a lot of times we create Formula work orders that do not get built to the quantity for the work order. Is there something that can be done to close specific department Work Orders once 1 build is complete towards the work order

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, you can indeed complete a work order with a partial quantity. When you post completions, you need to select the starting and ending operations and then enter the completed quantity. If the ending operation is the last operation in the routing, then the quantity to build will copy the completed quantity field. However, if you want to close specific department Work Orders once 1 build is complete towards the work order, you might need to create a custom SuiteScript or workflow to automate this process. This script or workflow would need to monitor the status of the work order and automatically close it once the first build is complete. For mass closing of work orders, you might also need to create a custom SuiteScript or workflow. However, be aware that changing the status to 'closed' might not be sufficient, as the status could revert back to 'released'. You might need to mark them as 'Built' instead. As for creating a saved search or report to show current WIP in manufacturing, it can be done using formulas in your search results, as all the necessary data are available. You would need to create a formula that pulls out the relevant information from the work order. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
