A short walkthrough showing how customer-owned, spare, and ghost inventory flow through NetSuite — from receipt to billing, with clear visuals.
Quick Recap: What We Covered at the Event?
What is Customer-Owned Inventory (COI)?
Inventory physically with you, but owned by your customer, common in MRO, manufacturing, and repair industries.
What are Spare Parts?
Replacements or ready-to-use components reserved for maintenance, overhaul, or emergency use, often customer-specific.
What is Ghost Inventory?
Stock that exists in operations but isn’t fully visible in the system, leading to inaccurate reporting, billing, or traceability.
How Epiphany Handles It?
We’ve designed a proven customization layer that extends NetSuite’s standard modules:
Virtual place for non-owned stock segregation
Ownership tagging and traceability logs
Deferred billing logic for customer-owned repairs
Work order integration for real-time visibility
Audit and compliance framework for reporting
Our approach delivers clarity across every stakeholder, from finance to operations, while keeping data clean and auditable.
Why It Matters
Gain visibility and traceability
Eliminate “ghost” and misclassified inventory
Align financials with ownership reality
Improve billing accuracy and customer trust
What are the “Gotchas” in NetSuite?
OOTB (Out-of-the-box) NetSuite treats all inventory as owned inventory.
Customer-owned stock gets mixed with your balance sheet assets.
Billing and usage tracking need custom handling.
