General details
If you generate a subcontractor order issued from a source document (for example, a production order), its general details are populated automatically from that document. You can edit them if necessary.
To learn about the general details of a subcontractor order issued, see the following table.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Lifecycle status | Status of the order. Set this field to In progress. |
Subcontractor | A company that manufactures products for you. The list of subcontractors is based on the Suppliers catalog. |
Contract | A subcontractor contract that determines the order terms. When you specify a contract, its terms apply to a subcontractor order issued if manual contract management is enabled for the subcontractor (Contract management method is set to Manual in their counterparty card). The field is only available if a subcontractor’s billing details include Contracts. |
Base document | The source document for your subcontractor order. For example, a production order. When a base document is specified, you can click to populate its data to the subcontractor order. This field is populated automatically if you generate the subcontractor order from a source document. This field is blank and not editable if you generate the subcontractor order issued from multiple source documents. *Specify a source document manually if you create the subcontractor order from scratch. |
Order received | The subcontractor order that you received from a customer. Fill in this field if you create the subcontractor order specifically to fulfill another subcontractor order. This ensures traceability of your document chain. |
Date required | The planned due date of the subcontractor order. The current date is filled in automatically, but you can change it manually. |

Warehouse | A warehouse where the finished products shipped by the subcontractor will be stored. The default warehouse is filled in automatically when you create the subcontractor order, but you can change it manually. The list of warehouses is based on the Warehouses catalog. This field is only available if the Multi-warehouse accounting checkbox is selected in Settings > Purchases/Warehouse. |
Reserve for | A document (such as a sales order) that will exclusively use the products manufactured by the subcontractor. The reserved products will be unavailable for dispatching under other documents (such as other sales orders or inventory transfers). This field is only available if the field position is set to In header in the document settings (More actions > Settings). Note. If a subcontractor order issued is generated from multiple documents, you cannot change the position of this field. |
