Introduction

With release 2025.2 around the corner, I wanted to swing back to release 2025.1 which introduced two significant enhancements to the work-in-process and manufacturing routing modules. One of the changes introduced was the ability to add and edit manufacturing operation steps. However, the one I would like to tell you about in this blog is the ability to define a connection type for each operation step in a routing. This feature impacts production scheduling in NetSuite in a big way, and process manufacturers using NetSuite’s work in process and routing module would be wise to review as there is a significant value add here.

Implementation success starts before go-live. Learn the traps to avoid and what leading ERP experts recommend.

Introduction

According to the 2022 Panorama Consulting ERP Report, over 50% of ERP implementations fail to meet expectations (Panorama Consulting Group, 2022). This means that the majority of organizations investing significant time, capital, and resources into ERP still end up with systems that underdeliver on promised ROI, efficiency gains, or business transformation goals. The reasons are often predictable and preventable—ranging from unclear success metrics and poor change management to misaligned requirements and inadequate post-launch support.

At Concentrus, we’ve analyzed these failures in depth and built our methodology to solve them before they occur. In fact, we’ve identified the seven most common problems that derail ERP projects—and for each, we have a proven fix that turns risk into measurable ROI.

Introduction

With the Multi-Currency Customers feature in NetSuite, users can assign a primary (base) currency to a customer and define additional currencies for transactions with them.

However, when trying to apply a customer payment in a different currency than the invoice, users will notice that the invoice does not appear under Transactions > Customers > Accept Customer Payments, unless the payment and invoice use the same currency.

Example Scenario

• Customer's Primary Currency: CAD
• Invoice Currency: CAD
• Intended Payment Currency: USD

Introduction

In NetSuite, saving files directly from a Client Script (CS) is not possible because the N/file module is only available on the server side. To work around this limitation, you can send file data from the browser to a Suitelet, which then saves the file to the File Cabinet using server-side APIs.

This article demonstrates how to implement this pattern, including example code, best practices, and a brief introduction to JavaScript file objects used in the browser.
