NS purchase order — Path 2 · inventory or assembly build

Path 2 is the PO process when triggered by an internal purchasing need — inventory replenishment, assembly build components, packaging supply, or general purchasing. No Sales Order link; no customer PO# threading. Product arrives at the GFS facility, loading dock receives it, Item Receipt is completed in NetSuite, and inventory is credited at the correct location (inventory_balance.quantityavailable += received qty). The universal ★ automation alert then fires to Finance because receiving happens at the dock but billing/payment is Finance-owned. Finance reviews the PO + Item Receipt + supporting docs (packing slip, vendor invoice), processes the Vendor Bill, and pays per vendor terms. PO closes once all items received + billed + paid + any shortages/damages/substitutions/pricing issues resolved. Workflow contract: po_lifecycle_inventory_or_build_path (risk 2). No customer-side cycle on this path — the memo field carries an internal req# or vendor invoice# instead of a customer PO#.
