Creating Manufacturing Work Benches
Manufacturing work bench records extend NetSuite routing records to help you refine your manufacturing process. You can define lag times, assign assets, and increment batch production. A unique work bench record represents each routing step.
To create a manufacturing work bench record:
-
Go to Advanced Manufacturing > Administration/Setup > Manufacturing Work Bench > New.
-
To designate this operation's manufacturing activity type, in the Manufacturing Operation section, select a Process Type from the list.
-
In the NetSuite Routing Name list, select the routing record that the work bench record extends from the list.
-
Select the Assembly Item associated with the selected NetSuite routing from the list.
-
Enter an Operation Seq number from the routing record.
The Advanced Manufacturing SuiteApp sequence number must match the NetSuite sequence number. From the assembly, you can view the routing, which lists each operation by name and sequence number.
-
Select an Operation Name that matches the NetSuite operation name for the routing and operation sequence from the list.
-
Select a Work Center that matches the NetSuite work center name from the list.
-
Enter a unique work bench record ID in the Mfg Work Bench field.
You should use the NetSuite routing name combined with the operation sequence. For example, Final Assembly.
