Use this tab for handling outside or subcontractor operations. You can view operations for a shop order which will be completed outside the company (i.e., defined with an outside work center) and you can start their processing. You can also release the subcontractor operation before the rest of the shop order. The shipment and receipt of outside operations is closely connected to IFS/Purchasing, where purchase orders are created for the subcontracted operations and receipt of the material is reported.
Note: When IFS/Purchasing is installed, the Subcontract tab appears last in the Report Shop Order Operation window. If IFS/Purchasing is not installed, this tab is not visible in the Report Shop Order Operation window.
