Creating a Manufacturing Mobile Work Order
You can use the Manufacturing Mobile interface to report on all work orders.
Follow this procedure to create a Manufacturing Mobile work order.
To create a Manufacturing Mobile work order:
-
Go to Transactions > Manufacturing > Enter Work Orders.
-
In the Custom Form field, select the Mfg Mobile - Work Order Form.
NetSuite generates the work Order # after you save the form and increases the largest work order number by one.
-
If you have a NetSuite OneWorld account, select a Subsidiary.
Your location and assembly options depend on your subsidiary.
-
Select the Assembly you need to build.
If you enable Advanced Bills of Materials, the Bills of Materials and Bills of Materials Revisions fields replace the Revision field. These fields are automatically populated based on the assembly item.
-
Enter the Quantity or number of assembly items you want to create, which can be a fractional number.
-
If you want to change the default current date as the work order Date, enter or select a different date.
-
If you want to change the default Released work order Status, select a different status.
-
If you select the Planned status, you can also check the Firmed box to firm the order.
This box is checked by default for Released orders. Firmed planned work orders are not deleted before supply planning runs.
-
Select a Location to display only work centers for that location.
The assembly build also displays the selected location.
If you set a default location for work orders, this field is populated with the default location. For instructions, see Assigning a Default Work Order Location and Work Center.
If you use the Multi-Location Inventory feature, you commit component inventory items from your selected location.
-
Select a Work Center within the location to specify the production area where the work effort is performed.
A work center is the production area within a location where this work effort is performed.
If you set a default work center for work orders, this field is populated with the default work center. For instructions, see Assigning a Default Work Order Location and Work Center.
For information about individual work orders, see Entering an Individual Work Order.
For information about assemblies and routing, see Configuring Assemblies and Routings.
Note:To pick more than the quantity in the WMS app, you must assign a work center to the work order.

On the Manufacturing Mobile subtab, you may enable the following settings depending on your work order requirements:
-
Backflush – Check this box to automatically consume all work order components at the standard BOM quantities.
For lot items, you can enable this option through the Automated Backflush for Lot Controlled Items preference. For more information, see Manufacturing Mobile Preferences.
If you check this box, reporting consumption is unavailable in the mobile scanner, but reporting production is still available.
Backflush is compatible with or without real time build and WIP work orders.
For more information, see Backflush Logic.
-
Real Time Build – By default, this box is checked and enabled for all types of work orders. To change this default setting, you can update the Default Real Time Build for Work Orders preference. For more information, see Manufacturing Mobile Preferences
Real time build automatically records ERP transactions whenever you report consumption or production in the mobile scanner. The Submit Work option is unavailable on the mobile scanner. No action is required to submit or process data in NetSuite.
Note:It is advisable not to disable the Real Time Build box.
You can clear the Real Time Build box if you want to manually trigger when ERP transactions are recorded and disable real time build. The Submit Work option is available on the mobile scanner. You must tap this option to submit or process data in NetSuite
