Background - The Client Challenge

A wholesale distribution client wanted a one-click way to generate three different PDF reports for each customer, directly from the customer record in NetSuite:

  • Client Copy - for the customer's own reference.
  • Price List - showing applicable pricing.
  • Stock Insight - current inventory status.

The reports needed to:

  • Include items previously purchased by the customer and additional items from the Item Pricing tab.
  • Display real-time stock levels at the time of generation.
  • Exclude specific items based on rules defined at the item record level, either for all customers or specific ones.
  • Be automatically stored in the File Cabinet and linked to the customer record.

Our Solution

We designed a SuiteScript-driven automation for seamless PDF generation and storage.

1. User Event (UE) Script - Button Creation

1. User Event (UE) Script - Button Creation

  • Added a custom button on the customer record.
  • Clicking the button triggers a redirect to a SuiteLet script that handles report generation.
2. SuiteLet Script - Data Collection and PDF Creation

2. SuiteLet Script - Data Collection and PDF Creation

  • Runs multiple Saved Searches to gather excluded items, additional items from the Item Pricing tab, all items purchased by the customer, and current stock levels.
  • Generates three separate PDFs with conditional column visibility based on the report type.
  • Saves all generated PDFs to the File Cabinet.
3. File Access and Customer Record Integration

3. File Access and Customer Record Integration

  • After PDF creation, the user is redirected back to the customer record.
  • A banner notification with clickable links to the new files appears on the screen.
  • Another UE script lists all generated files in a dedicated tab on the customer record for easy access.

We hired Versich to rebuild our analytics stack after an internal project stalled. They came in, assessed the situation quickly, and delivered production-ready Power BI dashboards within weeks. Their DAX knowledge and data modelling skills are exceptional.

Versich understood our finance workflows from day one. They built dashboards that connected directly to our ERP and gave our leadership team real-time visibility into cash flow, margins, and budget vs actuals. The quality of the work and the speed of delivery were both outstanding

Before Versich, our reporting was scattered across spreadsheets with no single source of truth. They built us a Power BI environment that connects our warehouse, finance, and sales data in one place. Our operations team now makes decisions in hours instead of days
