Multiple Subcontract Operations on the Same Production Route
Hi John Fortino.
I have been trying to replicate your process, and as I see it, you have two options depending on your needs.
1- One production order without declaring Semi-finished.
- Create a Route with operations first and last operation as vendor operations.
- Assign a vendor resource group to track costs of that labor.
- Create a BOM for your finished good, with your Raw materials, and the three services regarding to the subcontracting.
- Those services items must have assigned the operation of the route related in the BOM.
- They must have selecter Vendor item type in the BOM and also the vendor which will provide the service
- Finally iniciate the production order by operation, to control whether the production is in the vendor or in your facilities.
Pros:
- you'll have only one production order and you can keep things simple.
Cons:
- If you need to dispach semi finished items, it will be imposible to do so, as you are not reporting them on your production order
- for example, if you need to inform a transfer order for dispach the semi finished item form Reed Machining to Linetec for painting, you cannot do it because you will not have the semi finished reported.
is in Ax2012 but the same setup applies for D365.
2- multiple production order with semi-finished items.
- Create a BOM with the two semi - finished items:
- Finished good
- SF- Painted item
- SF - Cut parts
- Raw materials
- Vendor service
- Raw materials
- Vendor service,
- Create one route for each production with every vendor operation.
- FG route
- SF Cutted parts route
- SF Painted item route.
in this case you will have 3 production orders, one for each vendor operation.
Pros:
you will have the possibility to dispach order form one facility to another as they are items in stock
Cons:
Your operations will be segmented in three order. But you could benefit working with the pegged supply bom line to create automatically all three orders and have those items reserved for the next one.
