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.

The printed traveler document can be used to outline process notes and detailed step by step instructions, including assigned components, for each operation step. We’ll take a look at the SuiteApp and how to install it in a NetSuite instance. We will first cover prerequisites.
