Subcontracting Output

Hello Friends,

We have some Production work that gets done with outside vendors. We have setup a Routing with Work Centers for three outside sub-contracting vendors; the last Work Center is the third subcontracting step.

After creating the POs via the SubContracting Worksheet, when we do the Receiving process for the last routing step (from the third vendor), then NAV automatically posts the Production Quantity to our PROD bin (the designated production output bin). However, usually our Production Manager uses the Production Journal to do this output step. So when he went and did the output from that Production Order's Production Journal then it resulted in double output of the Finished quantity?

My question is, if NAV automatically outputs the Production Quantity when we receive the last Work Center operation (the last operation is currently a subcontracting vendor) then is it still necessary to use the Production Journal to do the output? Or alternatively, how can I tell NAV to stop automatically outputting the Production Quantity to the PROD bin so we can do it manually via the Production Journal? If we add another generic work center as the last step on the Routing (so receiving the subcontracting step isn't the last operation) will NAV stop automatically outputting and let us use the Production Journal instead?

Please advise,

Thank you very much.
