what the function of allow overage on work order in netsuite

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The function of "Allow Overage on Work Order Transactions" in NetSuite is to allow the receipt of quantities greater than what was originally specified in the Work Order. This is particularly useful in manufacturing scenarios where the actual output might exceed the planned quantity. However, it's important to note that while this setting allows for the receipt of overage, it does not automatically adjust the consumption of raw materials. In other words, if you receive an overage on a Work Order, NetSuite will still show the same amount of raw materials consumed as if you had just received the original quantity. This might require manual adjustments or additional processes to accurately reflect the consumption of raw materials for the overage units. In the context of Inbound Shipments, it seems that overages are not supported out of the box. Some users have suggested workarounds such as receiving the quantity on the Purchase Order and then editing the receipts to account for overages. However, these solutions might not be ideal for all scenarios and could require custom scripting or process 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. ******
