Looking to optimize your supply chain management with cutting-edge mobile technology? NetSuite’s latest 2024.2 release introduces exciting enhancements to the SCM Mobile app. These updates are designed to improve data visualization, streamline workflows, and provide greater flexibility in managing supply chain operations on the go. Let’s take a closer look:  

What is SCM Mobile?  

NetSuite SCM Mobile is an extension of NetSuite Supply Chain Management (SCM), tailored for mobile devices. It aims to empower businesses to control their entire supply chain, from procurement to fulfillment.  

SCM Mobile allows users to manage key aspects of the supply chain, such as inventory management, order processing, and logistics, right from their smartphones or tablets. With real-time access to SCM data, users can make informed decisions and respond to issues from anywhere.  

SCM Mobile offers a variety of capabilities including: 

• NetSuite WMS: Facilitates inbound, inventory, and outbound processing for streamlined warehouse management.  

• Manufacturing Mobile: Supports data gathering for work order assignments and real-time reporting of consumption and production data.   

• NetSuite Ship Central: Designed for kiosk and tablet use, it enables efficient carton and pallet packing, along with order shipping.  

• NetSuite Smart Count: Allows for directed or spot inventory counting, even during ongoing transactions that may affect inventory levels.  

Key Enhancements in NetSuite 2024.2 Release 

NetSuite SCM Mobile 2024.2 updates bring about several enhancements. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of NetSuite SCM Mobile updates in the 2024.2 release. 

1. Highlighting Table Rows with Colors  

SCM Mobile provides you with the ability to highlight rows of data tables with colors. This improves data visualization, making it easier for you to quickly identify and prioritize vital information from others.  

Six standard colors are available for you to use. You can apply up to three colors to a single data table and can specify the column data to which it is to be applied. This feature enhances the clarity and usability of data tables in the SCM Mobile App. 

2. Assigning Printer Groups to Printers 

Managing printing tasks in a busy warehouse or production environment becomes more efficient with the new printer group assignment feature. With the NetSuite SCM enhancements, you can create printer groups for specific areas, zones, and teams in a location.  

You can also assign a specific group to one or more printers available, which helps to ensure that documents are routed to the correct printer with ease. During printing, you can specify a different group and choose a printer that belongs to it. This functionality reduces the time spent on managing printing.  

3. Attaching Images and Files to Custom Records 

The extension of image and file attachment capabilities to custom records apart from the standard records provides greater flexibility in documentation. When setting up image capture or uploading files on a mobile process, you can choose from the supported custom records. This enhancement in the new release allows you to keep comprehensive records that align with your specific needs.  

4. Exporting and Importing Standard Mobile Processes 

Consistency is crucial for maintaining standardized operations. The new export and import feature for standard mobile processes allows you to replicate those processes to other accounts that use the same mobile app. This ensures uniformity and efficiency throughout the organization.  

How Can Your Business Benefit from SCM Mobile? 

SCM Mobile benefits firms by providing flexibility, convenience, and speed in their supply chain operations. Here’s how.
