How does Automatic Location Assigment work?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Automatic Location Assignment is a feature in NetSuite that automatically assigns a location to line items in transactions. This feature is particularly useful for businesses with multiple locations, as it helps streamline the process of assigning items to the correct location based on certain criteria. To enable Automatic Location Assignment, you would need to go to Setup > Company > Enable Features > Items & Inventory and check the box for 'Automatic Location Assignment'. Once enabled, NetSuite will automatically assign a location to each line item in a transaction based on the inventory levels and the location of the customer. In terms of cost, it's best to check with your NetSuite representative or review your contract to understand if there are any additional charges associated with this feature. If you want to set the Automatic Location Assignment to select a location based on a custom field on a customer, you can use a workflow to achieve that. You would need to create a workflow that triggers on the creation or editing of a transaction, and then use a Set Field Value action to set the location based on the custom field on the customer. For item fulfillments, once Automatic Location Assignment is enabled, it should automatically assign a location to each line item. If a location is not being set, it could be due to the inventory levels at the location or the location of the customer. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
