Raise Orders

Purchase Orders for subcontract operations on a Works Order can also be managed from within the Works Order itself.

Raising orders for a subcontract operation creates a linked order in Purchase Order Processing, which can then be authorised, printed and received like other Purchase Orders.

From the Subcontracting tab, orders can be raised, work in progress and free-issue materials despatched, and completed work received back in.

Once Purchase Orders have been raised they are listed in the Subcontracting tab, making it easy to track their progress.
