Inventory Toolkit Extension
for NetSuite

Lot-controlled manufacturers often face challenges in maintaining traceability while moving product through production, quality holds and distribution. The Inventory Toolkit Extension automates lot assignment on work order release using FEFO (first expiry, first out) or FIFO (first in, first out) allocation rules that honor your inventory policies.

Duplicate lot detection triggers immediate warnings at receipt, preventing the data integrity issues that create audit exposure. Automated lot expiration moves inventory to quarantine status based on shelf-life parameters you define, ensuring expired materials never reach production lines or ship to customers.

Location-specific inventory status defaults place new receipts into quarantine for inspection before release, ensuring quality-control gates remain enforced throughout your receiving process.

Kit Tracking for Consignment Operations

For operations managing consignment inventory, such as medical device field stock, distributor kits or customer-owned materials, the extension's kit-tracking capabilities provide serialized component visibility through the consignment life cycle. Create kits with full component traceability, transfer to customer locations, track consumption at the serial number level and trigger automated replenishment, all while maintaining lot-level documentation that regulators expect during inspections.

Sales and Supply Chain Compliance Built Into Every Transaction

Regulated manufacturers can't ship to unapproved customers or restricted countries. They can't purchase from uncertified vendors. The Inventory Toolkit Extension enforces these rules at the transaction level: 

• Sales compliance: Validates customer eligibility and shipping country authorization before order processing. 

• Certified vendor enforcement: Blocks purchase orders for supplier-item combinations lacking active certifications, protecting your supply chain quality before materials reach receiving docks. 

These controls don't slow operations — they help prevent the costly errors that create compliance findings, customer complaints and batch disposition issues. Automated enforcement eliminates the manual oversight and documentation burden that typically requires dedicated compliance headcount, reducing operational costs while strengthening quality control.

Strategic configures the NetSuite lot extension to match your specific customer approvals, country restrictions and vendor certification requirements, then deploys the system so enforcement becomes automatic.
