Order Management SuiteApps
Following are the 2025.1 order management enhancements to SuiteApps:
Ship Central Enhancements
Use of Ship Central requires that you install two SuiteApps in the following order: (1) SCM Mobile and (2) NetSuite Ship Central.
In NetSuite 2025.1, Ship Central provides the following packing enhancements:
Pack Carton Reuse
If you activate the Use Cartons from Shipped Fulfillments rule, you can reuse pack cartons previously associated with fulfillments that have been shipped. On the app, you can enter, scan, or select from the list of available cartons through the Reuse Cartons option. You can specify a different size and weight for a reused carton.
Pack All Option for Cartons
The new Enable Multi-Select toggle displays a box beside each row for selection on the left or right side of the transfer table. Along with the Pack All and Unpack All buttons, you can select and transfer between the two sides to process cartons. For more information, see Ship Central Packing.
Weighing Scale Support and Tare Weight for Pallets
If you set up Weighing Scale Support, you can capture the total weight of a pallet that contains your packed cartons. You can also provide the tare weight.
For requirements and setup procedures, see Mobile Printing and Weighing Scale Setup.
Printing Multiple Packing Labels and Documents
On the app, you can access Print Packing Labels & Docs from the Options menu. You can print multiple packing labels, lists, and related documents at the same time for cartons that you have packed.
Ship Central provides the following enhancements for domestic shipping, international shipping, or both:
New Settings for Carriers
For your carriers, you can now configure the following capabilities:
-
Carrier Accounts per Location – When you create shipping items using the new PackShip -Shipping Advanced Plugin, you can assign a location to a carrier account that you integrate and sync through ShipEngine. If you have multiple accounts for a single carrier, you cannot assign all of them to the same location. You can use shipping methods, shop for rates, and get best rates available through a carrier account mapped to a location.
-
Default Package Code per Carrier – On the standard Ship Central Preference record, you can assign a default package code for each carrier. On the app, you can use the default one or change it for a specific shipment.
-
Shipment References per Carrier – For carriers that support additional shipment references, you can specify the references for each carrier. You can specify up to three references, depending on the carrier.
Shipping and Label Printing Directly on Item Fulfillments
If you have a Ship Central shipping item for FedEx, UPS, or USPS enabled with Shipping Label Integration, you can set the Shipping Mode preference to pack and ship directly on item fulfillments. You can select either the Integrated Shipping Only mode to apply to all orders or Integrated Shipping per Order mode to apply to orders of your choice. When you select the shipping item on the order, you can also generate and print labels directly on the item fulfillment. You cannot pack and ship the order through the Ship Central app.
CSV Import of Other Billing Accounts
You can use the Other Billing Account custom record to import billing account details of third parties or recipients. On your CSV files, you can include the Ship Central Preferences record to which you want to associate a billing account. For more information about other billing accounts, see Third-party or Recipient Billing Setup.
CSV Import of Shipping Items
For the carriers that you use within Ship Central, you can import shipping items to create or update them in bulk.
Applying Discount, Markup, and Flat Rates
When you ship orders on the app, you can apply a discount, markup, or flat rate that you set up for a shipping item on a preference record. You can apply either a discount or markup to a calculated shipping cost. Flat rates replace the shipping cost altogether.
Shop for Rates on the Order Transaction
If you use a shipping item for Ship Central on a sales or transfer order, the Shop for Rates option now appears on its Shipping subtab. Instead of calculating the rate, you can view and select from a list of available rates from your carriers. For more information, see Rerating Orders.
Changing the Ship From Address on the App
By default, the app uses the address on your Location record as the Ship From address. You can change it to another location address that you set up on the Packship – Location Address record. On this record, you can add multiple addresses for your location. You can also use the return address as your Ship From address for each shipment or order. This address change does not replace the one on the associated order. For more information, see Shipping Packed Orders.
Domestic Shipping to Military PO Boxes and US Territories
Using USPS domestic shipping services, you can now ship orders to US territories instead of using international shipping options available from other carriers. Using eligible shipping services from any of your carriers, you can ship to the following military PO boxes: APO, FPO, and DPO. On the app, you can choose the Add customs details option to enter the details required to generate shipping labels and documents. For more information, see Ship Central Shipping.
Estimated Tariff for International Shipments
On a Ship Central Preferences record, if you set the Enable International Shipping box, you can also set the Calculate International Shipping Tax box. When checked, you can view the estimated tariff amount based on the shipping destination.
Adding Description of Goods to International Shipments
On the app, you can now specify the description of goods for international shipments. You can choose one of the following fields from which you want to obtain the description: Display Name/Code, Sales Description, or International Description of Goods.
Shipping with ParcelGuard Insurance
If you activate the Add shipping insurance rule, you can now choose ParcelGuard insurance on the app. This option is available within your NetSuite ShipEngine account for your connected carriers.
Paid Address Validation
Before you ship orders through the NetSuite UI or the app, you can now use the paid address validation service available for your NetSuite ShipEngine account. When you add a location address, you can validate your Ship From address. When you create an order, you can validate the Ship To address of the shipment. For more information, see Shipping Address Validation.
New Shipping Label Size
When you ship orders on the app, you can print labels in letter size (8.5 ×11 inches) and in PDF or PNG format.
