Subcontracting with Multiple Vendors

Companies often have more than one vendor for parts – even if the parts were given to an external production. Therefore, it is possible to enter vendors and prices in the Item Vendor Catalog for external production vendors so that you can change the vendor directly from the Subcontracting Worksheet. The vendor on the Work Center Card is the main supplier and the others are alternative vendors.

The process of creating the Subcontractor Worksheet is the same as described in Subcontracting Production Order. The only difference with using multiple vendors is that the Item Vendor Catalog page opens from the Subcontracting Worksheet if a new vendor is needed.

When a vendor is selected, any pricing specific for the item will be transferred to the Subcontracting Worksheet line.

When the Create Purchase Order function is run, a Purchase Order to the new vendor and a Transfer Order (or Transfer Journal) will be created. The Purchase Order will include the new price from the subcontracting worksheet line and the Transfer Order will use the value entered in the Location Code Subcontracting field from the Vendor Card as the Transfer-To-Location. At the same time, the location code in the Prod. Order Component Lines is switched to this location code.
