Generating the operation subcontractors list

After the subcontractors, subcontractor locations, and the subcontractors by site data have been generated, you can generate the operation subcontractors list. The operation subcontractors list is generated in the Generate Operation Subcontractors List (tisub2200m900) session.

You can maintain the generated operation subcontractors list data in the Operation Subcontractors List (tisub2100m000) session.

The information in the Operation Subcontractors List (tisub2100m000) session is generated from this data:

  • The production site in the Production Site field is retrieved from the site of production orders or job shop routings.
  • The reference operation in the Reference Operation field is taken from production order operations, job shop routings, or generic routings.
  • The subcontractor in the Subcontractor field is taken from subcontracting work centers.
  • The subcontractor site in the Subcontractor Site field is taken from the site of subcontracting work centers.
  • The effective and expiry dates in the Effective Date and Expiry Date fields are taken from routing operation start and end dates. If a subcontractor is generated from routing A, and routing B has the same subcontractor but with an earlier effective date or a later expiry date, the date range for the subcontractor is extended to cover the effective periods for both routings.
  • The warehouse in the Warehouse field is taken from the work centers. If no warehouse is linked to a work center, the first warehouse that is linked to the subcontractor site is taken, but only if the subcontractor site is external. If the subcontractor site is not external, the warehouse is not linked.
  • The capacity by week in the Capacity / Week field is taken from the calendar of the work center.
  • The Use for Planning check box is selected for the first subcontractor that is created for a combination of site and reference operation. For subsequent combinations, this check box is cleared.
  • The Available for Planningcheck box is selected.
  • The Use for Costing check box is selected in the same way as the Use for Planning check box.

Using the Generate Operation Subcontractors List (tisub2200m900) session

The selection ranges in this session are used to specify the data ranges for which subcontractors, subcontractor locations, and subcontractors by site are to be generated:

  • The Subcontractor range is used to specify a range of subcontractors from the Subcontractors (tisub0120m000) session. These are the subcontractors that have been generated when performing activation activity Generate Subcontractors.
  • The Subcontractor Site range is used to specify a range of sites linked to work centers.
  • The Production Siterange is used to specify a range of sites linked to routings.

The Routing Revision Status range fields are used to specify the revision status range of the routings and the model revisions for which to generate operation subcontractors.

The Skip Generic Routing before field is used to narrow down the selection of generic routes. Generic routes expired before the date specified in this field are excluded.

Job shop routings that are linked to customized items whose projects are closed are not used to create data in the Subcontractors by Site (tisub0130m000) session.

Closed production order operations are not used to create operation subcontractors.

Generating reference operations

If required, reference operations are generated in this session. This is required if a reference operation refers to a specific work center, because the reference operations that are used in the Operation Subcontractors List (tisub2100m000) session are related to global reference operations or specific sites.

A reference operation for a subcontracting operation can be defined at these levels:

  • Globally for all sites
  • For a specific site
  • For a specific work center

A reference operation for the operation subcontractor list can be defined at these levels:

  • Globally for all sites
  • For a specific site

When a subcontractor operation for an order or a routing refers to a reference operation that is defined for a specific work center, a new reference operation is generated. This is done by copying the data of the reference operation of the work center to the new reference operation related to the site. In this way, the new reference operation is available for new operation subcontractors that you may need to create.
