Released production order

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 496

Hi,

I'm curious about subcontract since the PO came from released production and making a transfer order of raw materials to the vendor - the FG will be produced by vendor, but they do  not own the rawmats. The question is, how am I able to track my expense on production and what will happened to the released production order? Will it just there on the list?

I have the same question (0)

    Are you using a different location code for this order being completed by a subcontractor? If the component stock isn't at your premises and is delivered to a different address I strongly recommend this approach. To keep track of costs and aid the procurement/transfer I would use SKU on the component items. Use the transfer option as the replenishment system. This way the planning worksheet or requisition worksheet will know to create purchases or transfers to the location you have for the production order.

    Once the subcontract worksheet has been used the PO is directly linked to a production order. Use the PO to complete the production. So receipting the FG will result in the production order having associated postings for the capacity and consumption. Production order has to be manually or batch changed to finished as standard.

    Hi,

    First i will explain my understanding of your question to guarantee that I will respond correctly.

    Release Production Order with Components and Operations

    Part of the Operations (One, Many or All) are against a Work Center marked as subcontracted

    Using Subcontracting Worksheet, a new PO is created against the related Vendor to purchase the service of the subcontracting.

    Having this scenario, the differences with a non-subcontracted released production order are:

    . At Purchase Line level, the fields 5401 (Prod. Order No.), 99000750 (Routing), 99000751 (Operation No.), 99000752 (Work Center No.) and 99000754 (Prod. Order Line No.) have the linked information with the Released Production Order.

    . Looking for Production Order Statistics, the Actual, Expected Costs will appear under Subcontracting field.

    The consumption works the same way. So, if the Raw Materials should be consumed (even after transferring to other location), it works the same way (as non-subcontracted).

    When, the Purchase Order is received (linked with the Production Order), Business Central will post automatically the output Entries.

    After all the consumption, outputs, it is possible to finish the Production Order (as non subcontracting).

    Hi Josh/Jose;

    As I change the status of the released production order, it gives me an error. But prior to this, I've already ship and received the raw materials (created a separate location and linked to a vendor) and received and invoiced the purchase order.

    In addition, I was able to post the consumption on the production journal. I just can't  change the status to finished.

    Hi Gecel,

    The message is very clear. You do not have available stock for that Item(s).

    It seems that you are using Automatic Consumption (Flushing Backward) as the the change of the release production order triggers the consumption.

    Please verify the location in Components lines inside the Release Production Order (Line > Components). After transferring the RMs to a new location, the update of the location field at Components level should be done manually before posting the consumption.

    The error occur because I post the production journal prior to changing the status. Thank you Jose.
