What is NetSuite order fulfilment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NetSuite order fulfilment refers to your business\u2019s orders being picked, packed, and shipped on time across sales channels while maintaining visibility within the NetSuite ERP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ecommerce retailers can fulfil orders with NetSuite using a variety of common fulfilment practices like picking, packing, shipping, and inventory management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While these practices are standard throughout the order fulfilment process<\/a>, NetSuite order fulfilment offers distinct features like extensive customisation and deep integration with the NetSuite ERP which enables seamless business functions for financials, customer relationship management (CRM), and supply chain management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does NetSuite order fulfilment work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NetSuite order fulfilment has the same core principles as standard order fulfilment. However, there are additional capabilities and integrations that are afforded to businesses that use NetSuite order fulfilment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pick, pack & ship<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once a customer places an order and the order is processed within NetSuite, items are picked and packed. NetSuite generates a pick list to aid warehouse staff with locating and choosing the items in the order. Once picked, warehouse staff packs the order and prepares it for shipment. NetSuite can generate packing slips and shipping labels to ensure items are ready for transit and will arrive at their final destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cross-subsidiary fulfilment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cross-subsidiary fulfilment<\/a> is a feature in the NetSuite ERP that allows companies with various subsidies to fulfil orders across entities within the same NetSuite account. This feature is most often used for businesses that operate in different geographic regions or countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When an order is received in NetSuite, the system determines the ideal subsidiary or location to fulfil the order from based on factors such as availability, proximity, and shipping cost. At that point, the order fulfilment process begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the subsidiary doesn\u2019t have the needed inventory on hand, NetSuite will facilitate an inventory transfer from another subsidiary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carrier integration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

NetSuite allows businesses to integrate with multiple shipping couriers, allowing real-time shipment tracking and label printing from the NetSuite interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NetSuite supports popular couriers like UPS, USPS, FedEx<\/a>, and DHL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dropdown lists<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can use NetSuite\u2019s dropdown lists to view and manage information at different points of the fulfilment process. Using dropdown lists in NetSuite, you can filter the packing slip list by orders as picked or packed and view order status to view when orders are pending, in progress shipped, or canceled. Additionally, there are dropdown lists for shipping methods, integrated couriers, and package types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fulfilment requests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A fulfilment request in NetSuite is a transaction that acts as a step between the sales order and the fulfilment process. This is most frequently used to allow employees to manage orders that need to be shipped or picked up by customers. Depending on the type of fulfilment request, shipping orders are sent to the customer\u2019s shipping address, and pickup orders are picked up by customers at the retail store or location.<\/p>\n\n\n
