Custom Mass Create Work Order Page in NetSuite

img

One of our clients had a requirement in the NetSuite implementation of a custom mass create work order page with additional sales information columns, Filters and Input fields to create the Work Orders for a contract. The purpose of this customization is to see whether the mass create work page will display additional sales information for the items in the Reorder Point section.

Requirement

The client requirement is to implement a custom mass create work page and customize the page to display additional sales information for the items in the Reorder Point section. 

The risks during the customization include, 

• We did exactly the same search without any modification to the result.  

• The Mark Subassemblies Phantom option on the custom page is not taken into account.  

Multiple submissions for work order creation are not possible. However, if two users begin selecting the same item and one of the users has completed WO creation prior to the other user who has just begun WO creation, then the second process will also run without any issues, even if both users have chosen the same item.  

Solution

The requirement was achieved by creating a custom page. The mass create work order page is not customizable or scriptable. Therefore, we cannot include an additional input field for Start Date, End Date, and Memo. Also, it is unable to populate those values into Work orders. As per the discussions with the client, our experts put forward a custom Mass Create Work Orders Page with additional sales information columns, Filters, and Input fields same as of the given saved search to create the Work Orders for a contract. 

Result

Our experts attained the requirements of the client successfully by creating a custom page.
