Building Assembly Items for a Work Order

To close a work order, you must complete a build that assembles the component items. Complete the steps below to process work orders for assembly builds on your mobile device.

Note:

You must set up a WIP bin location to build assembly items. For more information, see Creating Bin Locations or Carts.

If you activate the Autogenerate Lot Numbers? rule, the app automatically generates lot numbers for assembly items that you build. When you process an assembly build on the app, you can provide the lot number details that you specify for the assembly item. For more information, see System Rules for NetSuite WMS.

To build the assembly item for a work order:

  1. On your mobile device, tap the menu icon Menu icon at the top-left corner of the screen, and then tap Main Menu.

  2. On the Main Menu page, tap Work Orders.

  3. On the Work Orders page, tap Build Assembly.

  4. On the Select Work Order page, do one of the following:

    1. In the Scan/Enter Work Order # field, scan or enter the work order number. If you enter the data, tap Enter Work Order #.

    2. To select from the list of work orders, tap the work order number.

  5. On the Enter Quantity page, do the following:

    1. In the Enter Quantity field, enter the number of items you want to build.

    2. If you use the Inventory Status feature, in the Inventory Status field, select the status of the item.

    3. (Optional) If you have set up mobile printing and want to manually print labels, tap Print.

      Tip:

      You can print labels with lot or serial numbers on pages on which you can enter them. See step 6 or step 8, respectively.

      For more information about mobile printing, see Manually Printing Labels from Your Mobile Device.

    4. Tap Enter Quantity.

  6. If you want to build a lot assembly item, on the Enter Lot page, do the following:

    1. If you can autogenerate lot numbers, on the Autogenerate Lot Number page, enter the details you want to include in the lot number. Then, tap Autogenerate Lot Number.

      Alternatively, you can tap the more icon, and then tap Skip if you do not want to autogenerate lot numbers for this assembly item.

    2. On the Enter Lot page, to manually enter a lot number, set values in the following fields:

      • Scan/Enter Lot – Scan or enter the lot number.

        For autogenerated numbers, the number appears in the Autogenerate LotNumber field instead.

      • Expiry Date – (Optional) You can enter the expiry date for the lot.

        If you entered the expiry date in step 6.a for the autogenerated number, you cannot edit it in this field.

    3. If you want to manually print a label with the lot number, tap Print. See Manually Printing Labels from Your Mobile Device.

    4. Tap Enter Lot.

  7. For warehouse locations that use bins, on the Enter Bin page, do one of the following:

    • In the Scan/Enter Bin field, scan or enter the bin number. If you enter the data, tap Enter Bin to proceed.

    • To select from the list of bins, tap the Show all bins toggle, and then tap the bin number.

  8. If you want to build a serialized assembly item, on the Enter Serial Number page, in the Scan/Enter Serial Number field, scan or enter the serial number. If you enter the data, tap Enter Serial Number to proceed.

    Repeat this step to enter more serial numbers.

    Tip:

    If you want to manually print a label with the serial number, enter the serial number, and then tap Print. See Manually Printing Labels from Your Mobile Device.

  9. If your warehouse location uses bins and you want to stage inventory items, tap Go to Staging, and then on the Enter Staging Bin page, do one of the following:

    • In the Scan/Enter Staging Bin field, scan or enter the number of the staging bin. If you enter the data, tap Enter Staging Bin to proceed.

    • To select from the list of bins, tap the Show all bins toggle, and then tap the bin number.

    A message appears to confirm that you have staged the items successfully.

NetSuite records a completed assembly build on the work order and assigns the work order to Built status. It increases the assembly item’s stock level in the storage bin location where you put it away. It also decreases the component items' individual stock levels in the work-in-progress (WIP) bin from which you built the assembly.
