Item subcontracting - procedure

You can use item subcontracting to subcontract an item's entire production process. If you apply item subcontracting, no production order is created.

Step 1. Create subcontracting model or revision

A subcontracting model contains all the data needed to subcontract the selected item. From the Subcontracting Models (tisub1100m000) you can:

  • Generate a new subcontracting model

    The New command in the Subcontracting Models (tisub1100m000) session starts the Subcontracting Model (tisub1600m000) session.

    • Generate a new revision of an existing subcontracting model

      Select a subcontracting model from the list.

      • With the New Revision command, a new subcontracting model with an updated Revision ID based on the old revision number is generated.
      • Specify the new Effective Date, and set the Status to New.

A new subcontracting model, or new revision with the status New, must be validated before use:

  • Select the subcontracting model you want validated.
  • Select the Validate Subcontracting Model command that will open the Validate Subcontracting Model (tisub1200m000) session.
  • Select the subcontracting model(s) and revision(s) for validation.
  • Once the subcontracting model is validated, you can set the status of the previous revision to Expired.
  • Set the status of the current revision to Approved.
Step 2. Maintain Subcontracting Bill of Material

You can maintain the bill of materials for subcontracted items in the Subcontracting Bill of Material (tisub1110m000) session or in the Materials tab of the Subcontracting Model (tisub1600m000) session.

  • Specify a new bill of material

    You must add materials needed by the subcontractor to make the product along with quantities, and scrap percentages for the required material. For each material the Supply System and supplying Warehouse must be specified.

  • Import a bill of material from Job Shop

    You can also import a bill of materials from the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session.

    The Import Bill of Material command starts the Import Bill of Material to Subcontracting Model (tisub1210m000) session.

    Once you have selected the Product, Subcontractor, Ship-from Business Partner and Revision you can import the bill of material with the Import command.

Note

If a Job Shop bill of material (BOM) containing phantoms is imported, the phantom items are exploded and their components are imported as a single level bill of material.
