in the wip and routing, how does the cost take from the labor rates assigned to employees?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In the context of WIP (Work in Progress) and Routing in NetSuite, the cost is derived from the labor rates assigned to employees through the Manufacturing Cost Template. This template handles Labor Run, Labor Setup, Machine Run, and Machine Setup. The times for each are built in the routing sequence step. The Cost Template allows for granular costs to be built out at the routing sequence level. This means that if you are using manufacturing routing, the Bill of Materials (BOM) should not contain the labor component as it is already handled by the Manufacturing Cost Template. When implementing WIP at a later date, it's important to note that it may affect other departments depending on the company structure. Teams creating estimates may need to relearn new items, how to create estimates, insertion orders, timesheets, etc. However, the specific impact would depend on the unique processes and workflows of your organization. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
