(Custom Inventory GL)
Is your KPI dashboard not populating sales and inventory metrics? It could be because you are using a custom inventory GL account in your chart of accounts, and it has not been configured to feed to KPI metrics. If this is the case, there is a simple solution to populate your KPI metrics. The standard Inventory KPI below drastically understates figures, hinting that an inventory account is not being tracked.
How to Resolve the Custom GL NetSuite KPI Error
Step 1: Navigate to the custom inventory GL account to be used. Any custom Inventory GL account would be found in the Chart of Accounts located at Setup > Accounting > Chart of Accounts.
Step 2: Once the inventory GL account is located, press the edit button and select the “Inventory” checkbox. This indicates that the inventory GL account should be counted towards inventory metrics in reporting and KPI metric tracking.
Step 3: Save and navigate to your KPI to ensure the inventory metrics are being populated. Comparing the KPI below to the first example, now that the “Inventory” checkbox on the inventory asset GL has been activated, all inventory items are tracked with the KPI.
