Customer first creates invoice for customer, then they should prepare shipment process. Do you know a way to achieve this?
Today, in Acumatica you have to create SO, then shipment then Invoice.
First create a Sales Order.
Then go to Distribution->Sales Orders->Work Area->Enter->Invoices screen.
Use the ADD ORDER button to add the sales order to the invoice:
Auto-Release setting in Distribution->Sales Orders->Configuration->Setup->Sales Order Preference screen:

I am updating my company's system so that it supports dropshipping items. Ever since I switched to this type of item it asks me to complete the order after I approved it. what is it that I am missing so that I can skip this step altogether, is it even possible to skip the step, or to complete multiple orders at the same time (like how you can approve multiple orders)?
It bears mentioning the Company operates in Mexico.
the steps I take are as follow:
I create and save a sales order, that is, I put in the client, the document and reference number, and the item, as well as a couple of custom fields
the next screen asks me to approve the order, I do it and it creates the matching purchase order
then instead of being able to invoice, I first have to "complete" which takes me to an order fulfillment form
I save that and the order can be invoiced.
Ideally, after approval, I would just be able to invoice
Generally a sales order is not invoicable until it's been fulfilled.
You can override that at a whole account level by going to
Setup -> Accounting -> Accounting Preferences
Order Management tab
scroll to Invoicing
check 'Invoice in Advance of Fulfillment'
Be aware this is a system level setting and if you used to be able to invoice before fulfillment someone else in your company may have unchecked this setting in the recent past.
Alternatively at the individual item level you can use the 'Can be fulfilled/received' checkbox to allow invoicing without fulfilling. Note that 'Can be fulfilled/received' may not be changed after an item has been ordered.
Normally (US/Canada) an order should not be invoiced until it is shipped. Customer Deposits on Sales Orders are the preferred way to handle pre-payment for GAAP etc reasons.
After surfing the web for more than 3 months, most of the problems that will face NetSuite users are related to Item Fulfillment. I want to know what is the relation between the Invoice and Item Fulfillment.
Invoice will not be created until we fulfill the order, so, there must be a relation between Invoice & IF.
But unfortunately, I cannot get at least Item Fulfillment Order #.
Our Customers are asking to include the Number in the Invoice, but, there is no relation between the 2 records unless one field which is (created from) and this field is getting the Sales Order Number and it is useless to us, since we may issue from one sales order many Item Fulfillment Transactions.
Could anyone suggest any help or hint on how to reach Item Fulfillment # from Invoice Record?
Thanks a lot
There is no system link between an Invoice and an Item Fulfillment.
Sales Orders are linked to one or more Item Fulfillments, and one or more Invoices, but as far as NetSuite is concerned there is nothing connecting any specific fulfillment to any specific invoice. In fact you could have products from multiple fulfillments that are invoiced together, or vice versa, a single fulfillment with multiple invoices.
If you want to store a link between the two documents you would need to customize this yourself using scripting and a custom field.
functionally it is possible only if the policy goes by One SO-One IF-One Inv.
Else you may need to look for scripting.
I have created a custom checkbox and I have to mark it to true whenever any thing is changed on the record. My problem is I do not have to use lastmodified date because lastmodified is not working as all the items are coming in search. Whenever an item is shipped, it's inventory is changed but i would like to know on which context it changes. It is possible to do with workflow. How?
Inventory change is via different record types in NetSuite, and will not be via item.
I think you will need to write User Event Script or workflow on following record types to detect all Inventory changes:
1) Item Fulfillment
2) Item Receipt
3) Item Transfer
4) Inventory Adjustment
Apart from these there are other mechanism to make an impact on inventory, I am not sure if NetSuite allows user event script or workflows on these:
1) Inventory worksheet
2) Physical Count
For the case of Item being shipped from a Sales Order an Item Fulfillment is created, so, you can deploye your workdlow or user event on Item Fulfillment in that case.
Edit: Transfer Order isn't applicable as #bknights suggested. Inventory alterations would be actually made by Item Fulfillment/Receipt records in case of Transfer Orders.
When I click and fulfill an order we Debit COGS ("cost of goods sold") and Credit Inventory. The issue is there was no shipment at this point. I run into a problem because when we click fulfill to print the pick ticket but the sale may occur in the next month.
Is there a way to configure the system so that the fulfill function does not record the COGS, but the COGS is recorded upon shipping? If not, what is the work around?
It is especially difficult in large Netsuite orders to do receipts and billing, considering we are using Advanced Receiving and are going into a particular order multiple times and partially receiving each time. Is there a way in Netsuite to create a Vendor Bill based on the final contents of a particular Item Fulfillment (if Drop Shipped) or Item Receipt?
Billing Purchase Orders
Billing a purchase order indicates you have received an invoice from the vendor for items purchased and creates a bill in accounts payable. You can turn your purchase order into a bill without rekeying any data.
If you use Advanced Receiving, you can receive an order and create a bill in separate steps. To enable advanced receiving, go to Setup > Enable Features. On the Purchase Transactions subtab, check the Advanced Receiving box, and click Save.
Note:
When you create a standalone bill or bill an existing purchase order, the transaction >requires an active Accounts Payable account. For an active account, you must enable an >existing Accounts Payable account, create a new Accounts Payable account, or contact your >System Administrator.
To bill a purchase order with Advanced Receiving:
Go to Transactions > Purchases/Vendors > Bill Purchase Orders.
On the Bill Purchase Orders page, in the Vendor field, select a vendor to create bills for.
You can select All to show all open bills, but you can create bills for only one vendor at a time.
Check the box in the Bill column next to all purchase orders you want to bill.
If you check more than one purchase order, items from all the purchase orders you check are grouped together on one bill.
Click Submit.
The bill appears and shows the purchase order items.
If Match Bill to Receipt is enabled on the purchase order when the vendor bill is created, you can select specific receipts in the Receipts column. Then, the values on the receipt determine the following:
A bill is created for specific receipts that are selected.
The bill is checked against receipt values for variances.
If the information on the bill is correct, click Save.
