The Subcontracting Worksheet operates like the Planning Worksheet and the Requisition Worksheet: it quickly calculates information and allows you to review it. Once you have approved the information, the relevant document, in this case a purchase order, is created. Note that only production orders with a status of released can be accessed and used from a subcontracting worksheet.
Open the 
Subcontracting
Worksheet window.
To calculate the worksheet, click Functions, Calculate Subcontracts. The report
selection screen has three 
tabs.
Click OK.
Review the lines on the Subcontracting Worksheet. The information in this worksheet comes from the production order and production order routing lines and flows to the purchase order when that document is created. For Help about a specific field, click the field and press F1. As with the other worksheets, you can delete a row from the worksheet without affecting the original information. The information will reappear the next time the Calculate Subcontracts function is run.
If all subcontracting operations are to be sent to the same vendor location, only one purchase order is created. If multiple vendors are named, multiple purchase orders are created.
To generate the purchase order(s), click Functions, Carry Out Action Messages.
On the Options tab you can place a check mark in the Print Orders field to print the purchase order as it is created.
Click OK.
The line(s) turned into a purchase order is deleted from the worksheet. Once a purchase order is created, the information does not appear again, thus preventing the accidental creation of multiple purchase orders for the same process.
