release work orders and other processes. From the Advanced Manufacturing Admin Console you can find all the settings you need to configure NetSuite to operate in the most efficient way to suit your environment.

NetSuite Manufacturing

NetSuite offers three options to help you deploy our manufacturing functionality to most closely match your manufacturing needs. In addition, if you have different manufacturing locations you can opt to make the same item in a different way at each location.

• Work Orders & Assemblies works best for companies who do some light assembly but don’t need to track work in process or the labor separately.
• WIP & Routings adds the ability to define work centers, routings, track labor costing, infinite capacity scheduling and provides a Gantt chart with drag-and-drop functionality.
• Advanced Manufacturing provides for those looking for complete control of all aspects of their manufacturing processes including finite capacity scheduling and manufacturing execution.
