Setting up Outsourced Manufacturing
Before the Outsourced Manufacturing feature can be enabled, an administrator must enable prerequisite features, if they are not already enabled. After the prerequisite features are enabled, an administrator can then enable Outsource Manufacturing.
To enable Outsourced Manufacturing:
-
Go to Setup > Company > Enable Features (Administrator)
-
Ensure that the following features are enabled:
-
Purchase Orders - Transactions subtab, Basic Features section
-
Advanced Receiving - Transactions subtab, Shipping & Receiving section
-
Multi-Location Inventory - Items & Inventory subtab, Inventory section
-
Assembly Items - Items & Inventory subtab, Inventory section
-
Advanced Bill of Materials - Items & Inventory subtab, Inventory section
-
Work Orders - Items & Inventory subtab, Inventory section
-
-
Click Save.
-
Go back to Setup > Company > Enable Features (Administrator)
-
Click the Items & Inventory subtab.
-
In the Inventory section, check the Outsourced Manufacturing box.
-
Click Save.
Now you can define an outsourcing location for the vendor who will outsource manufacturing for you.
