In warehouse operations, a common challenge is how to efficiently manage product code updates to inventory you receive from your vendors. Depending on your business, you may be looking at a considerable number of items to update. These product code updates in turn can require significant effort from your warehouse staff to roll out and can hamper warehouse activities which tend to rely on accurate product barcodes for scanning items quickly and efficiently. To solve this problem, Netsuite WMS offers the concept of a WMS item alias which allows you toassociate your internal part number to multiple product codes without having to necessarily relabel your existing product. Adding WMS support for new vendor product codes can be done quickly and easily without impacting overall warehouse efficiency.

If your business has vendors who use multiple currencies, you will need to understand the behavior of purchase price, preferred vendor, and different subsidiaries when you are in aOneWorld Account. When you add a new preferred vendor in a different subsidiary, the old Purchase Price is converted to the currency of the new Preferred Vendor.In a non-OneWorld account, the Purchase Price field in the body of the form is in the Preferred Vendor currency. This is straight forward since each item can only have one Preferred Vendor. But in aOneWorld account, when there is a Preferred Vendor for each subsidiary, the Purchase Price is expressed in the currency of the last Preferred Vendor in the item, hence the automatic conversion of the previous purchase price.
