Manufacturing Mobile Work Messages
Work messages are exception messages that prompt the manager to review reported consumption and production data, and modify them when required. You can review and modify the reported data at any time, independent of any validation processes.
If incorrect data has been processed, you can delete the build in NetSuite, correct or report the data, and then reprocess data.
