ERP Toolkit Extension
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems like NetSuite can centralize business data, but administrators still need efficient tools for bulk updates, record cleanup and dashboard customization.
Strategic Information Group's ERP Toolkit Extension eliminates these time-draining admin tasks by automating bulk record operations, external ID mapping and NetSuite dashboard customization directly within your NetSuite environment.
Streamline Bulk Record Operations Without CSV Re-Imports
The Mass Update Edit/Save Records feature triggers workflows and NetSuite mass update scripts across selected records without requiring admins to export data, modify spreadsheets and re-import files. Admins select a saved search that defines the affected records and run the mass edit operation. Every record executes its save routine, firing all configured workflows and scripts exactly as if manually opened and saved.
Mass Delete Records
NetSuite bulk delete records functionality handles large-scale data cleanup before system go-live or during periodic maintenance. Administrators execute Map/Reduce scripts that systematically remove test data, obsolete transactions or duplicate records without manual deletion workflows. The script processes deletion queues in batches, maintaining system performance during cleanup operations.
Automate External ID Mapping for Faster CSV Imports
The Set External IDs capability monitors specified record types and automatically populates the external ID field whenever records are created or updated. Admins configure field mapping rules once, for example, mapping account numbers to external IDs, and the extension applies those rules consistently. This automation eliminates manual spreadsheet maintenance and ensures future imports from ERPs, legacy databases or partner systems match records instantly through external ID lookups.
Build Custom Dashboard Portlets From Standard Saved Searches
Strategic's suite of dashboard portlets converts standard saved searches into interactive visualizations without custom development:
SIG Pivot Portlet: Transforms flat search results into pivot table layouts, allowing users to analyze data across multiple dimensions without exporting to Excel. Export functionality preserves pivot formatting in downloaded CSV or Excel files.
SIG List Portlet: Implements true horizontal scrolling with fixed headers, letting users navigate wide result sets while keeping column labels visible. Pre-built searches for invoices due, bills to pay and cash forecast projections deploy immediately.
SIG Calendar Portlet: Displays time-based data on monthly or weekly calendar views, with each calendar entry linking directly to the underlying NetSuite record, enabling drill-down from calendar to transaction details.
Organizations looking to build comprehensive ERP reporting strategies benefit from the ERP Toolkit's portlet functionality.
Enable External Journal Entry Approvals Without Additional Licenses
The External JE Approvals feature extends NetSuite's approval workflows beyond licensed users. Controllers, CFOs or department heads without NetSuite licenses receive approval request emails containing transaction summaries and embedded approve/reject buttons. Approvers review journal entry details in their email client and record decisions without logging into NetSuite. Organizations implement multi-tier approval hierarchies where final approvers review high-value transactions.
Deploy Extensions in One Business Day or Less
Most NetSuite toolkit extension features go live within one business day. Admins follow Strategic's deployment guide to install the bundle, configure extension settings and verify functionality. Standard features require no custom coding, no external integrations and no specialized technical skills beyond typical NetSuite administrator competencies.
