Manufacturing Preferences Overview

Important:

NetSuite 2020.2 relocated and copied some of the manufacturing preferences from their original location. Some of the preferences were originally on the Accounting Preferences > Items/Transactions subtab, and others were on the Order Management subtab.

All of the manufacturing preferences are located at Setup > Manufacturing > Manufacturing Preferences.

Those that remain in their original location can be found at Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences, on the above-noted subtabs.

The following table lists all of the manufacturing preferences and whether the preference was relocated or copied.
