Purchase orders can only be created for sub-contract operations that have not yet been linked to a purchase order line. The purchase order type that is used must be set up as follows:
- Order/Return is set to 1 (order will be produced).
- Update stock on hand is set to NO, indicating that the stock on hand balance should not be updated after an order has been entered into the system.
When creating a purchase order for a sub-contract operation the following information is retrieved from the manufacturing order’s operation:
- Any existing text on the manufacturing order operation will be copied to the purchase order.
- The purchase order line price will be set according to following:
Sub-contract price + (Sub-contract set-up price * DIV Order qty) - The manufacturing order operation defines if VAT should be included or not.
- The item code that is set on the purchase order is retrieved from the manufacturing order parent item.
- Select the Work with sub-contract operations menu item.
- On the initial panel, select the operation for which you want to create a purchase order line and click Create pur order.
- You access Work with purchase orders, Order line, main info. The system has automatically created a purchase order line. For information about how to maintain the purchase order, see Maintain a purchase order connected to a sub-contract operation. For this task, click OK to accept the purchase order line information.
- You return to the initial panel where the order number of the created purchase order line is displayed in the Purchase order field. Exit the routine.
