what is input quantity in operations of work order

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In the context of NetSuite's Work Order operations, the input quantity refers to the number of units of the assembly item that you plan to produce. This quantity is specified at the header level when creating a work order. When you enter the assembly item and the quantity on the header, the lines will bring in the components with the correct line-level quantities. For example, if component A = 1 and component B = 2, and the quantity at the header level is set to 5, each component will show the correct quantities (A = 5, B = 10) on the line. However, it's important to note that the order in which you set header level fields can affect these quantities. For instance, changing something at the header level after setting the quantity can reset those quantities erroneously. A common example of this is the location field. Also, if you're using Advanced Manufacturing, there might be a bug that messes with quantities at the line level when you change values on work orders. If you're creating work orders via script and the component line quantities are not showing up correctly, you might need to force sync/sourcing or try in dynamic mode. If that doesn't work, you might need to load the record after the Work Order is saved and then loop through the lines to correct the line quantities. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
