About NetSuite Container Tracking
NetSuite container tracking, enabled by Inbound Shipment Management, lets companies define and track containers of goods as they make their way from supplier to destination. Inbound shipment records track critical information, such as expected delivery dates, items in the shipment, quantity to be received, and links to documentation and transactions. Assign items from multiple purchase orders to the shipment and then receive a bill, and transfer them from the newly created record. Landed costs can be applied to any inbound shipment. Spread these costs across the entire shipment, as in the case of brokerage fees, or apply them to specific line items, as with customs duties. Organizing shipment information into a single record centralizes data, making it more accessible, while streamlining bulk transaction processes helps cut administration time. Grouping items into the container in which they’re packed enables consolidated tracking of incoming shipments.
