Unbuilding as Assembly From a New Unbuild Transaction

If you do not want to unbuild an assembly from the original assembly build transaction, you can unbuild from a new unbuild transaction.

To unbuild an assembly from a new unbuild transaction:

  1. Go to Transactions > Manufacturing > Unbuild Assemblies

  2. Under Primary Information, complete the following fields:

    1. The Reference # field displays a system generated number. You can enter a different reference number to track this transaction.

    2. In the Assembly list, select the assembly item you want to unbuild.

      Required fields display a red asterisk (*).

      When you select an assembly item, the maximum number that you can unbuild appears in the Quantity Built field.

      If you use locations, the quantity that appears in the Quantity Built field is for the selected location.

      Note:

      If you use Multi-Location Inventory, when you select an assembly item and location, the maximum number you can unbuild appears in Quantity Built. If you do not select a location, the maximum number that you can unbuild does not appear in this field.

    3. If you use serialized inventory, enter the Serial Numbers for the assemblies you plan to unbuild.

    4. If you use bin management, select the Assembly Item Record Bin Number from Bin Numbers list. By default, all assemblies are removed from the preferred bin. To remove some items from other associated bins, click the Bins icon or Inventory Detail icon.

      When you unbuild this assembly, the bin quantity on hand decreases, and the bin quantity on hand for each member item increases.

    5. If you enabled Advanced Bill of Materials, select a Bill of Materials.

    6. If you enabled Advanced Bill of Materials, select a Bill of Materials Revision.

    7. In the Quantity to Unbuild field, enter the number of assembly items you want to unbuild.

      You cannot enter a quantity that exceeds the number in the Quantity Built field.

    8. The projected value of your disassembled items appears in the Projected Value field.

      Projected Value is the sum of the value of the member items times the quantity entered.

    9. In the Date field, enter the transaction date.

    10. If you use accounting periods, select a transaction Posting Period. You cannot post to a closed period.

    11. Enter a Memo. You can search for this text later to find this entry.

  3. In the Classification section, complete the following fields:

    1. If you use NetSuite OneWorld, select a Subsidiary.

    2. If you track departments, select a Department for this transaction.

    3. If you track classes, select a Class for this transaction.

    4. If you track locations, select a Location for this transaction.

  4. The Components subtab provides the inventory detail for each component.

  5. Click the Communication subtab.

    1. Enter events on the Events subtab. For example, maintenance, repair, or setup.

      1. Enter the event name or Title. For example, Assembly Work Center Setup.

      2. Enter the event Location. For example, West Coast Assembly.

      3. Accept today’s Date or use the calendar to enter a different date.

      4. If this is an all day event, check the All Day box.

      5. Enter event Start and End Times.

      6. Click Add.

        To add more events, repeat this procedure.

        For example, Setup could start at 7:00 am and end at 7:30 am. Then, Assembly could start at 7:30 am and end at 3:30 pm. Finally, Breakdown could start at 3:30 pm and end at 4:30 pm.

    2. On the Tasks subtab, view or enter CRM tasks records. For information about tasks, see Working with CRM Tasks.

    3. The Phone Calls subtab enables you to view or enter phone calls.

    4. The Files subtab enables you to attach files from the NetSuite File Cabinet, your computer, or the internet.

      • To add a file from the File Cabinet, select one from the Attach File list.

        After the file loads, NetSuite fills the Folder, Size, Last Modifed, and File Type fields.

      • To add a new file, in the Attach File list, select New.

        Complete the List window.

    5. On the User Notes subtab, add and track notations.

  6. Click Save.

After you save the transaction, your inventory count of the assembly item decreases and the inventory count of the member items increases accordingly.
