As we know that different Item components are pieced together to form an Assembly Item and different Assembly Items may be using the identical components. When we want to know the list of places where the item is being used there is a function in NetSuite called “Component Where Used Inquiry” by using this feature we can know the list of places where the component is being used.
For example, if we use item#24567 (a table leg) as a component in items that we assemble. We can run the “Component Where Used Inquiry” for information about where that component is used:
- Item#44555, small square table, requires 4 table legs per assembly.
- Item#55666, medium console table, requires 3table legs per assembly.
- Item#66777, large rectangle table, requires 6 table legs per assembly.
Data is also returned for sub-assembly component requirements:
- Item#77888, 3-piece table set includes one small square table, one medium console table, and one large rectangle table.
To produce one of item #77888 requires 13 table legs per assembly.
To run the Component Where Used inquiry:
Go to Transactions > Manufacturing > Component Where Used Inquiry.
Note: If a parent assembly item is not active for the date specified, then child item does not show in the list.
