Set default Subsidiary on Work Order creation

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it appears that setting a default Subsidiary on Work Order creation is not directly possible through the NetSuite UI. The Subsidiary is typically inherited from the Customer / Company record on transactions, and downstream transactions inherit it from the Created From. However, there are a few potential workarounds: 1. Workflow or User Event Script: You could potentially use a workflow or user event script to set the Subsidiary field value on before record load of the Work Order record. This would give you the flexibility to change the Subsidiary if required in the future. Here's a general idea of how you might set up the workflow:

code block
    1. Create a new workflow.
    2. Set the record type to Work Order.
    3. Add a Set Field Value action on before record load.
    4. Set the field to Subsidiary and the value to your desired default Subsidiary.

2. Centralized Purchasing and Billing: If you have OneWorld, you could turn on the centralized purchasing and billing feature in the Enable Features > Items & Inventory. This would allow you to create Work Orders from any Subsidiary. However, this does have other implications on inventory, so you would need to check that out before turning it on. Please note that these are potential workarounds and may not work in all situations. Always test thoroughly before implementing in a live environment. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
