WORK ORDER
Work order transactions track the production of assembly items needed for stock or to fill orders. Work orders track the quantities of assemblies that need to be built and the quantities of components, or member items, needed to do so. This type of transaction is available when the Assembly Items and Work Orders features are enabled and are used when the Allow Purchase of Assembly Items accounting preference is not enabled.
Special order work orders track assemblies for a particular sale, and Production work orders track assemblies to increase stock. Both use the same work order form, but Production work orders do not link to a sales transaction. Production work orders are generated when the back-ordered quantity of an assembly reaches its assigned build point. After the build point is reached, a work order is added to the Mass Create Work Orders queue.
