For many clients, managing customer returns is an important business activity. In addition to the logistical challenges of approving customer returns and providing customers with a way to send back defective merchandise, an important consideration is ensuring these customer returns are accounted for properly. When a customer returns inventory, it is important that the cost of that inventory is accurately assessed and captured in the books. NetSuite offers several process options to help manage this which we will review on this blog.

For companies who maintain perpetual inventory, inventory allocation is an important business process area to track. Understanding the relationship between supply and demand, and having the systemic tools to manage this, is critical to ensuring the company is able to meet customer needs. This involves making sure you not only have the required supply, but that you are able to have the required supply when the customer needs it. Fortunately, NetSuite provides the Supply Allocation feature which, when configured, can help you match both existing and future supply to customer demand. Let us take a look at how this works.
