Every SuiteCommerce website has product images. When an image is uploaded to the file cabinet, it needs to be labeled using the naming conventions defined in the SuiteCommerce website setup record. When the file is saved, the image is automatically associated to the item record in a sublist. SuiteCommmerce administrators are unable to run a saved search on the associated image easily because it exists as a sublist on the item record. Anchor Group created a bundle that allows you to run saved searches on the item record to find the associated images on the product page. This bundle is needed by any company that uses SuiteCommerce or SuiteCommerce Advanced.

It’s important to know what options are available and what principles to stick by when thinking about how best to build a SuiteCommerce customization.

Manufacturing labor costs are a significant and often unpredictable expense that frequently leads to budget overruns, yet most NetSuite users don't realize the Advanced Manufacturing module includes labor code functionality that tracks actual operator time against routing estimates. This supports in-process variance monitoring by comparing recorded labor activity to standards, so managers can spot issues earlier in the work order lifecycle. If you're running NetSuite for manufacturing, understanding how to implement labor codes can transform your shop floor visibility and profitability. Labor codes in NetSuite are skill-based identifiers that link qualified workers to specific manufacturing operations.

Comprehensive data compiled from industry research on integrated marketing performance, omnichannel ROI metrics, and media platform best practices. Organizations working with experienced NetSuite consultants achieve dramatically better results because expert partners understand integration elements that drive performance. With integrated marketing budgets growing across 75.8% of organizations, the data confirms media integration isn't optional—it's essential for competitive advantage.

Your standard NetSuite routing records capture the basics—but manufacturers dealing with complex production processes need more. The Advanced Manufacturing Work Bench transforms those basic routings into a production command center, enabling detailed work instructions, operation-level material tracking, and real-time shop floor data collection. With manufacturers achieving up to 30% production cost reduction through proper implementation, understanding how to configure routing extensions correctly separates efficient operations from costly guesswork.

Your production manager says Machine 3 had "a few breakdowns." Your CFO sees a $47K cost overrun. Without structured downtime tracking, you're flying blind—and that gap between shop floor reality and financial reporting can lead to significant untracked waste in manufacturing operations. NetSuite Advanced Manufacturing helps close that gap by capturing real-time data on equipment downtime, material waste, scrap, and defects directly from the shop floor, with all information flowing automatically into financial reporting and operational dashboards.

Outdated paper travelers and clipboard-based material tracking create costly blind spots on the shop floor. When operators follow inconsistent procedures and material consumption happens manually, manufacturers often face significant discrepancies between expected and actual component usage—making accurate job costing nearly impossible. NetSuite Advanced Manufacturing solves both challenges through integrated work instructions and real-time material tracking, enabling manufacturers to reduce error rates by up to 40% through unified systems.

Your spreadsheet shows healthy inventory levels—until a demand spike leaves you explaining why half your SKUs are on backorder. The gap between what you have and what you need costs businesses millions in expedited shipping, lost sales, and excess inventory. NetSuite's planning suite transforms reactive inventory management into predictive planning by analyzing historical sales data, current orders, and production schedules to project inventory positions 30-90 days into the future.
