NetSuite For Manufacturing

Cloud ERP that unifies BOM management, capacity scheduling, and real-time work order execution. Configure it right, and production data flows from planning to costing without manual reconciliation.

How NetSuite Handles Manufacturing

  • MRP performs BOM explosions, generates purchase requisitions from lead time offsets, creates work orders tied to inventory. Configure finite capacity scheduling to enforce work center limits or infinite scheduling for theoretical planning.

    Shop floor operators scan barcodes via tablets for labor, materials, and completions. Data posts immediately to WIP. Actual costs accrue as operations finish. Variance analysis isolates cost overruns by material, labor, or overhead.

Manufacturing Execution Gaps NetSuite Addresses

BOM revision control breaks when engineering changes update master BOMs but open work orders continue with outdated specs, causing rework and scrap.
A cheerful girl with a big smile, representing joy and positivity in performance tuning and workflow automation.
Negative inventory occurs when components are relieved days after consumption. Timing lag distorts WIP and triggers false MRP signals.
Lot traceability fails without proper configuration. You can't trace which finished goods contain suspect material batches during recalls.
Unenforced customer pricing keeps contracts in email while reps override prices, causing 4% margin erosion found after payment.
Component allocation forces planners into spreadsheets when supply can't meet demand because allocation rules aren't configured.
Costing variance shows actual costs exceeding standard, but reports don't isolate whether overruns come from material, labor, or overhead.
Capacity overcommitment happens with infinite scheduling showing theoretical load without validating work center availability. Machines overload.
Quality data disconnection requires manual correlation when inspection results live outside NetSuite instead of linking to work orders and lots.

Let's Get In Touch

How NetSuite helps manufacturers every day

  • Fewer order delays
    Materials arrive when you need them, not after.
    Faster shipping
    Orders move from the floor to the customer without manual steps.
    Clear numbers
    Finance sees the same data as production = no mismatched reports.
    Better supplier coordination
    Purchase orders and updates stay visible to everyone.
    Simple daily tracking
    Managers know what’s done, what’s pending, and what’s holding back progress.
    Room to grow
    Add new lines or plants without rebuilding your system.

Get your factory running the way it should

Stop guessing what’s running, what’s waiting, or what’s out of stock.

With Stockton10, your NetSuite setup tells you exactly what’s happening on the floor, in purchasing, and in finance all in real time.

Common Questions

How does Stockton10's manufacturing support work?

Assigned consultant with hands-on Work Order, routing, and MES experience. Handles system troubleshooting, performance tuning, and automation buildouts. Support hours roll forward indefinitely.

What's your response time for critical NetSuite issues?

30 minutes guaranteed acknowledgement for S1 tickets, 7 days a week.

What needs optimization post-launch?

MRP safety stock, finite scheduling rules, backflush timing, standard costs. Most need refinement 60-90 days after go-live.

How do you automate manufacturing tasks in NetSuite?

Script Work Order creation from demand, auto-route based on capacity, backflush materials on completion, alert on labor/material variances.

What happens when MES or shop floor integrations fail?

We diagnose equipment data collection breaks, PLM sync issues, quality system drops. Fix mappings and monitor logs to stop repeat failures.

Can you help scale NetSuite as we add production capacity?

Yes. New work center setup, routing extensions for additional lines, multi-site BOM configurations, and capacity planning adjustments as you expand.
