Track materials sent to a supplier for an outsourced routing operation.
Step by step
- 1Enable Subcontracting in Production Planning and configure the applicable supplier on the outsourced operation.
- 2Open Subcontracts, select an available subcontracted operation and review its production order.
- 3Choose the supported return type and add the material lines with the actual quantities you intend to send.
- 4Review and record dispatch. Track what the supplier holds rather than treating dispatch as finished output.
- 5Record returned components or finished goods using the available receipt process and check outstanding quantities before proceeding.
Supplier billing and physical material return are separate events. Finished-goods return is intended for an eligible final operation; do not receive the same finished stock again.
