NetSuite supports defining an Assembly Item, which is a build-to-stock Inventory Item, typically created using Work Orders. A Work Order specifies how many of the assembly item units should be built (manufactured), and which component items will be consumed (used). Note that component items are typically inventory items but could be assembly items if in a multi-level bill of material (BOM).

For example, suppose a Work Order specifies building 100 units of assembly item A Each assembly item A is built using two units of inventory item B and two units of inventory item C. When 100 assemblies of A are built, 200 units of B, and 200 units of C, will be consumed.

You can do build transactions directly in NetSuite, or in the ShipHawk WMS: a Build is a single transaction that both creates the Assembly Item and consumes the Component Items. A Build does not need to specify a Work Order, but typically does. (Note: an Un-Build or Disassembly can be initiated in NetSuite or in the ShipHawk WMS).

Processing Work Orders

To process work orders, from the main menu, first choose Adjust/Transfer/Build. Next, picking a work order is the same as picking other orders.
