Create a custom field of List Type: Transactions (Sourcing & Filtering: Type Work Order- Marked: Record as Parent). This ensures that when an unbuild record is saved with a selected work order number, it is marked as a parent record. This links the unbuild record to the work order, allowing us to see all related… Continue reading Is it possible to link an assembly unbuild to work order?

NetSuite Work Order Management: Streamlining Manufacturing Processes
Introduction NetSuite Work Order Management is a robust solution designed to enhance control, visibility, and efficiency in manufacturing processes. By seamlessly integrating production workflows with financials, inventory, and order management, it empowers businesses to optimize assembly item production, manage complex bill of materials (BOM), and streamline operations across discrete and batch manufacturing environments. This article… Continue reading NetSuite Work Order Management: Streamlining Manufacturing Processes
WIP and Inventory Costing
Requirement: NetSuite help says that an item with FIFO/LILO costing method is not compatible with manufacturing WIP. Is this just from a costing standpoint? If I take an item master that has a FIFO costing method, this is confirmed because the WIP box at the inventory location section is grayed out. Items masters assigned the… Continue reading WIP and Inventory Costing
Supply Plan Definitions and Launching.
In NetSuite, a Supply Plan Definition record establishes the criteria for supply planning and drives the supply planning process. It’s a record where you can define and save planning criteria like planning horizon, items, locations, and planning rules. This definition is crucial for creating and managing supply plans that balance supply and demand to meet… Continue reading Supply Plan Definitions and Launching.
Manufacturing Execution System
MES modules bridge the gap between planning and production cycles through real-time monitoring and control of manufacturing operations. These systems track production progress, machine use, and worker productivity, and automatically collect and organize data for analysis and refinement. MES’s visibility allows manufacturers to set efficient and realistic production schedules and to respond quickly to unexpected… Continue reading Manufacturing Execution System
Material Requirements Planning (MRP)
Material Requirements Planning (MRP) in NetSuite is a powerful tool designed to streamline manufacturing and inventory management by ensuring that materials and components are available for production and delivery while optimizing inventory levels. It helps businesses plan purchasing and production activities, maintain optimal stock levels, and meet customer demand efficiently. Below is an overview of… Continue reading Material Requirements Planning (MRP)
Engineering Change Order
The Engineering Change Order feature lets you generate engineering change order (ECO) records. These records document changes to your Bills of Materials (BOMs) and authorize the implementation of those changes. Using the ECO record, you can list item and bill of materials to be updated, and specify reasons for the change. Through the SuiteApprovals workflow,… Continue reading Engineering Change Order
Creating an Outsourced Manufacturing Item
Outsourced manufacturing items are goods and services we sell that are produced in collaboration with an outsourcing vendor. To support this process in NetSuite, we must define a charge item for use in purchasing transactions. Step 1: Create the Outsourcing Charge Item Navigate to Lists > Accounting > Items > New. On the New Item… Continue reading Creating an Outsourced Manufacturing Item
Manufacturing Charge Item
With Manufacturing Routing and Work Center, when a specific routing operation is recorded, you can use items to define charges for the activity. For example, you can define the hourly cost of activities being performed, and the expense account the charges are logged against. To do so, you must set up the item record to… Continue reading Manufacturing Charge Item
Phantom Assemblies
A phantom assembly is typically a non-stocked assembly that groups the components needed to produce a subassembly. For example, compare a phantom assembly to folders on a computer. The folder represents the phantom and the individual files are the components. They are called phantoms because they are not counted as inventory items, but are created… Continue reading Phantom Assemblies
