Entering Outside Operations

Access the Enter Process Information form.

Supplier

Enter the address book number of the preferred provider of this item.

Cost Type

Enter a code that designates each element of cost for an item. Examples of the cost object types are:

A1: Purchased raw material.

B1: Direct labor routing roll-up.

B2: Setup labor routing roll-up.

C1: Variable burden routing roll-up.

C2: Fixed burden routing roll-up.

Dx: Outside operation routing roll-up.

Xx: Extra add-ons, such as electricity and water.

The optional add-on computations usually operate with the type Xx extra add-ons. This cost structure enables you to use an unlimited number of cost components to calculate alternative cost roll-ups. The system then associates these cost components with one of six user-defined summary cost buckets.

For outside operations, the value that you enter indicates the cost component with which to associate costs. You should not enter the same cost component for more than one operation. If you do, the cost component includes the total cost of all operations. When the material is received from one operation, the system calculates the cost of the operation using the total cost of all operations.

PO (Y/N) (purchase order (yes/no))

Enter a value to determine if the Work Order Generation program (P31410) creates a purchase order for a subcontracted operation within a routing. Values are:
