how can i add the employee labor hours to a work order?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To add employee labor hours to a work order in NetSuite, you can use the following steps: 1. Use a Service Item: You can add labor time as a service item in the Bill of Materials (BOM) or in the manufacturing cost template. This way, the labor hours can be included as part of the work order. 2. Use Timesheets: If your employees are recording their time spent on tasks, you can use the Timesheets feature in NetSuite. The Post Time functionality can automatically create Journal Entries out of those time entries. 3. Use Work Orders: In some instances, work orders are used to record service hours. Technicians can add components to the work order that get used during calls to remove them from inventory. They can also add their total hours worked. When the work order is completed, you can invoice the customer for the work performed. 4. Use Manufacturing Task Scheduler: If you are using manufacturing routing, you can use the MFG task scheduler to see schedules and move work orders around according to capacity. 5. Use Custom Fields: If you need to join data from multiple sources like work orders, sales orders, projects, and tasks, you can add a list/record field to one or the other so you can join to it via a saved search. You just need a mechanism for setting the related record in that search. 6. Use Dataset Linking: NetSuite has released dataset linking in SuiteAnalytics. You could build a Sales Order/Work Order dataset and link to a project/task dataset in SuiteAnalytics. Remember, these are general guidelines and the exact steps may vary based on your specific NetSuite setup and business processes. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
