Managing Subcontracting
Use Advanced Repetitive with other programs to manage subcontract operations.
• You can use supplier-scheduled orders to support repetitive purchasing of subcontract services.
• You can use subcontract shippers to create shipment paperwork and register the physical shipment of materials to the subcontractor.
• You can receive an advance ship notice (ASN) in electronic data interchange (EDI) format using EDI eCommerce to register the receipt of processed materials.
All of the processing that occurs prior to the subcontract operation uses standard Advanced Repetitive functions. The last operation reported just prior to the subcontract operation (milestone or non‑milestone) must have Move Next Op set to No. This leaves the WIP in that operation’s output queue. Items are then ready to be processed through the subcontract operation.
