Creating a Static Employee Group
To work with the NetSuite Manufacturing Mobile SuiteApp, you must define at least one static employee group and assign a location to it. The static employee group is used as a work center.
You can add or remove members from a static group at any time. If you use WIP and routing, update an existing employee static group (manufacturing work center). If you do not use WIP and routing, create a new employee static group.
To create a static employee group:
-
Go to Lists > Relationships > Groups > New.
-
On the Create Group page, choose Static.
-
From the Members list, select Employee.
-
Click Continue.
-
Complete Creating a Static Group.

(Optional) To enable this group to be used as a work center with routing records, check the Manufacturing Work Center box.
Clear this box for non-routing work orders.
-
Click the Manufacturing Work Center Settings subtab.
