Configuration for NetSuite Outsourced Manufacturing
When working with outside contractors to manage the production process, NetSuite's outsourced assembly components are essential. These products are the materials that your external manufacturing partners will produce. A few crucial stages are involved in setting them up:
Set Up Assembly Item
Make the NetSuite item record that the outsourced vendors will assemble.
Navigate to Lists > Hower Accounting > Click on New Items.
• Choose the type of assembly on the page.
• Enter the necessary information, similar as the point's name, type (assembly), and any other applicable details.
• Create the bill of material (BOM) within the manufacturing subtab and set up the bill of material revision (BOM Revision) for the assembled items created.
Set Up Vendor
To assign an order in NetSuite Outsourced Manufacturing, you will have to select the vendor. The vendor will then be responsible for receiving the item and carrying out the manufacturing process. To set up the vendor, you can follow these steps.
• Select the' Edit' option located on the assembly point record.
• Select the vendor subtab at the bottom of the page after you've navigated to the purchase/inventory tab in the item record.
• In the vendor subtab, input the details of the outsourced vendor, such as the vendor's name, contact information, and any other relevant details required.
Set Up Price and Cost
For each item, it is necessary to establish a price that accurately accounts for the expenses associated with setting up the production process.
• Navigate to the specific item in the system, open it, and locate the "edit" option. Click on "edit" to make changes.
• Click on pricing on the item details page. The constructed item's price information must be entered here. In order to do this, the sales price must be specified, together with any relevant pricing tiers, if any.
• Double-check and ensure that all costs linked to the outsourced production, such as vendor costs and shipping costs, are accurately entered into the cost fields. It's crucial to reflect these costs correctly for accurate financial tracking and analysis.
Configure Inventory Settings
In NetSuite Outsourced Manufacturing, to locate stock in different locations and bins, it is essential to have detailed inventory information. This inventory detail is necessary for effectively trading an item.
• Define the inventory management process for these items in NetSuite. If you are directly shipping products to customers or sending them to your warehouses, you should configure these settings in the 'Inventory Detail' subtab.
• Establish and configure any specialized inventory tracking preferences that apply to your outsourced manufacturing operations.
By setting up the assembly items within the NetSuite system and activating the outsourced manufacturing functionality, you create a structured and organized method for supervising and controlling production in partnership with external suppliers. This setup is designed to improve operational efficiency while providing insight and control over outsourced manufacturing operations.
