Completion Validation Preference

You can set a preference to validate that routing operation sequences are always followed in accordance with the work order. NetSuite uses this validation to ensure that the correct quantity is completed for each operational step before permitting the work order to continue processing. This preference restricts the completed quantity amount you can enter on a work order completion for a particular operation. Such verification helps prevent problems due to out-of-sequence processing.

Choose one of the following settings for the Check Completed Quantity in Prior Operations During Operation Completion preference:

No Verification – Choose this setting if you do not want to receive verification warnings.
Require Confirmation before Saving – Choose this setting to receive verification warnings. NetSuite permits the completed quantity to be greater than the predecessor completed quantity after the warning is acknowledged.
Do Not Allow Saving – Choose this setting to require that the completed quantity is not greater than the predecessor completed quantity.

Note:

This field defaults to No Verification. If you do not change this default setting, unverified completions can be entered. For more information about setting this preference, see Order Management Accounting Preferences.

For example, completing Operation B requires a set amount of items that are generated during Operation A. You can verify that the requirements of the predecessor have been met before saving the completion for Operation B.

Creating 5 units during Operation A is a predecessor for creating 5 units during Operation B.
You choose the preference setting Do Not Allow Saving. The total completed quantity of Operation B cannot be greater than the total completed quantity of Operation A.
Operation B requires 5 units that are created during Operation A. NetSuite verifies that 5 units are completed during Operation A before Operation B can begin.

For orders completed across multiple days or shifts, partial quantities can be logged over time.

Operation	Qty Day 1	Qty Day 2	Qty Day 3	Qty Day 4
Operation A	50	30	15	5
Operation B	40	40	5	15
Operation C	35	45	0	20
