Subcontract Operations (tisfc2210m000)

Use this session to subcontract operations that were not planned to subcontract when the routing was defined. Select a range of operations that you want to subcontract, and assign the operations to a specific subcontracting work center.

Field Information

Order
Production Site

The site ID.

Note: Only visible if multisite functionality is active.

Production Order

The production order for which you want to subcontract some or all operations.

Order Status

The order status of the production order.

Allowed values

Created

The initial status of a production order. All production order data can still be changed. Materials are not issued yet. Materials can be added or removed, and quantities can be changed.

Modify

The production order may be modified in the same way as with the Created status. If the Version Control check box is selected, this status is assigned to a newly created version of a production order. It is possible to adjust estimates for this production order. The already registered actuals are saved with the new version number on the production order.

Note: You must print the production order documents and release the production order once you have made the necessary changes. Once the new production order is printed, or released the estimated costs are frozen again.
Scheduled

The production order receives this status after being scheduled in Infor SCM Scheduler . This status is only applicable if Infor SCM Scheduler is Active.

Printed

The documents for the production order were printed. If the Printing Production Order Documents Mandatory check box is selected in the Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session, the production order cannot be released before the order documents are printed. The Printing Production Order Documents Mandatory check box is not valid for repetitive items, because printing order documents is never mandatory for repetitive items. For a description of the types of order documents, see Contents of order documents.

Note: Once the production order documents are printed, estimates for the order can no longer be adjusted.
Released

If a production order is released for production, materials are issued to the job shop for production, and hours can be posted. You can still perform the following:

  • Adjust planning data
  • Change the estimated materials and estimated operation costs as long as the cost estimates are not frozen.

Production orders can be released in the Release Production Orders (tisfc0204m000) session.

Active

Work on the production order has started. The order status becomes Active when any WIP transaction takes place for the production order. If the production order status is Active, hours are posted and materials are issued. The estimated costs cannot be changed .

Production Completed

The order is reported as completed. When Warehousing finishes the inbound procedure for produced items that must be delivered into inventory, the production receives the Completed status.

Completed

The order is reported as completed and all completed products were delivered into inventory. You can still account hours and issue materials for the production order. You can report an order as completed in these sessions:

  • Report Orders Completed (tisfc0520m000)

    Use this session to report one or more orders, partly or entirely, as completed.
  • Report Operations Completed (tisfc0130m000)

    Use this session to report the final operation of an order as completed.
  • Report Operations Complete by Order Group (tisfc0205m000)

    Use this session to report orders as completed by order group.
  • Report Production Schedules Completed (tirpt1201m000) and Report Production Orders Completed from Production Schedule (tirpt1502m000)

    Use these sessions to report production orders in production schedules as complete for RPT items.
Closed

The financial results of the production order have been calculated. Before a production order is closed, all materials for the order must have been issued and all hours must have been accounted. Purchase orders for subcontracted operations must have been processed. After an order has been closed, materials can no longer be issued nor can hours be accounted unless the order status is reset. You can close production orders with the Close Production Orders (ticst0201m000) session.

Archived

The production order data was moved to the archive. For more information, refer to Archiving production orders.

Item

The item produced by the production order.

Order Quantity

The order quantity to be produced. The estimates of materials and hours are based on this quantity.

Selection Range
Operation

The range of operations that you want to subcontract.

LN assigns the operations to the work center and the subcontractor that you specify and update their planned dates.

Subcontracting
Work Center

The work center where the subcontracted operations are performed.

The work center must be of the Subcontracting Work Center type, and must be linked to the selected buy-from business partner.

Note: A sub work center is a subdivision of a main work center, not a subcontracting work center.
Subcontractor

subcontractor

The subcontractors are defined in the Operation Subcontractors List (tisub2100m000) session.

Subcontractor Site

The site where the subcontracted production takes place.

Machine

The machine on which the subcontracted operation(s) will be performed.

If you enter a machine in this field, the subcontracted operation(s) will be performed on that machine. The Machine Occupation field in the Production Planning (tisfc0110m000) details session automatically gets the value 1.

If you do not enter a machine in this field, no machine is used for the subcontracted operation(s). The Machine Occupation field in the Production Planning (tisfc0110m000) details session gets the value 0 (zero). The Machine field in the Production Planning (tisfc0110m000) details session is emptied.

In this session you can enter a range of operations that you want to subcontract. However, an operation can already be a planned subcontracted operation if it is linked to a subcontracted work center in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) details session. Also a subcontracted machine can already be defined. The operations in the range that are already subcontracted will not have their machine(s) replaced by the machine entered in this field if the following is true:

  • The work center of the subcontracted operation equals the work center that you enter in this session's Work Center field.

If the work center of an already subcontracted operation differs from the work center that you enter in this session's Work Center field, the machine entered in this field will replace an already existing subcontracted machine.

Subcontracting Rate Factor

The value that is used to estimate the subcontracting costs by the Operation Rate method.

In this method, the estimated subcontracting costs are calculated by multiplying the gross output quantity, the subcontracting rate factor and the subcontracting rate.

If you use another calculation method, this field is not used.

You can start the Subcontracting Rates (ticpr1160m000) session by clicking the button.

Subcontracting with Material Flow

If this check box is selected, LN supports the physical and administrative flow of material and subassemblies to the subcontractor.
