lot-numbered items track the quantity and specific cost for each lot as products are purchased and produced. Serializing inventory allows you to choose a specific item when you fulfill an order. Together, lot and serial numbers let you define fulfillment strategies (such as first expiring, first out) , minimizing waste and ensuring inventory is used in the most efficient way. Bin management and defining your merchandise hierarchy also help with traceability. Matrix items track products by options such as size and color. Updates made to the parent item are automatically applied to sub-items, greatly simplifying SKU management.
