Issue Work Orders

Use the Issue Work Orders function to build an item using the components specified in a bill of material or to remove components from an existing item ("unbuild") to restock inventory quantities. You cannot issue work orders for kitted items because these items are not assembled until you sell them.

Issuing work orders updates items' Committed quantities in Inventory.

A Build work order will consume the components from Inventory and reduce the quantity on hand when the work order is posted. It will add to the quantity on hand for the end assembly when the work order is posted.

An Unbuild work order will add the components to Inventory and increase the quantity on hand when the work order is posted. It will reduce the quantity on hand for the end assembly when the work order is posted.
