Can a sales order consume quantity on an item demand plan?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the provided Slack threads, it appears that the question 'Can a sales order consume quantity on an item demand plan?' was not directly addressed. However, from the discussions, it can be inferred that the NetSuite system does not directly allow a sales order to consume quantity on an item demand plan. In the first thread, the discussion revolves around the challenge of ordering in multiples and aggregating purchase orders over a period of days. The users suggest customizing the purchase order side or scripting on the purchase order to handle this scenario. In the second thread, the users discuss the flexibility of NetSuite in handling different quantities in purchase orders, item receipts, and invoices. They suggest that it is possible to under-receive and bill when necessary, and to over-receive by enabling the account preference 'Allow Overage on Item Receipts'. In the third thread, the users discuss the lack of a feature in NetSuite to define a minimum order quantity in the demand planning/MRP. They suggest workarounds such as creating a Minimum Order Quantity field on the Inventory Item form and sourcing that to the Purchase Order Line, or adding a field to the item master and creating a saved search of transaction lines versus that item field. In conclusion, while NetSuite provides flexibility in handling quantities in different transactions, it does not directly allow a sales order to consume quantity on an item demand plan. Customizations or workarounds may be necessary to achieve this functionality. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
