NetSuite supports Assembly Items, which are build-to-stock Inventory Items, typically created using Work Orders.

A Work Order specifies how many of the Assembly Item units should be built (that is, manufactured), and which Component Items will be consumed (that is, used). Component Items are typically Inventory Items but could be Assembly Items if In ERP systems such as NetSuite or Acumatica, work orders for item assembly or product manufacturing can be created, generated, and managed based on demand.

A work order specifies how many assembly items (build-to-stock inventory items) for a product should be manufactured (or “built”), and which component items will be used (or, “consumed”) to manufacture them. Component items are typically inventory items, but could be other assembly items in a multi-level bill of material (BOM). For exampleinstance, suppose a Work Order specifies a work order could specify 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 So, a build transaction (or 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 transaction can also be initiated in NetSuite or in the ShipHawk WMS).creates an assembly item, consuming its component items. Typically, a work order specifies a build, although a build but does not necessarily require work order if the WMS knows the BOM. (Conversely, an unbuild transaction disassembles an assembly item back into its component items.)

Now, the ShipHawk WMS integrated with NetSuite or Acumatica supports managing work orders for building (and unbuilding) assembly items. If the ShipHawk WMS is managing the work orders, then the build (or unbuild) transaction is always done in the ShipHawk WMS (rather than the ERP).

The following describes processing work orders in the ShipHawk WMS:

Processing Work Orders

You can create Work Orders from main menu, from Workflows > Work Order Creation.

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. For the work order, on the Inventory Adjustment/Transfer screen, for Action to be Taken, click Build, and for Reason, select Manufacturing:
