Subcontracting Production Order

As an alternative to opening multiple documents to complete a subcontracting process, use the Subcontracting Prod. Order page, where each step of external production including supply of components can be managed and controlled. Open the page from a Released Production Order by choosing Subcontracting on the Home menu.

In the Subcontracting Prod. Order page, the Subcontracting Worksheet, Transfer Orders, and Purchase Orders can be created and opened.

The fields on the General and Schedule FastTabs are the same as on the Production Order, with the exception of the Subcontr. Wksh. Exists toggle on the General FastTab. This field indicates if a Subcontracting Worksheet for the production order has been created.

Note

The Carry Out Action Message function does not need to be run manually on the Subcontracting Worksheet; it is run with the Create Purchase Order function.

Open the Transfer Order from the Transfer Order field on the line or from the Line menu on the Subcontracting Routing Lines FastTab. After the Transfer Order is posted, the Subcontracting Production Order line is updated with the posted document number.

The posting of the Transfer Order can be viewed in the Prod. Order Component page.

The Location Code field displays the value of the vendor location code and the former location is transferred to the Old Location Code field.

Open the Purchase Order from the Purchase Line field on the line or from the Line menu on the Subcontracting Routing Lines FastTab. After the Purchase Order is posted, the Subcontracting Production Order line is updated with the posted document number.

Action Bar

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 = {Production Order No.} for the routing 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 Routing Lines FastTab in the Subcontracting Prod. Order page.
Open Subcontracting Worksheet	Opens the Subcontracting Worksheet for the routing 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. If a drop shipment is set for an enclosure component, a purchase order for that will be created as well (see Drop Shipment to the Subcontractor). Running this function deletes the Subcontracting Worksheet line so the Requisition Line Exists field is set to No in the Subcontracting Prod. Order page. NOTE: The Subcontracting Worksheet remains open until the Production Order is finished.

The actions on the Related menu are the same as on the Production Order.
