NetSuite 2025.2 includes the following enhancements to Manufacturing features:

BOM Revision Components System Notes

Before NetSuite 2025.2, it was not possible to access the history of all changes made within an Advanced BOM revision.

Now, for each component related to the Advanced BOM revision, there is a History link that opens a table with the list of all changes made including information such as date, username, old and new value.

To access the history, follow the steps below:

  1. Go to Lists > Supply Chain > Bill of Materials.

  2. Click View beside the BOM.

  3. In the Revisions subtab, click the name of the BOM revision for which you want to view the history.

  4. In the newly opened window, in the Components subtab, you will see a list of components related to the Advanced BOM Revision and a new History link.

Note:

If the component has been deleted, its history will no longer be available.

Relation Between Build and Unbuild Transactions

Before NetSuite 2025.2, it was not possible to determine if there were Assembly Unbuilds related to a Work Order or an individual Assembly Build. Additionally, on the Assembly Unbuild page, there was no information about which specific Assembly Build it originated from.

Now, you can find this information in the following ways:

  • On the Assembly Build page, there is a new Related Records subtab with a list of all related Assembly Unbuilds. If applicable, a new Unbuilt field is also displayed, showing the total quantity unbuilt from all Assembly Unbuilds created from this Assembly Build.

  • On the Work Order page, a new Unbuilt field is displayed showing the total quantity unbuilt from all Assembly Unbuilds created from all Assembly Builds related to this Work Order.

  • On the Assembly Unbuild page, there is a new Created From field that contains a link to the related Assembly Build.

Outsourced Manufacturing Enhancements

Before NetSuite 2025.2, changes to the price of an Outsourced Manufacturing item in a Purchase Order were not reflected in the related Assembly Build or the final production cost. Now, the price is automatically updated in the following cases:

  • When the Rate field is changed on the Purchase Order page

  • When the Rate field is changed on the Item Receipt page. This update is reflected in the related Assembly Build if the new Generate Accruals preference is selected for the Outsourced Manufacturing item.

The new Generate Accruals preference can be enabled by following these steps:

  1. Follow the steps 1-9 in the Creating an Outsourced Manufacturing Item Help Topic.

  2. On the Preferences subtab, check the Generate Accruals box.

It is now also possible to change the location for receiving the final product on the Item Receipt page. An Inventory Transfer is automatically created. If the To Location field is changed to the original location, the Inventory Transfer is deleted.

In addition, if an Assembly Build does not have a set transaction date and posting period, these fields are automatically synchronized with the Date and Posting Period fields on the Item Receipt page.

Finally, you can now apply custom Purchase Order and Work Order forms for automated outsourced transactions. To select a preferred form:

  1. Go to Setup > Manufacturing > Manufacturing Preferences.

  2. In the Outsourced Manufacturing subtab, select Purchase Order and Work Order forms from the list.
