Hello All. I am very new to Netsuite and have been tasked with getting the Project Management Module up and running. We use Sales Orders as the main driver to generate invoices, Purchase Orders, Work Orders etc...... is there a way to have the ETA's for the items being entered on the Sales Orders transfer into the Project to update the ending/completion date (pushing out the time on the Gantt Chart)?

Projects may not be a good fit for your application. You could create scripts to create/update tasks to move the timeline accordingly. But if you are just looking at scheduling the manufacturing process, you may want to do something with the saved searches to get your relevant dates. You may want to talk to a NetSuite consultant about your requirements to find a good solution.

Woof. I second the Th3VanMan's opinion that the use case you're describing doesn't really sound like projects. And more generally, the projects module can be a a challenge. I've been doing NetSuite admin/implementation for 12 years, and the projects module is my second-most-hated one to implement after contract renewals. It's definitely not something that I would want to pick up as a "very new to NetSuite" person as it is not super intuitive and often doesn't fit most non-typical use cases easily without a lot of customization (in which case, why not just build what you want instead of customizing an existing thing you have to pay for?). But just my opinion, YMMV.
