By | December 26, 2023

Subcontracting process, raw materials are provided to subcontracting supplier/customer. It’s being processed by subcontracting supplier/customer, convert it to semi-finish material and deliver back.

To solve the error ‘supplement not assigned’, there are main point which are linked with it.

Work Order.

Purchase Order.

Sales Delivery.

PO’s Purchase Receipt.

Let’s describe each points shortly.

Work Order: A Work order is an order to make one or more products. Conventionally, the work order uses a bill of materials (BOM) to create a list of materials to be issued, and a routing to make a list of operations to be performed on work centres.

Delivery: In subcontract process, when the delivery is validated the stock is moved to the subcontract location assigned to the customer.  This happens automatically when setup properly.
