Manual Set-Up Procedures
The QSMG transaction is used to enable the use of the new facilities.
4.2.10 Production Scheduling (PMPL)
4.2.10.1 Subcontract Control (SR2707)
The existing subcontract control facilities within TROPOS have been extended to provide a greater
degree of control over the management and costing of subcontract activities.
The Resources, Products and Processes Module (RPPM) will allow the definition of a process stage
as a subcontract activity, and allow definition of preferred and multiple alternative subcontractors
with an estimated cost rate and a standard lead-time for each.
Once a Production Order has been raised for such a product and process, the required subcontractor
may be selected or confirmed for a subcontract or normal internal activity. The selection process
will automatically generate a sales transfer order for the despatch of any WIP material and free
issue ingredients that are required to be sent to a subcontractor.
A Goods Subcontract purchase order can be either automatically or manually raised for the receipt
of the returned subcontract materials. Once the materials have been received back from the
subcontractor there is an inspection mechanism which allows the goods to be inspected, and then
released to the relevant production order process stage for completion of production.
The following facilities are available to control the production planning and receipt of a subcontract
activity.
