What are the differences between WIP & Routings and Advanced Manufacturing?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

WIP & Routings and Advanced Manufacturing are two different aspects of manufacturing in NetSuite. WIP (Work in Progress) & Routings is a feature that allows you to define the manufacturing process for an assembly item. It includes the steps (operations) that need to be performed, the sequence of these steps, the work centers where these steps are performed, and the time required for each step. However, it has limitations. For example, it only supports static routings, meaning you cannot change the work center or cost template per transaction. If a work order is started and continued by different shifts, you cannot modify the work center and cost template for each shift. You can only create one routing step per work center in the same routing record. On the other hand, Advanced Manufacturing is a more comprehensive module that provides additional features for managing your manufacturing process. It includes all the features of WIP & Routings, but also provides additional capabilities such as capacity planning, detailed scheduling, and real-time shop floor reporting. The screenshot you mentioned is likely from this module. In terms of support for WMS (Warehouse Management System), it appears that WMS supports Assembly Work Order but it's not clear if it supports WIP. It's recommended to check the specific documentation or consult with a NetSuite professional for more detailed information. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
