Manufacturing
Manufacturing companies use NetSuite's cloud manufacturing ERP to provide end-to-end improvements in information, workflow, process, quality, and agility before, during, and after production.
End-to-End Efficiency Improvement
From the shop floor to the top floor, NetSuite helps growing manufacturers control, coordinate, and manage every aspect of their operations in one place. A single manufacturing ERP system for CRM, sales, quoting, order processing, planning and scheduling, procurement, supply chain visibility, order management, production control, quality management, shop floor control, product data management, financials, budgeting, reporting, and compliance gives every department complete corporate visibility. Everyone in the organization knows what they need to be doing when they need to do it, while management can see manufacturing KPI’s and performance across every function and quickly identify exceptions that require action.
Because no two manufacturers are the same, NetSuite software offers the power and flexibility to support and adapt to your exact processes as they change over time — whether you run discrete, batch, or mixed-mode manufacturing across one location or many.

NetSuite Manufacturing ERP: Core Capabilities
NetSuite Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a complete cloud solution for high-growth, mid-sized businesses and large enterprises. For manufacturers, it automates front- and back-office processes including financial management, revenue management, fixed assets, order management, billing, and inventory management. Automated tracking provides real-time insights into stock levels, item locations, demand patterns, and order status. Automated reorder points allocate inventory more effectively, reducing carrying costs while minimizing the risk of stockouts and missed production runs.
NetSuite Supply Chain Management helps manufacturers create purchase orders, transfer orders, and work orders simply and effectively. Real-time visibility means you always know your supply chain status and can quickly identify and act on cost variances as they occur. NetSuite provides full distribution requirement planning (DRP) capabilities for multi-location planning, and supports requests for quote, blanket purchase orders, and purchase contracts to ensure the right materials are available at the right time, in the right place.
NetSuite Manufacturing provides your organization with the capabilities to turn components into finished goods. SuiteSuccess for Manufacturing includes work order management, WIP and routing, BOM revision change control, ghost BOMs, multi-level assemblies, linked WO-PO, and standard costing. The WIP and Routing module lets organizations track work-in-process and material consumption at work centers, with time allocation to each manufacturing step.
Production scheduling achieves the balance between complexity and usability with a real-time scheduling engine that supports both forward and backward scheduling, finite and infinite capacity planning, flexible sequencing, and drag-and-drop manual overrides. Each location can configure production control independently to fit its own facilities and data requirements, with automatic status updates, real-time work order views, and batch completion processing. NetSuite also supports LIFO, FIFO, average, standard, and actual costing methods, giving manufacturers the flexibility to cost inventory the way their business requires.
NetSuite Advanced Manufacturing enhances core manufacturing capabilities with real-time visibility, finite capacity planning, detailed work center calendars, and a MES tablet-based interface. Designed for both discrete and batch-driven manufacturers, it ensures your product is produced and delivered as intended with full end-to-end lot traceability — every batch is individually processed and tracked. Advanced Manufacturing also supports FIFO material issuance for lot-controlled items, batch travelers with automatic batch lot IDs, and a configurable tablet-based Quality Management solution for teams that need shop floor quality controls integrated directly into production workflows.
