NetSuite ERP for Administrators

By: Anthony Bickof

Overview of this book

NetSuite ERP is a complete, scalable cloud ERP solution targeted at fast-growing, mid-sized businesses and large enterprises. It's the smartly executed combination of financial management operations and built-in business intelligence, which enables companies to make data-driven and well-informed decisions. This book will help administrators become expert enough to be seen as the NetSuite leader at their company and to be able to advise department heads on specific processes, and strategic decisions. We start with an overview of ERP and NetSuite ERP, before going on to explain the built-in features to show the breadth of NetSuite ERP's product and its ease of use. We then discuss business aspects, focusing on the most important processes in NetSuite. Then you'll understand the implementation aspects that are generic enough to cover all the features. The focus then shifts to specific skills that you will need to administer for any system, such as roles, permissions, customization, and data imports. Moving on, you'll learn how to centralize the creation of search templates and give users the tools to pivot the data and expose it to the user in useful ways, such as on the dashboard. The book ends with checklists providing actionable steps that you as an administrator can take to do your job and support the application through new releases and troubleshooting problems.

Summary


In this chapter, we demonstrated many of the standard functionalities that are available to solve the challenges faced by your business. We divided this up into three sections, based on the audience experiencing the challenge. You can use the Features that support businesses section to guide your management on strategic business decisions. You can use the Features that support users section to help end users perform their day-to-day tasks easily and efficiently. You can use Features that support administrators to save yourself time and hassle, with more of an impact on the company's use of the ERP.

Many of you will be administering NetSuite's multi-company consolidation module, so we will look at NetSuite OneWorld in the next chapter. We will provide a framework for understanding OneWorld, in order to simplify this complex module.
