The Catch Weight solution in NetSuite is a powerful inventory management system designed to handle products with variable weights and quantities. This solution is essential for businesses dealing with items like fresh seafood, meat, poultry, and other products where each piece has a different weight.
Catch weight management solves a common business challenge: selling products by the piece while pricing them by weight. When you place an order for catch weight items, the system initially uses an average or estimated weight to calculate pricing. However, when the order is actually fulfilled, each item is weighed individually to capture its exact “catch weight.” The final billing is then automatically adjusted based on these actual weights, ensuring customers pay precisely for what they receive.
The solution converts between physical units (pieces, cases) and weight-based measurements (pounds, kilograms) during every transaction. This automation eliminates manual calculations and significantly reduces pricing errors.
Inventory levels update instantly as catch weight adjustments are made, ensuring your entire system reflects accurate stock quantities across all locations and departments.
Every catch weight item can be tracked by batch or lot number, providing complete traceability from source to sale. This feature is crucial for food safety compliance and quality control requirements.
The solution supports sophisticated pricing models that automatically adjust based on actual weights. You can set customer-specific rates, volume discounts, and promotional pricing that all work seamlessly with variable weight calculations.
Whether you operate from one location or multiple warehouses, the system provides centralized visibility and control over all catch weight inventory, making it easier to manage stock levels and transfers.
