In order to automate a sales order into a cash sale record there are certain fields that must be populated. On any sales order record, under the Billing subtab you will see the field Payment Method or Payment Option. This is the trigger point in the system to let NetSuite know that you are receiving a form of payment on this order rather than sending this to an Invoice record. By populating a value into this field NetSuite will convert this into a cash sale. If this field is empty, then by default the record will convert into an Invoice.

I will show you the way to mass create, add and remove pricing group in this blog.

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.

Although seemingly straightforward, managing this can be a bit more intricate due to the limitation within the employee/user record, which only permits the selection of a Primary Subsidiary. This grants access solely to that subsidiary and any child subsidiaries linked to the chosen parent. If you need to grant access to multiple subsidiaries without a hierarchical relationship, the following steps will help you out!
