does issue components to work order affect inventory valuation

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Yes, issuing components to a work order does affect inventory valuation. When you issue components to a work order, the system decreases the quantity of the components in your inventory and increases the quantity of the assembly item being built. This process affects the inventory valuation because the cost of the components is transferred to the cost of the assembly item. When you issue components to a work order, the system uses the cost of the components to calculate the cost of the assembly item. If the components have a purchase price set, the system uses this price to calculate the cost of the assembly item. If the components do not have a purchase price set, the system uses the average cost of the components in your inventory. However, it's important to note that if there are any changes in the quantity of the components due to damages or returns, these changes should be properly accounted for in the system. If not, they will still show as committed to the work order and this can lead to inaccuracies in your inventory valuation. In terms of creating a Work Order Issue from a Work Order, you can use the

record.transform()

method in SuiteScript. However, you need to set the inventory detail for the components. This involves selecting the item, setting the bin, lot number, and quantity. It's recommended to learn how to create the inventory details in the UI first, then retrieve the inventory detail in code, so you can see the IDs of the fields you set. Then, you can work on setting the fields in your code. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******

not true. the issue just turns the inv value of the components to WIP then when you do the completion it goes to the assembly item
