SuiteApp Overview: Costed Bill of Materials
In the manufacturing industry, knowing the cost of a finished good is critically important in driving decision-making. For instance, knowing costs helps identify opportunities to reduce component costs, and help set sales prices to ensure profitability. For companies using NetSuite’s Advanced Bill of Materials feature, it can be challenging to query the required data through saved searches or Suite Analytics datasets.
