Order Qty. In which case, the processing will calculate the amount of stock currently at or in-transit
to the subcontract warehouse, less the current requirements, to determine if more stock is required
to be sent to the subcontractor or not.
The sales order line for any subcontract WIP material will have its production reserved from the
production order stage prior to the subcontract process stage. Any completions from this stage
should be delivered to the sales transfer order line via either SDTO (Deliver to Sales Order) or
PMCO (Record Completion).
Any free issue ingredient quantity that had been allocated to the subcontract process stage will have
been automatically transferred to the sales order upon selection of the subcontractor. Otherwise the
sales order line should be allocated and selected as per normal sales order processing.
When the sales order is recorded as despatched via PKRD (Record Despatch), the transaction will
generate an in-transit document number for each ingredient via STII (Transfer Stock).
Once notification of material receipt has been received from the subcontractor, the receipt of the
materials at the subcontract warehouse can be recorded via a single transaction STIO (Receive
Transfer Order) instead of multiple STIR (Receive Stock) transactions.
Visibility of materials that are in-transit to the subcontract warehouse can be seen upon STIE (In-
transit Stocks).
Visibility of materials at the subcontract warehouse can be seen by item number upon STLQ (Stock
Location Enquiry).
WSSQ (Subcontract Order Enquiry) can also be used to show details of what free issue ingredients
have been sent to a subcontractor and for what subcontract activities they are required to satisfy.
The transaction will also show the quantity of excess stock that may exist at the subcontract
warehouse.
• Subcontract Purchase Orders
If a subcontractor has an agreement that allows automatic maintenance of purchase orders, then
when the subcontractor has been selected via WSSC (Select a Subcontractor) a Goods Subcontract
purchase order line will be automatically raised and linked to the subcontract process stage.
Otherwise, a Goods Subcontract purchase order line must be manually raised for the subcontract
activity via POAD (Add a Purchase Order Line). The purchase order line may be linked to the
subcontract production order via the 'Auth/Order' field upon this transaction.
If a Goods Subcontract purchase order line has been manually raised to cover a number of
production order stages, then each stage must be manually linked to the purchase order via WSSL
(Link Subcontract Orders).
WSSQ (Subcontract Order Enquiry) can be used to display all production order stages that have
been selected for a specified subcontractor. The display will show if a purchase order line has been
linked or not. This enquiry transaction can also be used to display all outstanding Goods
Subcontract purchase order lines which have been raised for the subcontractor. The display will also
show which production order stages the purchase order line has been raised to cover.
