Long thread. We have had an issue since we started with Netsuite. We want to ship it out before we create the assemblies in NetSuite. I wrote 2 scripts to do this. First script creates an adjustment to bin a, a bin transfer to bin b and deleted the adjustment. This makes a negative in bin a and a positive in bin b. We produce the assemblies to bin a, thereby clearing up the negative. As of last week the drop down on item fullfilments gave me an option to select the lots that had a positive and negative. It would give me an error when trying to transfer "Bin not Available" but I solved that with a temporary adjustment in a user event script. Now it won't let me select the lots. I don't know what I could've changed. Bottom line. How can I ship items that have yet to be produced in netsuite? It is holding up the whole process.

isn't this just the advanced shipping feature?

I have had it turned on. I don't see how that helps me.

Do you have to use lot numbers functionality? Can you use a custom record or a custom field for tracking what lots got shipped to what customers?

Lot numbers are too ingrained in to our process. I aware that I am "ass backwords". But its a very simple problem. I can't believe there isn't a straightforward solution.

Well, I'd be tempted to remove the delete steps out of it - and just let the extra records you generate hang out since they all wash anyways.
