Review the lines in the Subcontracting Worksheet window. The information in this worksheet comes from the production order and production order routing lines and flows to the purchase order when that document is created. You can delete a row from the worksheet without affecting the original information, just as you can with the other worksheets. The information will reappear the next time you run the Calculate Subcontracts function.
To create the subcontract purchase order

On the Actions tab, in the Process group, choose Carry Out Action Message.
Select the Print Orders field to print the purchase order as it is created.
Choose the OK button.
If all subcontraced operations are sent to the same vendor location, then only one purchase order is created.
The worksheet line that was turned into a purchase order is deleted from the worksheet. Once a purchase order is created, it will not appear in the worksheet again.
