NetSuite Release 2014.1 Highlights

With NetSuite Version 2014 Release 1, we are excited to introduce the latest version of the NetSuite for iPhone app. This new version enables iPhone users to work with more record types, plus offers mobile-specific time tracking and expense management capabilities. Users can:

• Create and submit time entries and expense reports after completing a job, directly upload images of receipts, view time entries on a timesheet/week basis, and more
• Manage business relationships with complete access to vendor and partner records, and create, edit and approve bills and purchase orders
• Track and maintain other important business information via custom record support, specifically search for any exposed custom record, use saved searches to access more NetSuite data, and create and update information without the need for prior configuration
• Upload any image from the device, such as a receipt photographed with an iPhone, as an attachment to any supported record

As a project or resource manager, one of the most important aspects of your role is to monitor the allocations for each of your resources so that you can effectively balance their workloads. Some resources might be over-allocated while others might be under-allocated. With NetSuite Version 2014 Release 1, NetSuite introduces simplified project workflow, team collaboration and resource allocation, all with drag-and-drop simplicity.

• The new dynamic, real-time Resource Allocation Chart provides an intuitive visual representation that enables project and resource managers to view an individual resource’s workload and availability, supporting efforts to optimize resource management.
• The Resource Allocation Chart empowers users to manage resource allocations (edit, create, drag and drop), and search, view, match and select resources for allocation to projects. Settings may be edited to suit visual preferences.

• Project managers can see at a glance important key performance indicators (KPIs) such as which projects are on time, under budget and destined for success.
• As team members enter information, dashboard updates automatically to provide you with an up-to-date view of the current health of your projects, while it’s happening.
• The dashboard can be customized easily. You can show and hide any of the charts displayed to ensure that you have the right information at the right time. And you can select the data you want to display in each chart.

• For sales orders that need to be recognized in accordance with revenue recognition schedules, accountants can now enjoy faster processing of journal entries that recognize revenue.
• With NetSuite Version 2014 Release 1, revenue accountants will be able run batches that require fewer journal entries and less processing time to post revenue-related journal entries.

• Rather than uploading files one at a time and manually picking through folders to attach files, users can now upload files into a record directly from the desktop by clicking and dragging single or multiple files.
• This simplified action substantially increases productivity and promotes best practices in file-keeping when sharing file-based information with colleagues.

• Inventory Count Sheet: A form that will contain item information that needs to be counted. Often associated with conducting year-end audit valuations of inventory, the inventory count sheet can be used by warehouse personnel to perform physical inventory counts and inspections for any warehouse on a regular basis.
• Manufacturing Dispatch List: A list that provides details of new and outstanding operations by work center, which includes labor requirements per work center, start dates, quantity information and tasks that are past due.
• Manufacturing Traveler: A document that keeps track of which products need to be created or repaired and the steps needed for the specific tasks in creating the product. This form is passed from work center to work center as each manufacturing task is completed.

• Warehouse managers, manufacturing managers and accountants will now be able to set up warranty information for any item available for sale and then register the warranty once the product is sold.
• Customers will then be able to file a claim case, which can be validated by a support representative who will compare the claim to the warranty information associated with the item.
• Once the claim is verified, options will be available to refund, repair or replace the defective product for the customer.

• With a few simple clicks, any user can conveniently create and attach notes to a NetSuite record.
• Collaborate with your global workforce more effectively by communicating with the proper context and never losing relevant information accompanying your data.

With NetSuite Version 2014 Release 1, marketing managers will be able to perform email list clean-up tasks much more efficiently.

• Managers can automate unsubscriptions for all invalid email addresses on a scheduled basis, as opposed to exerting significant time and resources to identify and rectify addresses one at a time.
• As a result, email marketing campaigns will see a lower bounce rate and a better delivery rate, while minimizing emails tagged as spam.
