We have our locations setup in mutliple subsidiaries at the same time and this prevents us from using NetSuite's native inventory module. Is there any 3rd party inventory platform that can integrate well with NetSuite that anyone can recommend?

I am not understanding your use case where you cannot use NS native inventory module because you have Locations in different Subs?L

This is a NetSuite limitation. if you have 1 location tied to multiple subsidiaries, you cannot turn on the inventory module in NetSuite. We have valid reasons for our accounting to be this way. I just want to see if there is anyone out there using a third party inventory module that can integrate with NetSuite

Are the Subs considered actual separate legal entities?
c
Yes kind of
There is just no way for us to change this based on our business needs. So what i need to know if if anyone has integrated a 3rd party Inventory management system into NetSuite.

This is never going to work how you want it to because NetSuite treats the Location records as actual physical Locations. Why I was asking if they are separate legal entities or not for the Subs is because you would want to create a Custom segment with Child segments to provide you with the reporting that you are looking for. Then you would not need the different Subs and could avoid not ever being able to find a software that will work with your current setup.

Interesting, let me take that back to the finance team and see if we can work with this idea. Thank you for the tip.
