Subcontracting Assembly Order Page
As an alternative to opening multiple documents to complete a subcontracting process in an assembly order, the Subcontracting Assembly Order page manages and controls each step of an external assembly, including supply of components. Access the page from the Assembly Order or Assemble-to-Order-Lines page by choosing the Subcontracting action on the Home menu
In the Subcontracting Assembly Order page, the Subcontracting Worksheet, Transfer Orders, and Purchase Orders can be created and opened.
The Subcontracting Assembly Order page is generally the same as the Subcontracting Prod. Order page. The fields on the General and Schedule FastTabs are based on the Assembly Order, with the exception of the Subcontr. Wksh. Exists toggle on the General FastTab. This field indicates if a Subcontracting Worksheet for the assembly order has been created.
Subcontracting Assembly Lines FastTab
The fields on the Subcontracting Assembly Lines FastTab are described in the following table.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Enclosure Components | Indicates whether the assembly has enclosure components. |
| Requisition Line Exists | Indicates if a requisition line exists for the assembly order line. |
| Purchase Line | Specifies the number of the open purchase order for the assembly order line, which is used for posting the value of the subcontracting (via Item Charges) to the item value entries. |
| Posted Purchase Receipt | This field currently has no functionality. |
| Transfer Order | Specifies the number of the open transfer order created for enclosure components. If more than one transfer order was created due to multiple locations, the number of transfer orders will be shown instead of the transfer order number. If multiple transfer orders are created, the Transfer Orders list will open instead of the transfer order. |
| Posted Transfer Order | Specifies the number of the posted transfer order created for enclosure components. If more than one transfer order was created and posted due to multiple locations, the number of posted transfer orders will be shown instead of the posted transfer order number. If multiple transfer orders are posted, the Posted Transfer Receipts list will open instead of the posted transfer receipt. |
| Encl. Drop Shipment | Specifies the number of the enclosure drop shipment purchase order or the posted enclosure drop shipment receipt. For more information, see Drop Shipment to the Subcontractor. |
| Product Transfer Order | Specifies the transfer order number of the fully assembled product from the subcontractor. |
| No. | Specifies the number of the assembly component (resource). |
| Description | Description of the assembly component (resource). |
| Subcontractor No. | Specifies the number of the subcontractor assigned to the assembly component (resource). |
| Quantity | Specifies how many units of the assembly component (resource) are expected to be consumed. |
| Type | Specifies if the assembly order line is of type Item or Resource. In this case, it will always be Resource because this relates to the assembly component (resource). |
| Unit Cost | Specifies the cost of one unit of the resource on the line. |
| Unit of Measure Code | Specifies how the unit of the resource is measured, such as in hours. By default, the value in the Base Unit of Measure field on the Resource Card is inserted. |

The subcontracting-related actions on the action bar are described in the following table.
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Create Subcontracting Worksheet | Creates and opens a Subcontracting Worksheet with Name = {Assembly Order No.} for the assembly lines. Running this function turns on the Subcontr. Wksh. Exists toggle on the General FastTab and sets the Requisition Line Exists field to Yes on the Subcontracting Assembly Lines FastTab in the Subcontracting Assembly Order page. |
| Open Subcontracting Worksheet | Opens the Subcontracting Worksheet for the assembly lines. |
| Create Purchase Order | Runs the Carry Out Action Message function on the Subcontracting Worksheet and creates a Purchase Order for the completed item and a Transfer Order for the enclosed components.

Running this function deletes the Subcontracting Worksheet line so the Requisition Line Exists field is set to No in the Subcontracting Assembly Order page. |
