Subcontract Operation

A subcontract operation is an operation performed by external resources. In this case, an external resource is denoted by a work center having resource type 2.

Description

Subcontract operations which are not performed by internal resources (work centers) are specified in a routing. These operations are indicated as service processes for each item and supplier, to be used during purchasing. When a manufacturing order is created, the subcontract operation or service process can be automatically specified as a planned order for purchase. It can then be purchased in the same way as for normal items.
