What are Requisitions?




Simpler version of a Purchase Request
Don’t need to assign a Vendor
Don’t need to deal with prices
Can make on behalf of others
• Ex: An Admin can make a Requisition on
behalf of several buyers
 Allows optimization of resulting Purchase
Orders
Value Maximizer Webinar 2014.1
47
Purchase Requisitions workflow
 Provides a tool to consolidate and aggregate
purchase requests and results in Purchase Orders
Value Maximizer Webinar 2014.1
48
Requisitions Administration
 Similar to current Purchase Requests
• Requisitions that are approved result in a Purchase
Order
• Access through Employee Center is recommended
 Can be associated to an internal Role, but there are
implications to the Approval path
• Approval Routing tools are the same as other records
• Can add Expenses or Items
 Can use both Requisitions and Purchase
Requests concurrently if desired
Value Maximizer Webinar 2014.1
49
Requisitions Highlights
 Items must already exist in the system
• Expect to be allowed to create Items in the future
• Preferred Vendor and/or Purchase Price from Item record will flow to
Requisition, regardless of user entry
 Requisitions are available to be consolidated onto Purchase
Orders per vendor, with reference to Requisition record
• No automated line-level consolidation
• 10 lines requested = 10 lines on the PO
 Requisitions are single-subsidiary only
• Users whose Roles access multiple Subsidiaries will need to choose one
on the Requisition

Report Size and Sign Change for
Expense Account Saved Search
NetSuite Release 2014.1
February 26, 2014
Maximum Supported Report Size
 Before this release, the maximum number of
rows that could be retrieved for a report was
either 25,000 or 75,000 rows, but it depended
on the kind of report
 As of this release, the limits for retrieved rows
per report are:
• 100,000 rows — for a report executed on demand
• 500,000 rows — for a report executed in the
background (scheduled, emailed or exported reports)
Value Maximizer Webinar 2014.1
72
Change of Sign for Expense Account
Amounts in Saved Searches
 Until now, Transaction saved searches displayed positive
amounts for credit posting transactions and negative
amounts for debit posting transactions
• Note that this behavior impacted only saved searches; it did not
impact reports or accounting processes
 As of Version 2014 Release 1, Transaction saved searches
“correctly” handle expense accounts as debit accounts.
• positive amounts for debit posting transactions and
• negative amounts for credit posting transactions
 This change ensures that expense accounts are consistently
displayed throughout NetSuite.
Value Maximizer Webinar 2014.1
73
Change of Sign for Expense Account
Amounts in Saved Searches
 Best practice is to review your Saved
Searches in your Preview account before the
upgrade happens
 There are ways to retain the ‘old’ format if it
is mission critical for your business.
 If you see behavior you don’t understand,
contact us and we can help
