manufacturingoperationtask

transaction

The operation task on a work order: one row per step being executed, with its work center, cost template, scheduled dates, input and completed quantities, and both the standard and the actual run and setup times.

Module: ManufacturingNo partition column
Grain note

no lastmodifieddate — full refresh. The analytic hook is the PAIR of columns: runrate and setuptime are what the routing said, actualruntime and actualsetuptime are what happened. Compare them per step; do not average one across steps of different lengths.

Notes

Browser page name is manufacturingOperationTask. This is the one record in the catalog that points back at the spine: `workorder` holds the internal id of a transaction row, so it is the bridge between the manufacturing master data and the document; see quirks #work-orders. Its status column has no public value list, like the spine's — see quirks #status-codes. actualwork and remainingwork are typed as durations on the page rather than as plain numbers, and no public source states their unit, so they are landed as numbers and read alongside the minute-stated run and setup columns rather than added to them. The self-join that orders the steps and the predecessor and cost-detail children are page-listed but not cataloged here: they are scheduling plumbing, and the work center they name is an entity group, not a warehouse record.

What the badges mean
master
Data class: what the record holds — master data, transaction documents, control/configuration, or a documented convenience record. NetSuite has no product-family or schema axis, so this is the whole classification.

Structural facts — how the record is partitioned, not a trap by itself

Subsidiary-scoped
The record carries a subsidiary column that partitions its rows, so the generated SQL anchors it. On a few records the column is a multiselect rather than a scalar foreign key — the table notes say which (see the quirks guide).
Location-scoped
The record carries a location column — an org segment in NetSuite before it is a warehouse — and the generated SQL anchors it the same way.

Join & extract hazards — verify before you rely on this

View
A documented convenience record rather than a stored one. Land the records it stands in for instead of assuming it extracts as-is — the table notes say where the rows actually live.
In field listings, the Key chip marks a primary-key field, and the T/F chip marks a check-box column Connect returns as a 'T'/'F' string.

Boilerplate SQL

Starting point for reading the Connect-landed copy of manufacturingoperationtask on Databricks — dates are real DATE/TIMESTAMP columns and need no conversion, and the partition anchors are already in place. This record carries no modification stamp, and the snippet says so where the watermark would otherwise go. Set your Unity Catalog location, schema, and filter values below; they’re substituted into the SQL and the copy button.

Query parameters

5 parameters not filled: <catalog>, <schema>, <id>, <DATE_FROM>, <DATE_TO>

-- ============================================================
-- Table  : manufacturingoperationtask — The operation task on a work order: one row per step being executed, with its work center, cost template, scheduled dates, input and completed quantities, and both the standard and the actual run and setup times.
-- Purpose: Column-selected read of manufacturingoperationtask — auto-generated from field metadata
-- Grain  : One row per id
-- Caution: no lastmodifieddate — full refresh. The analytic hook is the PAIR of columns: runrate and setuptime are what the routing said, actualruntime and actualsetuptime are what happened. Compare them per step; do not average one across steps of different lengths.
-- Notes  : Auto-generated skeleton for NetSuite data landed in your lakehouse from a SuiteAnalytics Connect (or SuiteQL) extract — it never addresses live NetSuite. Identifiers are lowercase as NetSuite2.com renders them. Select-type columns hold numeric internal ids: BUILTIN.DF() display resolution exists only at extraction time, so decode ids by joining the landed list records; see quirks #display-values. Check-box columns arrive as 'T'/'F' strings; see quirks #tf-booleans.
