Subcontract Inbound Receipts
You can create packs when a PO (or supplier scheduled order) line is for a subcontract order. For a subcontract PO line, you create packs for the corresponding discrete WO. You can use Pack Create by Production Line to create packs for the corresponding cumulative order.
You can use Pending PO Shipper Unload to unload end items when the subcontract operation is the last operation of a repetitive schedule.
When the subcontract operation is for a discrete work order, regardless of whether it is the last operation, the system treats the order as a WIP item. You are required to use Pack Receipt by WO to build the pack structure.
The following table denotes the program to use or not use, subcontract scenarios, and processing that occurs for each program for the scenario.

Subcontract PO Line Processing
 
Program
Processing Information
Pack Create by PO/Shipper (5.13.12.3)
Important: You cannot create packs with this function.
Work Order Serial Booking (16.15.1)
You can use this program to create packs for subcontract PO (or supplier scheduled order) lines.
Pack Create by WO (16.15.2)
Use this program to create packs for the corresponding discrete WO.
Pack Create by Production Line (18.22.7.1)
Use this program to create packs for the corresponding cumulative order.
Pending PO Shipper Unload (5.13.12.13)
Use this program when the PO (or supplier scheduled order) line is subcontract as it supports unloading end items. When the subcontract operation is the last operation of a repetitive schedule, the item can be unloaded with this function.
You cannot enter a subcontract PO line when:
• The operation is not the last operation.
• The PO line is linked with a discrete WO.
When the subcontract operation is the last operation of a repetitive schedule:
• The system generates serial IDs for the pack or item based on the corresponding cumulative work order when you leave any pack or item serial ID blank.
• The system validates serial IDs based on the cumulative order and copied from ASNs.
Pack Receipt by WO (16.15.3)
Use this program to build a pack when the subcontract operation is for a discrete work order and the last operation. The system treats the item as a WIP item and builds the pack.
PO Shipper Receipt (5.13.20)
The system does not apply Serialization functionality when the PO line is subcontract and:
• The operation is not the last operation.
• The PO line is linked with a discrete WO.
Purchase Order Receipts (5.13.1)
The system does not apply Serialization functionality when the PO line is subcontract and:
• The operation is not the last operation.
• The PO line is linked with a discrete WO.
When the subcontract operation is the last operation of a repetitive schedule and you:
• Leave any pack or item serial ID blank, the system generates serial IDs based on the corresponding cumulative work order but not the PO line.
• Enter a pack or item serial ID, the system validates serial IDs based on the corresponding cumulative work order.
