With the cross-subsidiary fulfillment feature in NetSuite, it is possible to create a sales order in one subsidiary and fulfill it from another subsidiary. But in the case of special Purchase Orders and Work Orders, the functionality will not work.
No automatic work order will be created for Special Work Order items when Sales Order with Allow Cross-Subsidiary Fulfillment = T. If we edit the Sales Order and tick Create WO, a pop-up message will prevent the saving of Sales Order: “Items supplied by special order or drop shipment must be using an inventory location that is in the subsidiary of the sales order. Please change the inventory location value.”
This is currently logged as an enhancement request under 493601: Allow Cross-Subsidiary Fulfillment = T > Be able to process special PO/dropship PO with cross-subsidiary fulfillment.
