It has been quiet the past few days. So what is the coolest/most impressive thing you've built with SuiteScript? For me it is a bit mundane but I quite like our automated customer bulk invoice mailer. We also rebuilt the SPS inventory process to include pricing/quantities as a script vs 20+ saved searches to make it easier to manage changes (example: we had to add safety stock rules and it was a pain to update every search previously)

A couple of things. On work orders, a script which looks at the batch size, figures out which scale can be used to weigh out materials, and does units of measure conversion and rounding within a tolerated variance of quantity to consume. For example, when 100 pounds or more are called for, a heavy duty scale having 1-pound precision can be used. But a small lab batch of the same product is converted to grams and the amount called for will be expressed as grams and fractions of a gram. These numbers are printed on the work order traveler for the batchmaker. A what-if costing tool that puts a button on each item master record, explodes the bill of materials, and shows the future cost to manufacture, either from scratch (total cost) or based on current inventory on hand (gap cost), with the ability to override last cost with a future quoted cost on each component.

Consolidated shipments. Where multiple orders gets shipped together to save on shipping cost. Extremely useful for b2b business where transaction volume is high and customer is comparitevly less.

raghav, How do you handle consolidated shipment creation? Can you add additional relationships between order->if? I thought that was always a 1:1. We use ShipHawk to take care of it. Edward, Those sound pretty useful.. especially the latter one. doubtful.. is it on github? 🙂

@Christopher Quackenbush these were work for hire. I could look into it though. I don't know how much work would have to go into them to be useful to another business but maybe not a lot.

Yeah I figured it wasn't. Netsuite really should have something like that built in for planning.

All our integration to various shipping carrier whether it's ltl or truckload are custom. We have a suitelet which captures the sales order and their respective item fulfillment in a single page, where the customer, shipping address, shipping date, etc. everything matches. Operation team can pack the items, print labels, and then click on create order which creates a single order for all the 2-10 item fullfill ent as single order in the shipping partner system, they send the truck and they just move those items to the truck. Hope it make sense.

Sales Rep, Price Level and Location auto-assignment based on the zip code. Integrations with various platforms for ex. Samsara, NPS
