how to create a purchase order for insufficient quantity of an item in work order in the planning workbench

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To create a purchase order for an insufficient quantity of an item in a work order in the planning workbench, you can follow these steps: 1. Navigate to the Planning Workbench. If you don't have the workbench, you need to turn on the feature. You can find more information about this in SuiteAnswers. 2. Generate the Work Order via MRP because that needs to be complete to have the inventory to fulfill the demand. The Purchase Orders (POs) get generated from there. 3. If you receive an overage from your manufacturer, you can edit the assembly build after receipt. However, if you have already received to the Work Order and the quantity field is not editable, you can go to Setup > Manufacturing > Manufacturing Preferences and check the box for Allow Overage on Work Order Transactions. This will allow you to receive overage. 4. If the overage is not consuming the extra raw materials, you may need to manually adjust the raw materials consumed. NetSuite processes the same amount of raw materials consumed for the overage as it does if you had just received the original quantity. Please note that this process may require custom scripting if you want to automate the entire process. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
