With MRP module installed, how do I automatically notify specific users when a reorder point is reached? Should this be done differently when the MRP module is installed, than how it's done when the NetSuite account has no MRP module?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, you can set up automatic notifications when a reorder point is reached, regardless of whether the MRP module is installed or not. This can be achieved by creating a saved search that identifies items that have reached their reorder point and then scheduling this search to run at regular intervals. When the search finds items that meet the criteria, it can send an email to specific users notifying them of the situation. Here's a general outline of how you can set this up: 1. Go to Reports > New Search. 2. Select Item as the record type. 3. On the Criteria subtab, set the following filters: - Type is any of Inventory Item, Assembly/Bill of Materials. - Reorder Point is less than Available (or On Hand, depending on your preference). 4. On the Results subtab, add the fields you want to appear in the email. This might include the item name, reorder point, and available quantity. 5. On the Email subtab, add the recipients of the email. These would be the specific users you want to notify. 6. Save the search and then click the 'Schedule' button. Set the frequency at which you want the search to run and the email to be sent. If the MRP module is installed, the process is essentially the same. The MRP module in NetSuite is used for planning and scheduling materials requirements based on production schedules. It doesn't directly interact with reorder points or notifications. However, it can help to inform what your reorder points should be by providing insights into your materials requirements. Remember, this is a general guide and you may need to adjust the steps to fit your specific business processes and NetSuite setup. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
