Path 2 covers the case where the company builds product into inventory for future sales / sell-through. No parent SO. No customer side. No Finance handoff on the WO itself. Build reasons include reorder_point breach, sales forecast, bid pre-build (e.g. B5875 ahead of QBL), USDA drawdown commit (e.g. barrel cheddar processing), or R&D pilot run. WO is entered standalone (workorder.createdfrom = NULL), item / quantity / location / component requirements are confirmed, production runs, the Assembly Build record is entered in NetSuite (Mike approves at /assembly-build.html), FG is added to inventory at the correct location, components are consumed through the build process, and the WO closes naturally. The finished goods remain available for future Sales Orders — Finance enters then. Workflow: wo_lifecycle_inventory_build_path.

Path 2 has no customer PO# threading because there is no parent SO. The WO is standalone (workorder.createdfrom = NULL). Mike's notes confirm PO# threading on SO/PO/Invoice/Vendor Bill chains — Path 2 is the only chain where this does not apply.
bodyFields.memo = freeform operator note (e.g. "bid B5875 pre-build for QBL"). Not customer PO# (none exists).createdfrom = 4499 (WO id) — ties to WO; WO has no parent SO. Chain terminates at FG availability.Schema-layer TBD reminder: The WO.memo field is still TBD globally pending Mike's review of the Path 1 customer PO# threading. On Path 2 the field is freeform (no PO# semantic), so the TBD does not block this path's flow — but every WO Schema reference is marked TBD until confirmed.
wo_lifecycle_inventory_build_path · risk 2 REALorigin = inventory_build. Standalone WO — no parent SO, no Item Fulfillment, no Finance handoff on the WO itself. Finance enters later when the FG is sold via a future SO.
