DBA Key Concepts
Subcontracting is handled in DBA via BOM routings.. Subcontractors can be thought of as a work center that happens to be off site.
▪Subcontractors are set up as special work centers in BOM > Subcontractors screen
▪Subcontract processes can be set up for the various services this subcontractor provides
▪Add a subcontractor process to a BOM Routing and define the per unit cost for the subcontract services
▪Materials that you send to your subcontractors are set up as BOM components and assigned to your Subcontractor Work Center routing sequence
▪Issue Materials to the Job when you create your Subcontractor POs in the Jobs > Job Subcontracting screen. The job dispatch list can be used as supporting document along with your PO when sending your materials out for work.
▪Receipt PO when the subcontract work is completed and materials are returned. The subcontractor routing sequence will be closed and the subcontracting value will be added the work in progress of the Job.
