components on work order are committed but when i click on build assembly the assigned lot numbered disapper

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it seems like the issue of the assigned lot number disappearing when clicking on 'Build Assembly' could be due to a few reasons: 1. The assembly is marked as a special order: 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. Even if you do a standalone Work Order for a large quantity of that item, it will not commit until the linked Work Order is built. 2. The location of the Work Orders/Assemblies and Sales Order is not the same: Ensure that the Work Orders/Assemblies are using the same location as the Sales Order. If they are not, this could be causing the issue. 3. The Sales Order is not approved: If you use Sales Order approvals, ensure that the Sales Order is approved. If it is not, this could be causing the issue. 4. The location is missing from the line on the Work Order: Ensure that the location is included in the line on the Work Order. If it is not, this could be causing the issue. 5. The picking preferences are not set correctly: If you set your picking preferences to FIFO, FEFO, or receipt date the system will choose the lot by the received date in the order designated. If the picking preferences are not set correctly, this could be causing the issue. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
