What are subcontractors?
Subcontractors perform outside services such as painting, plating, and heat-treating that are performed during the course of jobs.
Each subcontract routing sequence is assigned to a subcontractor
A subcontract routing sequence is used when a process is performed on the outside instead of in-house within the shop. Each subcontract routing sequence is assigned to the subcontractor who performs the outside service.
Set up a subcontractor for each of your outside service suppliers
Set up a subcontractor for each of your outside service suppliers in the Subcontractors screen.
Standard Processes
Standard processes for commonly performed subcontract services can be entered in the Processes tab in the Subcontractors screen. See the chapter Standard Processes for details.
