The subcontracting worksheet lets you find production orders with material ready to send to a subcontractor and automatically create purchase orders for subcontract operations from production order routings. The worksheet functions like the planning worksheet — it calculates the needed supply (purchase orders), which you review and then create with the Carry Out Action Message action.
Tip
You can also create subcontracting purchase orders directly from released production order routings without using the worksheet. Learn more in Order subcontracting from production orders.
Note
Only production orders with a status of Released can be accessed and used from a subcontracting worksheet.
Calculate the subcontracting worksheet
Choose the
icon, enter Subcontracting Worksheet, and then choose the related link.To calculate the worksheet, choose the Calculate Subcontracts action.
On the Calculate Subcontracts page, set filters for the subcontracted operations, or the work centers where they're performed, to calculate only the relevant production orders.
Choose the OK button.
Review the lines on the Subcontracting Worksheet page. The information in this worksheet comes from the production order and production order routing lines and flows to the purchase order when that document is created. You can delete a row from the worksheet without affecting the original information, just as you can with the other worksheets. The information reappears the next time you run the Calculate Subcontracts function.
Create the subcontract purchase order
- Choose the icon, enter Subcontracting Worksheet, and then choose the related link.
- Choose the Carry Out Action Message action.
- Select the Print Orders field to print the purchase order as it's created.
- Choose the OK button.
If all subcontracted operations are sent to the same vendor location, then only one purchase order is created.
The worksheet line that was turned into a purchase order is deleted from the worksheet. After a purchase order is created, it doesn't appear in the worksheet again.
Post subcontracting purchase orders
After subcontracting purchase orders are created, you can post them. To learn about posting and its effects on production order entries, see Post subcontracting purchase orders.
