Subcontracting details fact box on routing
Subcontracting details fact box on routing
A fact box on production order routing shows whether a line is subcontracted, connected components and the WIP quantity at the subcontractor. It drills down to WIP ledger entries and links purchase, transfer and production orders.
Area: Supply chain. Status: GA. Developer relevance: low. Airtime: 2 min across 1 video, demoed.
Status evidence
- Nothing said about status; launch event convention: generally available unless stated otherwise.
Where they talk about it
- What's new in SCM: Subcontracting: 7:38 to 16:42, demo at 7:38 (called "Subcontracting fact box on routing" and "Subcontracting details fact box with WIP quantity" there)
Quotes
- 8:26 "It's still possible today if I'm doing the bulk operations and there are extra capabilities there" - Confirms the Subcontracting worksheet still exists next to the per-order action.
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): "From routing lines and production order pages, review subcontracting comments, prices, work-in-process entries, related purchase documents, transfer orders and entries, return transfers, and linked components."
- Product documentation: Set up and process a subcontracting operation, checked 2026-10-02. The Subcontracting Routing Details FactBox shows the status of the subcontracting work for the selected routing line. It shows purchase order quantities, transfer order quantities, and quantities received. Note: Subcontracting app shipped in 2026 release wave 1 (GA 2026-07-08); article documents the app, not specifically wave 2. Walkthrough with demo data; WIP quantity fields on routing line also in subcontract-wip-transfers.
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.
