Offsite processing
After a work order is exploded and is assigned an In Production status, you can optionally send the work order offsite to complete part or all of the production of the finished good. You assign a hold code to the work order that remains until offsite production is complete.
When the vendor completes offsite production, you remove the hold code from the work order. Hold codes are defined in the Accounts Receivable application. For information, see the Accounts Receivable User Guide.
