Hi:

We tested processing a Production Order for a finished good whose Routing contains a Subcontractor's Work Center.

Although there's never an issue in creating and processing a Purchase Order from the Subcontractor Worksheet, the Production Order itself displays no warning of any kind upon changing its status to "Finished" even if no Purchase Order is generated or processed for the Subcontractor by the end user.

We would've thought that processing of the Production Order would've been stopped by the system if no processing of a Purchase Order for the subcontractor would've been carried out, even though it's true that all components and Routing steps are backflushed.

In any case, why is no error given in processing the Production Order even when the end user forgets to generate and process a Purchase Order for the Subcontractor?

Thanks!

John

Subcontractor Work Center for Routing

Hi,

As far as I am aware there is a check when trying to change the status of a production order to finished. See below.

My components and routings were all set to backflush.

Work Centre 500 relates to a subcontractor and had the following purchase order created via the subcontact worksheet.

If you look at the purchase order line then you see that it has been matched to the production order.

When you create the purchase order can you check it has been linked to the production order? If I don't get the purchase order created via the subcontract worksheet then I get a different error although about item journal template.

hope that helps,

Shauna
