Operation subcontracting with material flow support

For an item with one or more subcontracted operations, you need a production order. Create a production order manually in Gestione produzione per reparti, or create a planned production order in Pianificazione aziendale, and transfer it to Gestione produzione per reparti.

For planned production orders in Pianificazione aziendale, you can view the production order operations in the Utilizzo capacità per Ordine pianificato (cprrp2100m000) session. If applicable, information about subassemblies is indicated on the operation line.

Use the Stampa previsione conto lavoro (cprrp2402m000) session to print a list of all subassemblies that are planned to be received from the subcontractor.

Release the production order in Gestione produzione per reparti.

In the Ordine di produzione (tisfc0101m100) session, on the Materiali stimati (ticst0101m000) tab, click Mostra assemblato intermedio to view the subassemblies included in the estimated materials:

• For the subassembly that is sent to the subcontractor, a negative quantity is displayed for the operation that precedes the subcontracting operation. A positive quantity is displayed for the subcontracted operation.

• For the subassembly that is received back from the subcontractor, a negative quantity is displayed for the subcontracted operation. A positive quantity is displayed for the operation that follows the subcontracted operation.

  If the subassembly that is received back from the subcontractor is the end item, it will be received in a warehouse specified on the purchase order for this item. Material lines without warehouse orders are generated for the warehouse to denote the subassembly was physically received while administratively the end item is registered on the purchase order.

  If the subassembly received from a subcontractor is the end item, proceed to step 9.

A subcontracting purchase order is required to administrate the subcontracting process.

From the Ordini di produzione (tisfc0501m000) session, start the Generazione documenti di acquisto conto lavoro (tisfc2250m000) session to generate a purchase order. If the L'operazione precedente deve essere completata check box in this session is selected, you must first complete the operations that precede the subcontracted operation before you can generate a purchase order.

In the Generazione documenti di acquisto conto lavoro (tisfc2250m000) session, enter a purchase order type. The activities linked to the purchase order type determine the handling of the subcontracting purchase order. For example, you can choose to insert the Generazione ordini fornitura per conto lavoro (tdpur4216m000) session, and select the Automatico check box, so that supply orders are automatically generated.

View the generated purchase order in the Ordine di acquisto (tdpur4100m900) session. The order line displays the subassembly that you will receive from the subcontractor after subcontracting.

After a subcontracting purchase order is generated, you can view the supply lines, in the Ordine di acquisto (tdpur4100m900) session or the Righe fornitura materiali ordine di acquisto (tdpur4116m000) session. Supply lines represent the materials and subassembly that must be shipped to the subcontractor

Supply orders are used to ship the subassembly and material from their warehouses at the manufacturer's location to the administrative warehouse. If supply orders are not created automatically (refer to step 3), run the Generazione ordini fornitura per conto lavoro (tdpur4216m000) session. Note that the subassembly's supply system, defined in the Dati articolo per Magazzino (whwmd2510m000) session, must be Controllato da ordine/Unico.

In the Ordine di acquisto (tdpur4100m900) session, click Approva to approve the subcontracting purchase order. For more information, refer to Purchase order approval.

In the Riporta operazioni come completate (tisfc0130m000) session, complete the operations preceding the subcontracted operations. If you defined a shop floor warehouse, the subassembly is automatically received in the shop floor warehouse. Without shop floor warehouse, the subassembly is received in the warehouse defined in the Articolo - Ordinazione (tcibd2100m000) session.

In the Materiale da prelevare per ordini di produzione (ticst0101m100) session, you can check whether the subassembly is issued. In the Scorte per Specifiche (whwmd2519m000) session, you can check in which warehouse the subassembly is received.

To ship the subassembly from the job shop or the shop floor warehouse to the subassembly warehouse, carry out the transfer order.

1. In the Materiale da prelevare per ordini di produzione (ticst0101m100) session, select the subassembly that must be sent to the subassembly warehouse. This material line has a negative quantity. In the appropriate menu, click Ordini di magazzino per produzione to start the Ordini di magazzino per produzione (timfc0101m000) session.
2. Select the transfer order with transaction type Prelievo, and click Ordine di magazzino - Panoramica stato.
3. In the Panoramica stato riga ordine di uscita (whinh2129m000) session, carry out the defined activities for the outbound-order line.

The manufacturer must send subassemblies and material to the subcontractor. In LN, the subassemblies and material are sent to the administrative warehouse using an outbound procedure. To do so, you must handle the subassembly's and material's supply orders.

1. In the Ordine di acquisto (tdpur4100m900) session or the Righe fornitura materiali ordine di acquisto (tdpur4116m000) session, select the subassembly and material and click Ordine forn..
2. In the Ordine di magazzino (whinh2100m100) session, generate an advice.
3. If the orders were not already handled automatically, in the Ordine di magazzino (whinh2100m100) session, select the outbound line and click Panoramica stato.
4. In the Panoramica stato riga ordine di uscita (whinh2129m000) session, carry out the defined activities such as generating and releasing the outbound advice and confirming the shipment.

In some cases, material for subcontracting activities is directly sent by the supplier to the subcontractor. In that case, complete the following steps:

1. In the Ordine di acquisto (tdpur4100m900) session or the Righe fornitura materiali ordine di acquisto (tdpur4116m000) session, select the subassembly and material and click Ordine forn.. A new supply order is generated.
2. Select the newly generate order line, and click Approva.

After subcontracting, the subcontractor sends back the subassemblies. To receive the subassemblies into the subassembly warehouse, you must handle the purchase order. Note that the name of the subassembly sent back by the subcontractor differs from the name of the subassembly you sent to the subcontractor.

Complete the following steps:

1. In the Ordine di acquisto (tdpur4100m900) session, select the purchase order line of the subassembly sent back by the subcontractor, and on the appropriate menu, click Stato riga ordine di acquisto.
2. From the Stato riga ordine di acquisto (tdpur4534m000) session, handle the purchase order according to the defined purchase order procedure. For more information about purchase order handling, refer to Flexible purchase order processing and Overview of purchase order handling.

Note: that when the purchase order is received, LN automatically reports the subcontracted operations as completed. If applicable, the subassembly and the material that you sent with the subassembly are backflushed.

You may work further on the subassemblies that you received from the subcontractor. Therefore, you must issue the subassemblies to the job shop. In the Materiale da prelevare per ordini di produzione (ticst0101m100) session, select the subassembly that was sent to you by the subcontractor, which is the subassembly that has a positive quantity. Issue the subassembly to the job shop.

If you use a shop floor warehouse, you must complete a transfer order to ship the subassemblies from the subassembly warehouse to the shop floor warehouse.

1. In the Materiale da prelevare per ordini di produzione (ticst0101m100) session, select the subassembly that was sent to you by the subcontractor, which is the subassembly that has a positive quantity in the Da prelevare field.
2. In the appropriate menu, click Ordini di magazzino per produzione to start the Ordini di magazzino per produzione (timfc0101m000) session.
3. Select the subassembly's transfer order with transaction type Prelievo, and click Ordine di magazzino - Panoramica stato.
4. In the Panoramica stato riga ordine di uscita (whinh2129m000) session, carry out the defined activities.

You can check in the Scorte per Specifiche (whwmd2519m000) session whether the subassembly is allocated inventory in the shop floor warehouse.

In the Riporta operazioni come completate (tisfc0130m000) session, process the remaining operations and report them as completed. You can post the end items immediately to inventory.

Report the production order as completed in the Riporta ordini come completati (tisfc0520m000) details session.

Close the production order in the Chiusura ordini di produzione (ticst0201m000) session.
