NetSuite’s Supply Chain Management bundle includes a collection of features that can help drive efficiencies across the entire supply chain. We have covered several of these features on this blog including estimated landed costs, customer part numbers, and engineering change orders. This time, we will be covering the item substitution feature. Through the use of this feature, we are able to enter substitutions, which are alternative items offered to customers when their originally requested item is not available. Capturing this data in NetSuite can be helpful in driving supply chain efficiencies as it helps us analyze where supply failed to meet demand, and also helps us establish relationships between items that are suitable substitutions. Let us take a quick look at the feature and how it works.
