NSC | Custom Field - Source values from BOM to Work Order

edited Aug 15, 2025 1:03AM in SuiteCloud / Customization

In NetSuite, some companies require their Work Orders to source a Custom Field from the Bill of Materials. Unfortunately, this is not possible natively. However, a workaround for this would be to use a Saved Search and a Custom Field. In this article, we'll guide you on how to do this.

Create a Transaction Saved Search:

Criteria subtab:

  • Filter: Type
  • Description: is Work Order

Results subtab:

  • Field: <The Custom Field on your BOM>
  • Summary Type: Maximum

Available Filters subtab:

  • Filter: Internal ID

Create a Custom Field (Work Order):

  • Type: Free-Form Text
  • Store Value: Unchecked
  • Applies To: Work Order/Assembly Build

Howdy, Stranger!
