Release Outside Operation
Explanation
Use this activity to create a purchase requisition for an
outside operation. The status of the operation will not be changed to Released due to this action. This is helpful when you want to release a purchase requisition earlier
than you normally might do so, for e.g., when you release the shop order.
Releasing an outside operation on a shop order creates
a purchase requisition or an order line for the outside operation based on the
outside supply type.
Prerequisites
- A shop order that includes an outside operation must
exist in the Planned status.
- The outside operation must not have been
included in a purchase requisition.
- The outside operation supply type must have been
defined.
System Effects
As a result of this activity,
- the system creates a purchase requisition for the outside
operation. The new purchase requisition number appears in the
Purchase
Requisitions window, as well as in the
Subcontract
tab of the Report Shop Order Operation window and the
Report Work Center Operation window.
- when the shop order is released, a purchase order or a
purchase requisition will be created for the outside operation based on the outside operation supply type.
Example: If the outside operation supply type is Requisition, a purchase
requisition will be created.
If the outside operation supply type is Planned Order, a purchase
order will be created.
If the outside operation supply type is Released Order, a purchase
order will be created and released.
