Unfortunately when you have a part set up as an auto issue component there is no way of having it consume the works order you have created. Auto issue will automatically issue from the child works order if there is one, but if you have created a Works Order manually then it will auto issue from the oldest stock.
Our recommendation for the bespoke orders that you raise is to untick the auto issue box within the components screen of the works order. This will then allow you to choose where you issue the component from. You can then choose the batch created from the manual works order.
Linking a works order for an assembly component to the top level part
When we have a bespoke order for a part that requires a change to the assembly we create a manual works order to act as the child works order for the order. Is there anyway for it to detect this is intended for the top part works order?
