pleas explain the workflow for WIP and Routings

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The workflow for Work in Progress (WIP) and Routings in NetSuite typically involves the following steps: 1. Setting up the WIP process: This involves setting up the project to the customer and finding a way to track the WIP. This can be done through the WIP bundle in NetSuite, which is typically recommended during the implementation phase. 2. Understanding the use of WIP: WIP is typically used by manufacturing companies to track the cost of unfinished goods. It can also be beneficial for organizations that do a lot of pre-billing/deferred revenue for media purchased, as well as incurred expenses that may not be billed until the project is completed. 3. Setting up manufacturing routing: This involves creating a manufacturing routing record, which requires the selection of a manufacturing cost center and cost template for each routing step. These can be edited in the Operation records of the Work Order. 4. Handling multiple shifts: If an organization has multiple working shifts, it may result in multiple manufacturing work centers in NetSuite. Each work center may have different costs due to indirect and direct labor costs, etc. One workaround for this is to create one routing step per work center in the same routing record. 5. Creating Work Order Issue and Work Order Completion: This allows the organization to select the manufacturing cost template and work center per transaction. However, NetSuite only supports static routings, which means that the work center and cost template cannot be modified for each transaction. 6. Creating multiple WO Completions: It is possible to create multiple WO Completions for the same WO and for the same routing step but with different work centers. However, this is not natively supported by NetSuite and may require workaround solutions. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
