generate planned work order

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To generate a planned work order in NetSuite, you would typically use the Demand Planning/Supply Planning modules. However, if you're dealing with outsourced manufacturing, the process might be a bit different. Here's a general process: 1. You would first generate the Work Order via the Planning Workbench or MRP (Material Requirements Planning) because that needs to be complete to have the inventory to fulfill the demand. 2. Then the Purchase Orders (POs) get generated from there. 3. If you're dealing with outsourced manufacturing, you'll need to create one of the POs or the WOs through supply generation. 4. If you have assembly items, you would typically create a PO that automatically creates a WO based on the PO lines. Please note that if someone mentioned that the whole process was automated, they were likely using a custom script. For more detailed information, you can refer to SuiteAnswers and look into the Planning Workbench and Outsourced Manufacturing sections. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
