Sales Order Software Lines

Sales Order software lines will not only denote item/customer pricing but will also identify the appropriate billing schedule (orange) and appropriate revenue recognition start and end dates (blue). If a user needs to locate sales transaction detail, they will only need to view a single record.

Income Statement

It is common to report against different product lines or software types — to do so, we leverage the “Class” segment in NetSuite. Below is an example of an income statement, where “Class” (or software type) can be reported against in a columnized format. The use of columns will be applied to all financial report types, where relevant.

“In the past, we counted on the finance team to share quarterly reports, but now we’ve got daily, accurate information whenever and how we need it. We’re much better organized internally and more efficient—something a growing tech company should be.”
