Microsoft Dynamics NAV having mainly 2 types of Subcontracting Orders handling

Subcontracting Order given to the out side company

In this type of subcontracting, we provide either partial or full materials to an outside company, and they carry out specific tasks for us, ultimately delivering the finished product. This represents a crucial form of subcontracting, and the procedure unfolds as follows.

a) Create a Subcontractor Location

Create a Subcontracting Location from the Location Card

Warehouse->Setup->Locations. Fill the details as per normal Location creation procedure only difference is that you have to go to the Tax Information Tab there you select the Subcontracting Location as shown in the picture.

Create the subcontractor as vendor as normal procedure. After that you have to attach the vendor to Subcontracting Location from the Tax Information Tab in the Vendor card. Where you have to select subcontractor, subcontracting location that we created just now and Commisioners Permission details. For more information see the the picture.

This is the one of the most important area where specifying the work center area. Better you create one work center for one Subcontractor. For that go to the Work center Card from

Manufacturing –> Capacities-> Work Centers.

In that press F3 to create a new work center and enter the information based upon your need only difference is that in the Posting Tab you have to select the Subcontractor No.

Other company given Subcontracting to Us

In this case Subcontractor giving partial or full Raw materials free of cost to us and we process some task based upon that and produce some product. Finally we sell that product to the Subcontractor with less Consignment Material.Consignment Material is that material given by the Subcontractor free of cost.

The process is as follows

1. Create a Vendor Card for Subcontractor
2. Create Non-Stock Item as Materials Supplied by the Subcontractor.
3. Inward the material using Purchase Order and Warehouse Receipt.
4. Produce the product by normal procedure.
5. In the sales order you have to specify one more extra line as G/L account consignment as -ve entry.
