What would you recommend as the best place to start in Oracle NetSuite to become a well-rounded functional consultant? I'm currently a NetSuite developer, but I struggle with understanding the functional business processes within NetSuite. Because of that, when potential clients approach me, I'm often hesitant to take on functional consulting work since I don't feel confident managing the ERP from a functional perspective, or at least understanding the core modules and business processes.

Get very familiar with the accounting processes and needs. Because NetSuite was originally built as an accounting system, at its core everything drives to this. For example: Order to Cash, billing, rev rec, payment application Procurement to Pay Vendor invoices, payments, credits Then bank rec Once you've seen and dealt with these daily processes for a number of customers/scenarios it helps with understanding the settings and modules available as well as proper report building
Then work up stream to understand operational modules/ functions like manufacturing, warehouse operations, project management, CRM, etc
But ideally those all drive toward accurate GL and accounting processes so that core foundation will serve you well
