NetSuite Professionals

One of our subsidiaries has one physical warehouse only. Within that warehouse, we allocate inventory to different "projects". We purchase and manufacture per "project". 

How can we effectively allocate stock to these "projects"? How can we use MRP considering these "projects"? Do we have to create them as separate locations? A different segment but how does that work for MRP? Etc.

Do you make Work orders or sales order for the project?

All transactions should be tagged to a "project".

<@U2A2VHL3W> not sure if custom segments can work well with MRP. Can NS suggest orders per "project" if they are custom segments? I think if I'm not mistaken unless there is witty workaround.

NetSuite won't consider Segments or Projects in the production of signals. All that matters are lead times, planning windows and dates. You may need to look at a tool called supply allocation.
