Repack Orders

Repackage inventory between container sizes with a guided step-by-step workflow. Repack Orders handles output selection, input sourcing with lot-level tracking, prorated distribution calculations, and automatic work order creation — all with full WIP support inside NetSuite.

Step 1: Select Outputs

Start a repack by choosing the species and location, then select which output items you want to produce. Enter quantities and weights for each output. The Repack Builder displays real-time inventory metrics — Available, On Hand, SO Committed, WO Committed, ON PO, and Backordered — so you can make informed decisions about what to repackage.

Step 2: Select Inputs

Choose which input items to consume for the repack. The system displays all available items for the selected species with full inventory visibility. Select input quantities, and use the "Select Lots" button to pick specific lot numbers from available inventory at the selected location.

Intelligent Auto-Suggestions

Repack Orders intelligently suggests input items and quantities based on available inventory at the selected location. The system pre-selects container items and calculates quantities automatically, reducing manual data entry and ensuring accurate input-to-output ratios.

Lot-Level Selection

For each input item, open the lot selection popup to see all available lots at the location. Filter by inventory status, view available quantities per lot and bin, and specify exactly how much to use from each lot. The system enforces quantity limits and validates against available inventory in real time.

Review Repack Summary

Before creating work orders, review the complete repack summary showing all outputs and inputs side by side. The summary includes prorated distribution of sources to outputs — inputs and purchase order lines are distributed across outputs based on each item's share of the total requirement using quantity multiplied by conversion factor.

Work Order Creation

Once the repack summary is reviewed, create work orders directly from the repack record. The system generates NetSuite work orders with WIP support, linking them back to the repack record for full traceability. The status progresses from Draft to Work Order Creation In Progress to Work Order Created.

Work Order Detail with WIP

Created work orders include full production information — scheduling details, classification, component BOMs with allocated supply quantities, and WIP tracking. The work order references the originating repack record and supports packaging components, inventory detail, and standard NetSuite manufacturing workflows.

Key Capabilities

When to Use Repack Orders

• Container conversion: Repackaging bulk inventory into smaller container sizes (or vice versa).
• Format changes: Converting between different packaging formats within the same species.
• Lot traceability: Need lot-level traceability for input materials consumed during repacking.
