Order Management
NetSuite 2025.1 includes the following enhancements to order management features:
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) Analytics and Dashboard
SuiteBilling is adding annual recurring revenue (ARR) to our monthly recurring revenue (MRR) functionality in SuiteAnalytics and reporting. Subscription businesses have a unique set of metrics called SaaS (software as a service) metrics. Recurring revenue, either MRR or ARR, is the basis many of these metrics. SaaS metrics are used to determine the health of their business and to help inform if changes are needed. Depending on the nature of the business, MRR or ARR may be more important. There is also a new ARR workbook with standard reports and enhanced dashboard portlets for MRR and ARR metrics.
Invoice and Allocate Before Activation
Subscription businesses sell projects, hardware, and subscriptions all together. It is very common for hardware items and projects to be delivered and invoiced before subscriptions are activated or the service starts. You can create invoices and bill before activating the subscription. You also can create forecast revenue for allocation against inventory and project revenue. You can create charges and revenue before knowing when software or services will be provisioned or billed. Charges are generated and revenue elements are created in pending activation status instead of at activation.
Pooled Usage
You can now price services annually but charge customers monthly. For usage and overage services, you can price in one frequency and charge in another frequency.
Uplift Has Higher Decimal Precision
The uplift feature has expanded decimal precision to eight places after the decimal for a more precise uplift value and accurate price.
