Manufacturing Mobile Overview
The NetSuite Manufacturing Mobile SuiteApp enables production operators with little ERP knowledge to use mobile scanners to report manufacturing shop floor data. This mobile solution improves performance, scalability, customization support, and streamlines production activities.
You do not need to buy an Advanced Manufacturing license or a WMS license to get access to the scanner solution. Anyone who purchases the NetSuite Manufacturing feature automatically receives Manufacturing Mobile. An assembly and work order license is sufficient to set up the Manufacturing Mobile and SCM Mobile bundles.
You can perform both manufacturing and WMS activities on the same scanner.
