Grid Fields
Subcontractor ID
A subcontractor is considered a “work center” when entering BOM routing sequences because the subcontractor’s factory functions as an outside work center. Treating each subcontractor as a work center enables you to issue materials and track work in process the same way you would with an inside work center. Enter an up to 12-character code that identifies the subcontract work center on screens, lookups, and reports.
Description
Enter an up to 50-character description to accompany the subcontract work center on lookups.
Supplier
Select the supplier associated with this subcontract work center.
Trading Name
The supplier’s trading name, which is the name that prints on forms such as purchase orders and checks, is displayed for reference.
Active
Clear this checkbox to inactivate the subcontract work center, which removes it from lookups.
NOTE: You are not permitted to clear this checkbox when the subcontract work center is assigned to a routing sequence associated with a current or pending BOM revision.
