NetSuite 2019 Release 2 Brings Business Impact in a Big Way

By Peter Fung, Senior Director Product Management ERP, Oracle NetSuite
, Kendall Fisher, Executive Producer and Host of The NetSuite Podcast
Monday, August 19, 2019

This summer brought more than just picnics in the park, big action movies and family vacations. It also brought the hotly-awaited NetSuite 2019 Release 2—a release with 265 new features, 79 of which were requests made directly by NetSuite customers. Now that’s what we call a barbecue, blockbuster and trip to Disneyland all rolled into one.

NetSuite customers receive two major upgrades per year, each bringing new features and functionality that are completed within an hour on average at no extra cost. NetSuite 2019 Release 2 delivers significant business impact, with everything from powerful new financial capabilities and refined human capital management processes to beefed-up analytics and an expanded box of developer tools, as well as a wide array of industry-specific features.

Oracle NetSuite’s Senior Director of Product Marketing, Lisa Schwarz, provides an overview of what to expect from the release on “The NetSuite Podcast.” You can listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud or YouTube. And for a deeper dive, read below. 

More HCM Power

For starters, new human capital management capabilities in NetSuite 2019 Release 2 will enable HR decision-makers to:

  • Better understand employee tenure and employment history by quickly viewing key milestones and timelines.
  • Gain more flexibility in managing hourly time-off accruals, including audit trails for how accruals are earned.
  • Get an accurate view of their HR landscapes with improved dashboard components.

Mobile Enhancements

NetSuite mobile enables users to stay connected, even on the go. iPhone users of NetSuite can now capture time and expense offline, when they are not connected. Once connected, the app will sync all the information captured. Simplified navigation will help users easily maneuver through app. A dashboard call log enables easy tracking of incoming and outgoing business calls. Reset password has also been added for forgotten passwords.

SuiteAnalytics

SuiteAnalytics meets customers' growing thirst for actionable data, and an intuitive new user interface brings those insights to the entire NetSuite environment faster than ever. Pre-built SuiteAnalytics workbooks for Commerce, Sales and Procurement improve execution by highlighting opportunities and revealing potential issues. What's more, SuiteAnalytics can be used to leverage analytics anywhere within the SuiteCloud platform.

Global Financials

Meanwhile, on the financial front, NetSuite 2019 Release 2 will provide the increasingly diversified and global population of NetSuite customers with:

  • Improved multi-subsidiary management and accounting.
  • New advanced data import features that streamline bank reconciliation.
  • More flexible and granular revenue recognition capabilities.
  • Improved support for your operations around the world with general ledger impact printing for China and additional depreciation methods for Japan.

 Industry-Specific Enhancements

NetSuite 2019 Release 2 addresses a wide array of problems for businesses across industries.

For wholesale distributors and manufacturers, this release includes:

  • A new warehouse management solution that increases productivity with a flexible wave release process, paperless picking and an intuitive mobile interface.
  • Supply allocation that improves customer service levels by optimizing usage of current and future inventory assets for customer orders.
  • The Supply Chain Control Tower, which provides unparalleled visibility and enables manufacturers and wholesale distributors to avoid problems in their supply chains. The enhancement gives users a single view of the state of their supply chains and delivers predicted risks and recommended actions to avoid disruptions.

Platform Improvements

As with every NetSuite release, there are also goodies for developers. SuiteCloud Platform enhancements in NetSuite 2019 Release 2 include support for industry standards such as REST services for integration and OpenID Connect for federated authentication, enabling developers to further customize and extend NetSuite.

In general, NetSuite 2019 Release 2 pushes the developer and administrator experience forward, making it easier to localize NetSuite applications, harden security and harness the power of SuiteScript and NetSuite's software development framework.
