what can cause a work order quantity to change without my interference

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, there are several scenarios that can cause a work order quantity to change without your interference: 1. Advanced Manufacturing/Mobile Manufacturing Bug: There is a known defect in NetSuite's Advanced Manufacturing/Mobile Manufacturing module. If you set a Work Center on the Work Order, NetSuite changes the BOM Quantity and Quantity on the line level, which it shouldn't be doing. This is logged as Defect 631687 in NetSuite's system. 2. Scripting Issue: If you are creating work orders via script, the component line quantities might show up as the original component quantities. This could be due to the order in which you are setting header level fields. For example, changing something at the header level might be resetting those quantities erroneously. 3. Order of Setting Fields: The order in which you set fields can affect the quantities. For instance, swapping item/location could potentially solve the issue if you are using Advanced Manufacturing. 4. Overage on Work Order Transactions: If you have the 'Allow Overage on Work Order Transactions' setting enabled, it allows you to receive overage. However, NetSuite processes it as showing the same amount of raw materials consumed for the overage units as it does if you had just received the original quantity. Remember to always double-check your settings and scripts to ensure they are not inadvertently causing these changes. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
