New to NetSuite | Work Order Status Updates for Streamlined Production

edited Jul 16, 2025 5:56PM in Manufacturing

NetSuite’s Manufacturing Work In Progress (WIP) tracks the value of materials and labor in progress, while Manufacturing Routing defines the sequence of operations such as assembly, machining, and testing.
