Managing operational tasks within the manufacturing shop floor is an important responsibility of any production manager. As a result, production managers need the ability to efficiently oversee and manage the various operational tasks within the organization. Given the number of work orders that can be open and in process at any given time, this oversight duty places a considerable burden on production managers. To assist managers in this space, NetSuite has released the Manufacturing Schedule SuiteApp, which provides a graphical interface where you can view and manage operation tasks assigned to a work center. Like most NetSuite-developed SuiteApps, the Manufacturing Scheduler is available to install with no additional cost.

NetSuite continues to expand CSV import support for its native records. With release 2025.1, NetSuite has added CSV import for various record types, including some which you may find useful if you use NetSuite WMS or Ship Central. With the ability to perform CSV import records, the bulk creation and management has become significantly easier. You will now find these records as import type options within the import assistant in NetSuite and are no longer required to use third-party solutions to update these records in bulk.

You can download a financial statement file from your bank or financial institution and manually upload it to NetSuite for reconciliation or expense tracking. During processing, NetSuite encrypts financial data files for security. Once processing is complete, the files are deleted and not retained. When you import data for bank or credit card reconciliation, NetSuite applies reconciliation rules to automatically match the imported bank lines with corresponding account transactions.
