How does one handle when one fulfillment has multiple packages
d
We've done some work in this area to handle multiple packages per IF: https://extendtech.net/netsuite-item-fulfillment-packages/

Thanks Dino, does this work for inbound and outbound?
r
I can't remember what all you have to enable to get it to come up (I think one of the shipping integrations?), but there is package functionality within NetSuite if you want to check that out.
s
Hmm there is??
Need to do more digging I guess
r
I think setting up the shipping integration is the requirement now that I think about it a little more. If you don't use UPS or FedEx, I don't recall if you can "fake" up a connection to make those fields show. Caveat is that those fields are fairly difficult to access on reporting, which is annoying. But worth checking out before you buy something.
s
UPS/FedEx integration is enabled
d
The solution we've built is only for outbound shipments. Also, FYI the ShipEngine API that we leveraged in our build is actually the foundation of the ShipStation solution.

Ok @Suitestallion then there is obviously more to it than just the integration being active. I'm not sure what the additional things would be, but I know it's there.
