I have a subcontracting scenario in D365 and I am facing an issue with batch-tracked components.
Item A has a BOM where:
Item B = subcontracting service (vendor service)
Item C = semi-finished material (inventory item)
When I create a production order for item A, the system automatically creates a purchase order for the subcontracting service (item B).
When I receive and post the PO for item B, the system automatically consumes item C and finishes the production order — this works fine when item C does not require a batch.
However, if item C has batch tracking enabled, then when I try to post the subcontracting purchase order, the system shows an error saying that the batch number is required. The automatic process cannot assign a batch, so the PO posting fails and the production order does not finish automatically.
My question:
Is there a standard way to automatically assign a batch to the consumed item in this subcontracting flow?
Or is manual batch selection/customization the only option?
Thanks in advance for any help!
