Locations and Subsidiaries Setup in...

SuiteCommerce InStore (SCIS) is a web-based point-of-sale application that allows businesses to operate efficiently on touch tablets. Because it is built on the same platform as the Commerce web store applications, it offers a responsive web layout, creating an intuitive user interface with seamless functionality.

Importance of Locations and Subsidiaries

Location and subsidiary records are crucial when setting up SCIS. For instance, SCIS enables employees to access the application based on the location assigned to their record. In scenarios where OneWorld is deployed, specifying the subsidiary on employee and item records becomes necessary to ensure accurate data segmentation and reporting.

For more information, refer to the section on Subsidiaries and Locations for SCIS.

Standard and Custom Records in SCIS

SCIS stores data using various NetSuite records that can either be standard or custom. Standard records typically consist of items, customers, and employees. Upon installation of the SCIS SuiteApp, certain custom fields may be added to standard NetSuite records. Understanding the structure of these records is essential for effective data management.

Employee Role Configuration

When creating employee records, consider the roles that each employee will have within the organization. For example, if an employee is expected to process item returns, they will need more than just basic transaction permissions. Refer to the section on SCIS Roles and Permissions for detailed guidelines.

Custom Fields and Records

While many custom fields and records are optional for configuration, they can significantly enhance operational efficiency. A complete list of associated custom fields can be found in SCIS Custom Fields, Lists, Records, and Searches.

Sales Transactions and Management

Once a transaction is processed through SCIS, an administrator can modify or review it directly in NetSuite. Sales associates utilize SCIS to check customer profiles, review transaction histories, and manage returns and exchanges effectively.
