Subcontracting Order

How to use Subcontracting Order in Subcontracting: access, working steps, fields, related records and troubleshooting.

Purpose and access

Define the subcontracting requirement, required materials and the supplier service. Use the configured subcontracting order, delivery and receipt records to account for material supplied and goods returned.

This page is a record page in Supply Chain → Subcontracting. Use the link above to open the configured destination; permissions are checked by the destination service.

ERP links open in a new tab. Sign in with your own account; record visibility, actions and approval authority follow your assigned permissions. Screens can differ by company and configuration.

Before you start

Prepare the required information: Series, Subcontracting Purchase Order, Job Worker, Job Worker Warehouse, Company, Date, Items.

Confirm the company, party, dates, units and source references that apply. Select existing links carefully and check for an existing record before creating a duplicate.

Working steps

  1. Open Subcontracting Order from Supply Chain → Subcontracting, or use ERP Search.
  2. Filter the list and open the relevant record. To add a record, use Add/New when your role provides that action.
  3. Complete the editable fields described below. Required fields and validation conditions must be satisfied; read-only values are set by the system or their source records.
  4. Add the required child rows. Review each row’s identifiers, linked records and values, using the child-table field reference below.
  5. Save the record and address validation messages. Reload and verify the saved values and relationships.
  6. When the draft is complete and you are authorized, submit it through the available approval process. Submission can create operational or accounting effects. Use the permitted cancellation/amendment process for later corrections.

Field reference

These fields come from the installed ERP definition. Hidden fields and password inputs are omitted. Additional conditions, custom scripts and workflow rules can make a field required or read-only in a particular context.

Troubleshooting

  • Not permitted: verify the account, role and source-document permission. Do not share an administrator login.
  • Missing record or address: inspect the relevant Link or Dynamic Link fields; a matching title alone does not establish a relationship.
  • Cannot save or change status: review required fields, read-only values, document status and the configured approval transition.
  • Unexpected report or portal result: review company/date filters, source-document submission and the approved party or Employee link.
