NetSuite Blog - Apr 22, 2025 - Don't Miss Supply Allocation Alerts in NetSuite Item 360: Check This Permission

If you're implementing NetSuite's Item 360 you'll likely consult the guide on Creating or Customizing Roles and Permissions to Use Item 360 Dashboard. However, this document currently omits a crucial permission required for displaying supply allocation alerts. These alerts are vital for proactive inventory management, allowing you to address potential shortages before they impact operations. 

Recently, a user reported not seeing supply allocation alerts. Through investigation, I discovered that the Required Features and Permissions for Portlets documentation held the key. The necessary permission? The role must have Allocate Orders enabled.

Hopefully, highlighting the necessity of the 'Allocate Orders' permission will save you valuable time and ensure your users don't miss these critical supply allocation insights within Item 360.
