what are the steps to issuing a work order

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, here are the steps to issuing a Work Order (WO) in NetSuite: 1. Create a Work Order for a finished good item. This can be done manually or automatically depending on your NetSuite settings. 2. If your finished good item has a Bill of Materials (BOM), ensure that all components are available in the required quantities. If any component is backordered, this could prevent the Work Order from being issued. 3. If you're using lot numbered items, ensure that you have an assembly build for the Work Order. 4. If you're using inventory management on your sales orders, you may need to select which lot number you want to use on the Sales Order. 5. Ensure that your Work Orders/Assemblies are using the same location as the Sales Order. If you're using multiple locations, ensure that the inventory is available at the correct location. 6. If the assembly is marked as a special order, NetSuite will create a new Work Order for that line on the Sales Order and that exact Work Order needs to be built in order for that line to be committed. 7. Check the assembly record to see what your On Hand, Available, Committed and On Order quantities are. If there are discrepancies, this could prevent the Work Order from being issued. 8. If you use Sales Order approvals, ensure that the Sales Order is approved. 9. If you're still having issues, you may need to delve into the details of your inventory management and Work Order settings. For example, you may need to learn how to work with subrecords and set the inventory detail. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
