Saved Search Build : Full Licensed Users Last Sign In

Image
Build Difficulty: 💗 This one is for when you would like to find out the last successful login of a full licensed user.  If a full licensed user have not login for a while, you can probably take them out to repurpose it for another user.  This also helps so you do not have to purchase additional user subscriptions. EMPLOYEE search CRITERIA Login Audit Trail : Status = Success Role : Center Type != Employee Center RESULTS Name (Group) Login Audit Trail : Date (Maximum) Role (Count) Word of Wisdom The performance of this can get slow when you get a larger set of data, in particular, large amount of users with frequent usage (in such case, you might want to consider filtering the audit dates).  Note that this search accounted for how many full licensed roles the user currently have.  It is when the administrator removes all full licensed roles then the provision is released back.

Procure to Pay

P2P (Procure to Pay) is the blueprint of how a company conduct the entire supply chain process.  This is a business process that describes the mechanism and the obligation of the company in order to complete the transaction.  This touches the Account Payable portion of the business which impacts expense.  Aside from the sales process, this is another area where you can expect the company generate a lot of its data in NetSuite.  The design of P2P process in NetSuite look like this... Purchase Order For a lot of companies, it starts out with a Purchase Order (to get to a new PO you can global search 'Enter Purchase Order').  A Purchase Order record is a non-posing transaction in NetSuite and there are a few key data points that you will need.  The subsidiary is the first key entry as you can have more than one company doing business through NetSuite.  The vendor you are getting the supply from will be required.  Of course, there is the items that yo...

Saved Search

Search can get bored, but when you found something meaningful, it gets exciting.  Data is growing in your NetSuite by the day, it will be useful only if you can extract out of it and put them in a way that is useful.  NetSuite provides many ways to consume data, and one powerful tool is called the Saved Search. In case you haven't notice, when you look at transaction record in NetSuite (it can be Sales Order, Item Fulfillment, Return Authorization, Purchase Order, Invoice, etc) you should see that there is a notion of a header level then a sub list (line) level data point.  This is important when you are creating saved searches, or any search.  A tip in creating saved searches is to keep a record type open in a new tab so you can reference the data point as you are setting it up. My prefer way of starting out a new saved search is global search 'new saved search'.  I usually tell users that one of the ways you can think of saved search is that you are working wi...

O2C (Order to Cash) is the blueprint of how a company conduct the entire sales process.  This is a business process that describes the mechanism and the obligation of the company in order to complete the transaction.  This touches the Account Receivable portion of the business that impacts revenue.  This is also easily one of places where the organizations start to generate most of its data in NetSuite.  So, here is the breakdown of the process in more detail... Sales Order NetSuite designed the O2C process by starting out in a non-posting Sales Order record (to start creating sales order you can global search 'Enter Sales Order').  In the sales record, there are a few major data points worth pointing out.  The obvious is the subsidiary the customer is buying it from, keep in mind that you can have more than one company doing business through NetSuite (you might not now but in future times).  Next is the customer who is making the purchase.  Then ...
