Documented features match
- Set up and explore subcontracting more easily - medium confidence (override). Docs say: General availability, roadmap id 573353. Re-check of 2026-10-02 against the full what's new text (the matching step only saw the first 220 characters): "You can also create subcontracting orders and adjust WIP from supported released production order pages."
- Product documentation: Order subcontracting, checked 2026-10-02. Directly from a production order routing, when you want to order a specific operation right away. ... Choose the Create Subcontracting Order action. Note: Subcontracting app shipped in 2026 release wave 1 (GA 2026-07-08); article documents the app, not specifically wave 2. Worksheet remains for batch creation.
Docs checked on 2026-10-02: the match is against Microsoft's what's new pages for the wave as they were on that date. Microsoft keeps filling the documentation, so "no documented item" can go stale.
