The order status of the operations that you select must be Released or Active. Related topics Overview of subcontracting Operation subcontracting without material flow support Shared work centers Selection Range Subcontractor The buy-from business partner from which you purchase the subcontracted service. Project An endeavour with a special objective to be met within the prescribed time and money limitations and that has been assigned for definition or execution. Production Order The production order of which one or more operations are subcontracted. The order status must be Released or Active. Operation The subcontracted operation. Start Date The date the operation is planned to start. Options Previous Operation Must be Completed If this check box is selected, the previous operation must be completed before the subcontracting order is generated for the current operation. Combine Operations when no Material Flow If this check box is selected, and you apply subcontracting with no material flow, LN combines multiple consecutive subcontracting operations for the same subcontractor to a single purchase order line. If this check box is cleared, LN generates a separate purchase order line for each operation. If LN combines successive operations, LN uses the item for the last operation as the purchase order line's item. The combined purchase order line will only reflect the subcontracted operations within the selection range you entered.

Important! If you use subcontracting with material flow support, successive subcontracted operations for the same subcontractor result in a single purchase order line. In that situation, if this check box is selected and any of the operations is blocked, LN also does not generate a purchase order line for the other operations for the same subcontractor. Check Business Partner Status If this check box is selected, LN checks the status of the business partner on the date in the Status Check Date field. Status Check Date The date for which LN checks the status of the business partner. If you want to use this function, you must select the Check Business Partner Status check box.
