Can the Multi-Location Inventory and Locations features work together? What happens when both are activated?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it appears that the Multi-Location Inventory and Locations features can work together in NetSuite, but there are some considerations to keep in mind. When Multi-Location Inventory is enabled, it allows you to track inventory quantities across multiple locations. However, enabling this feature can be a significant project, especially if you have already been using the Locations feature without Multi-Location Inventory. If you have been using Locations across multiple subsidiaries and are considering enabling Multi-Location Inventory, you may face challenges. This is because Multi-Location Inventory enforces a one-to-one relationship between subsidiaries and locations, which could conflict with your existing setup if you have locations shared across multiple subsidiaries. If you are considering enabling Multi-Location Inventory, it is recommended to do so at the start of your NetSuite implementation, especially if you plan to use inventory. If you enable it later, you may need to update past transactions to add locations, which could be a significant task. If you only have one location and do not plan on having more, you may not need to enable Multi-Location Inventory. Locations can be used as non-inventory cost centers similar to class/department, if desired. However, it is generally not recommended to use Locations in this way, as it could complicate things if you decide to enable Multi-Location Inventory later. In terms of third-party inventory platforms, the conversations do not provide specific recommendations. However, it is suggested that there may be third-party solutions that can integrate with NetSuite and handle inventory across multiple locations and subsidiaries. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
