@C_Billings Thanks for this pointer. My company already works consultants, so we will not be purchasing any more consulting resources. My purpose in doing this research is to find out the best way that I can become my company's internal Netsuite expert so that we no longer need to work with consultants in the future. I work for a Catholic non-profit organization that distributes books. We currently have about $10million in inventory in our warehouse and we distribute many thousands of packages each year. Let me know if anyone would like to know any more context on my organization.

Dan, I would say start with grouping your business processes by composite and write down your business requirements. For example Record to Report, for Non-Profit org, your Chart of Accounts is usually different so you might detail your requirements on Chart of Accounts, Design to Build, Procure to Pay, etc. I would imagine, you want a process wherein you can record donations, etc. In order to understand what NetSuite can do for you, you need to first understand what you need from the NetSuite software.
From there, since you’re a beginner, you can read the Help Center topic by topic so you will not be overwhelmed with information and understand them by composite. Of course, I mean you will learn a ton of other things by actually simulating your requirements in the system. It could be a very simple requirement to a mind-blowing complex requirement. I hope this helps and good luck!

Get a sandbox! I would say that 90% of what I know about NetSuite I have learned through SuiteAnswers and then testing in the SandBox.

Inventory/Advanced Inventory/WMS in NS requires a great deal of study and application. You need to comb through hundreds of pages of manuals and watch videos on SuiteAnswers and/or posted publicly. You may need to get an SuiteApp like RF Smart that uses bar-code scanners.
