Does Netsuite has Item Substitution on BOM's? We are trying to tell Netsuite to use another Inventory Item when one is not available.
s
if you don't have advanced manufacturing, definitely not.... if you do then perhaps you could just use alternate bom/revision?
m
Got it. Thanks for sharing. BTW, Where do I check to see if we have Advance Manufacturing? I don't see that option in "Enable Features".
s
You can check in enable features…When you set up your assembly items, do you just put the components directly on the item record at sublist level or are there completely separate records for BOMs/Revisions/Routings?
m
We have multilevel Assemblies and we use BOM's, Revs and Routings.
s
Then you have advanced manufacturing, those things don't exist without advanced manufacturing
r
That is incorrect.
• Revisions are a part of the Advanced BOMs feature • Routings are a part of the WIP and Routings module • Advanced Manufacturing is a bolt on NetSuite product that has it's own tab typically and is used if you're utilizing tablet recording, finite scheduling or rough cut capacity planning typically To answer the initial question, it is not a native functionality to do this. You can utilize item commitments and a saved search showing shortages to indicate where substitutions are required. You then edit the Work Order directly in the Components tab with the substitution. To automate this would be a customization.
