Your NetSuite Home Screen
Think of the dashboard as your starting place. It shows you the stuff you need to see first.
What You See Right Away
When you log in, you’ll see different boxes.

Put the important stuff right where you can see it!

It’s like a magic finder for all your business management stuff.
This helps automate finding things instead of clicking through lots of pages.

Seeing Updates as They Happen
Some things in Oracle NetSuite show you information in real-time.
That means you see updates right away, like when a sale happens.
This helps you keep track of everything without having to wait.
How Everything Works Together
Enterprise resource planning means that all the different parts of the business talk to each other.
So, when you make a sale, it updates things like the number of items you have left in your supply chain.
Keeping Customers Happy
Customer relationship management is all about keeping track of your customer relationships.
NetSuite helps you see all your talks with a customer in one place.
This enables you to make better forecasts about what they might need next.
Working with Records
Think of “records” in NetSuite like files in a filing cabinet.
Each record holds all the information about one thing, like a customer, a product you sell, or an order someone placed.
Let’s see how to work with these files.
Making New Records
Sometimes you need to add new information.
Maybe you have a new customer or you’re selling something new.
Creating a new record is like making a new file in your cabinet.
You click “New” and fill in the blanks with the right info.
Looking at Records
When you want to see the details about something, you open its record.
It’s like opening that file in the cabinet.
You’ll see all the important information, such as the customer’s name, what they ordered, or how many of an item you have.
Changing Records
Need to update some information?
Maybe a customer changed their address, or the price of something went up.
You can edit a record to make those changes.
Just find the field you need to change, type in the new info, and save it.
Understanding the Boxes
When you’re looking at a record, you’ll see lots of boxes with words in them.
These are called “fields.
Each field holds a specific piece of information.
It’s like the different sections in your file.
Saving Your Work
When you create a new record or make changes, you need to save it.
Think of it like putting the file back in the cabinet.
If you don’t save your changes won’t be kept!
Working with Transactions
Transactions are like the actions you take in your business.
Think of them as doing things like making a sale, buying stuff for your business, or sending out a bill.
NetSuite helps you keep track of all these actions.
Making a Sale
When a customer makes a purchase, you create a “sales order” transaction.
It’s like writing down what they want to buy.
You put in their name, what they’re buying, and the cost.
Buying Things for Your Business
When you need to buy things for your business, such as new supplies, you create a purchase order transaction.
This tells your suppliers what you want to buy from them.
Sending Bills
When you need to ask customers to pay you, you create an “invoice” transaction.
This is like sending them a bill that shows how much they owe you.
Filling Out the Forms
When you create a transaction, you’ll see a form with different boxes to fill in.
These boxes ask for all the important details about that action, like who you’re selling to or what you’re buying.
Connecting the Dots
Sometimes, different transactions are connected.
For example, a sales order might turn into an invoice.
NetSuite helps link these together so you can see the whole story.
Getting Approval
In some businesses, before a transaction is final, someone needs to say “yes.
This is called approval.
NetSuite can have rules for who needs to approve different kinds of transactions.
Working with transactions is how you actually do business in NetSuite.
By learning how to create these records and understand how they work, you’ll be able to manage your sales, purchases, and money easily!
