NetSuite articles

Introduction 

In the digital age, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a transformative force across industries, reshaping how businesses operate and innovate. AI encompasses various domains, each tailored to specific applications that enhance business processes and decision-making.  Artificial intelligence includes a variety of domains with distinct applications, each potentially complementary:

Each AI domain uniquely advances its field, offering specific strengths. Together, these technologies are integral to developing comprehensive, intelligent systems across various industries.  

How AI is changing industries and business applications

Expert predictions for 2024 suggest that businesses leveraging AI across their operations are more likely to achieve significant success and stay competitive. AI technologies are transforming key business areas such as customer service, sales, product development, fraud detection, and risk management by automating complex processes and creating new efficiencies.

This commitment to AI innovation by Oracle ensures that the NetSuite solutions we provide our clients are at the forefront of technological advancements.

NetSuite and AI

Similar AI-powered solutions are accessible in the EU with the SuiteApp of Zone&Co, ZoneCapture, which also leverages AI to enhance efficiency. ZoneCapture automates the extraction and verification of details from vendor invoices, significantly reducing manual data entry. This not only speeds up the process but also increases accuracy, ensuring that invoices are processed more efficiently and correctly matched with related purchase orders and receipts. You can learn more about ZoneCapture's capabilities in this video by Zone & Co.

  • Business Intelligence: AI capabilities in NetSuite Analytics Warehouse help reveal patterns and opportunities across data sets, facilitating deeper insights and more informed strategic decisions. At Novutech, we can implement these advanced analytics solutions for our clients (among PowerBI, Tableau, ZoneReporting or NSAW), enabling them to leverage AI-driven insights for optimal decision-making and operational efficiency. By utilizing these tools, businesses can uncover valuable trends and opportunities, making data-driven decisions that drive growth.

[PIAS] Customer testimonial - Global financial harmony thanks to NetSuite

Customer use case

October 08 2021

About [PIAS]

[PIAS], short for "Play It Again, Sam," a nod to the famous line from Casablanca, is an independent Belgian record label founded in 1982 in Brussels by Kenny Gates and Michel Lambot. From its inception, [PIAS] has supported and promoted artists globally through a passionate international network of music lovers. Over the years, the company has expanded its reach by opening subsidiaries in various countries. This client testimonial delves into the history of [PIAS] and its successful partnership with Novutech.  

Integration of NetSuite at [PIAS] 

Initially focused on distributing records from independent labels in Belgium, [PIAS] has broadened its footprint over time by opening subsidiaries across multiple continents and acquiring key labels, such as the classical music label Harmonia Mundi. To support and manage its growth, [PIAS] needed to streamline its financial operations, standardize its accounting processes, and harmonize its systems. Thus, the company naturally turned to NetSuite as its ERP solution.

Objectives and achievements with NetSuite

The primary goal for [PIAS] with NetSuite was to centralize the financial management of its numerous subsidiaries. With NetSuite, [PIAS] now manages about 30 subsidiaries, involving more than 35 users from the financial department. The use of the tool has lead to standardized accounting processes, thereby facilitating the consolidation of financial data. Notably, NetSuite's adaptability in managing multiple legislations and currencies has been invaluable. [PIAS] has also digitized all its accounting processes, eliminating paper archives entirely with everything now hosted digitally within NetSuite. The second objective was to integrate solutions to better address complexities related to data volume, automation, and integration with external tools. Complexities arise from the need to record artist royalties revenues and expenses in the subsidiaries where these contracts are signed, involving many inter-subsidiary costs and revenue recharges. Various solutions and automations have been implemented, including multiple segmentations, workflows for recharging with mirroring intercompany invoices, and self-billing for automatic creation of supplier invoices.

Smart optimization in the purchasing process

[PIAS] has deliberately chosen to systematically use purchase items rather than simply posting on general ledger accounts when entering purchases, from the initial issuing of purchase orders down to the processing of vendor bills. This strategy has enabled effective expense management while enhancing overall understanding within the teams. The approach was primarily chosen to facilitate intercompany re-invoicing and mirroring of intercompany invoices during intercompany recharges, as NetSuite intelligently uses revenue or expense accounts related to items, representing a significant flow in [PIAS]'s operations.

Other custom solutions added

  • Novutech's dunning solution
  • Use of Novutech's tool to generate structured payment references;
  • Implementation of customized sales orders to meet specific business requirements, ensuring precise and effective sales tracking and reporting;
  • Use of ZoneReconcile for automated processing of bank statements;
  • Development and integration of a customized purchase order approval workflow, thereby optimizing internal processes.

Future Objectives

Some of the objectives for the future are: continue to harmonize processes across various subsidiaries, extend the use of the payment module, integrate a bank reconciliation tool, and develop or integrate new tools for business analytics.

Conclusion

Thanks to NetSuite, [PIAS] has achieved global financial harmony, unifying operations across its many subsidiaries. The company has overcome complex challenges related to royalty management and optimized its financial processes. [PIAS] continues to evolve, even considering stock management in the near future. This client testimonial illustrates the power of NetSuite in transforming and optimizing financial operations for international companies like [PIAS].

Quote

About Novutech: “Novutech has been a trusted partner to [PIAS] since the beginning of our NetSuite journey. We have relied on their expertise and product knowledge, as well as their professionalism. Furthermore, Novutech's team is always available and attentive to our needs. Novutech is a reliable partner without whom the tool we use today would not be as effective and efficient. Thank you Novutech!” Nicolas De Bie, Finance Director [PIAS] About NetSuite: “NetSuite is the ideal solution to meet the needs of an international company like [PIAS]: integration of subsidiaries across different continents (Europe, UK, USA, Australia) and multi-currency management (EUR/USD/GBP/AUD), numerous analytical axes to facilitate reporting, and ease of consolidation thanks to the intercompany automation features. NetSuite offers a comprehensive solution that can be easily tailored to our specific needs. Besides allowing the [PIAS] group to unify the systems used in the many subsidiaries of our group, NetSuite has enabled us to entirely digitize our accounting and financial processes.” Nicolas De Bie, Finance Director [PIAS]

NetSuite Custom GL Plug-in: what is it, how to set it up and some practical examples

NetSuite articles

October 08 2021

Introduction

In NetSuite, custom General Ledger (G/L) lines are used to enhance and customize the accounting entries generated by the system's standard processes. When posting transactions to the General Ledger, such as Item Shipments or Receipts, Invoices or Vendor Bills, Assembly Builds, Inventory Adjustments etc., NetSuite generates accounting impacts on accounts that are pre-defined, a.o. on Items and/or Customers and/or Vendors. These preconfigured postings are not always the desired ones for businesses that have to meet specific accounting standards, special regulatory or tax requirements, or business practices that are not addressed by NetSuite's default settings. The Custom GL Plug-in feature offers the possibility to customize those standard accounting impacts according to your company’s individual accounting needs.

Prerequisites

In order to use the Custom GL Plug-in option, you need to activate 2 features. Go to Setup > Company > Enable Features. Then, on the SuiteCloud subtab, enable the following features: Server Suite Script and Custom GL Lines. 

Application

In this example, we need Custom GL Plug-ins on 3 types of transactions: item receipts, assembly builds and vendor bills. The standard GL impacts were not matching with the specific requirements of our NetSuite customer. Therefore, we have created specific GL impacts by means of the Custom GL Plug-in feature. 

Item receipts

The calculations to be made by the Custom GL Plug-in are the following: 
  • Credit: quantity * rate on the item expense account (account number 609000 in this particular Belgian-style chart of accounts). 
  • Debit: quantity * rate on the item purchase account (600000). Note: the purchase account was created as a custom field on the Item record. 
As an additional condition, the plug-in needed to only run on the item receipts that are not created from a transfer order.  Here is an example of the final GL impacts on an item receipt recorded against a purchase order for the “bulk powder” item. Note that amounts are strictly hypothetical.  The two last lines are calculated by a Custom GL Plug-in. This Custom GL Plugin leaves the standard G/L posting intact, but adds additional lines to make the end result compliant with the accounting standards as desired by our customer.  Note: amounts are hypothetical

Assembly builds

The calculations made by this particular Custom GL Plug-in are the following: 
  • Credit: quantity * rate on the COGS account of the final product (713000). 
  • Debit: quantity * rate on the COGS account of the raw materials (603000). 
  • Debit: quantity * rate on the COGS account of the manufacturing charges (609000). 
  • Credit: total amount of the manufacturing charges on account 444000 (static value). 
  • Debit: total amount of the manufacturing charges on account 603000 (static value). 
Note: amounts are hypothetical

Vendor bills

The calculations made by this last Custom GL Plug-in on Vendor Bills are the following: 
  • Credit: total amount of the manufacturing charges on account 603000 (static value).
  • Debit: total amount of the manufacturing charges on account 444000 (static value). 
Note: amounts are hypothetical

Application Integration how-to: comparing IPaaS and Point-to-Point integration for business success

Broad ERP/Tech

October 08 2021

Introduction

In today's fast-paced and data-driven business environment, the seamless integration of applications, systems, and data sources is not just a convenience but a necessity. At Novutech, we understand the critical role that efficient, reliable integration solutions play in streamlining operations, enhancing productivity, and driving growth at companies using a diverse IT landscape. This article explores two main approaches to integration: Integration Platforms as a Service (IPaaS) and Point-to-Point Integration. We'll delve into their advantages, limitations, and how choosing the right path can significantly impact your business dynamics.  

Understanding IPaaS and Point-to-Point integration

Before we compare the two, let's define our terms. IPaaS, or Integration Platform as a Service, is a dedicated solution on its own that offers a suite of tools and services designed to facilitate the connection between various business systems and applications through a single platform. On the other hand, Point-to-Point Integration refers to the direct connection of two systems (without middleware) typically developed in-house, to ensure they can communicate and share data seamlessly.  

The case for IPaaS

IPaaS solutions, such as Workato and Celigo, with which Novutech holds extensive experience and multiple certifications, bring a plethora of benefits to the table.  They provide a comprehensive, visual overview of the information shared between systems, which is invaluable for managing complex data flows.  Another one of the standout advantages of IPaaS solutions is their error management capabilities. Platforms like Celigo simplify the process of identifying, reprocessing, and even modifying data associated with errors, thereby ensuring continuity and reliability in business operations.  Also, the use of an IPaaS solution greatly reduces the complexity and time required for integration projects, because there’s no need for extensive custom coding. Finally, IPaaS allows businesses to handle multiple integrations in a centralized location, enhancing visibility and control over their integration landscape. As iPaaS platforms are designed to scale with your business needs, they can accommodate additional integrations and more complex workflows as your business grows and evolves, without the need for significant additional investment.

IPaaS advantages:

  • Enhanced Visibility and Management: provides a comprehensive overview of information shared between systems, facilitating the management of complex data flows.
  • Simplified Error Handling: offers intuitive tools for identifying, reprocessing, and even modifying data associated with errors, ensuring business continuity.
  • Centralized Management out-of-the-box: allows for the centralized management of multiple integrations from a single platform, improving control and oversight, without extensive custom coding.
  • Scalability: scale with your business needs, without major additional investments.

IPaaS disadvantages:

  • Cost Considerations: the implementation of an IPaaS solution represents a significant investment, with ongoing expenses related to platform management and sometimes, depending on the pricing model, usage fees based on exchanged data quantities.
  • Platform Dependency: adopting an IPaaS solution introduces dependency on an additional platform, which may require businesses to adapt their operations accordingly.
 

Point-to-Point integration: the Novutech edge

At Novutech, we excel in leveraging NetSuite SuiteScript to create customized Point-to-Point Integration solutions. Our expertise allows us to tailor the integration process to meet the exact needs of our clients, providing a level of customization that IPaaS solutions cannot match. Operating without the need for an additional platform, P2P Integration offers direct, streamlined communication between systems.

Point-to-Point integration advantages:

  • Customization: offers the highest possible degree of customization to meet specific business needs, enabling tailored integration solutions.
  • Direct Integration: facilitates direct integration between systems without the necessity for an additional platform, reducing the integration process to the minimum required and avoiding the related investment and running costs.
  • Lower Initial Cost: for organizations with a small number of integrations, P2P can be less expensive initially and can be deployed fairly quickly, avoiding the need to learn a new IPaaS platform's ins and outs.

Point-to-Point integration disadvantages:

  • Error Handling Challenges: requires a more hands-on approach to identify and resolve errors, which may be less efficient and more time-consuming for businesses without a dedicated IT support team.
 

Making the right choice for your business

Choosing between IPaaS and Point-to-Point Integration depends on various factors, including your business size, integration needs, budget, and long-term goals. IPaaS offers a robust, scalable solution ideal for businesses looking to manage multiple integrations with complex data flows, emphasizing error handling and data management. Organizations with more complex, dynamic, or large-scale integration requirements might find an iPaaS solution more efficient and cost-effective in the long run. Conversely, Point-to-Point Integration, with its high customization potential and direct system-to-system connections, suits businesses prioritizing tailored solutions on a smaller scale and having the expertise to manage them in-house or by a reliable and responsive partner. Especially as the number of integrations grows, complexity, maintenance challenges, and scalability issues can arise with P2P integration, hence it may be more suitable for smaller, simpler integration needs in less dynamic environments.  

Conclusion

At Novutech, our deep understanding of both IPaaS and Point-to-Point Integration, bolstered by our extensive experience with platforms like Workato and Celigo, positions us as a leader in crafting integration solutions tailored to our clients' unique business requirements. Whether you're leaning towards the comprehensive capabilities of IPaaS or the customizability of Point-to-Point Integration, we're here to guide you through every step of the decision-making process, ensuring your business not only meets its current needs but is also primed for future growth.
