Outside Party Processing

Hi All,



I have been trying to set up a working procedure within Mapics to address the
issue of outside party processing. I have IM, PDM, PUR & PCC installed and
interfacing. But I have not been successful as yet with the procedure.

Following is a scenario I am trying to test:

Finished Component: OR6205

Has a Routing as follows:

0010   Turning   (Out side Party Operation)

0020   Heat Treatment

0030   Face & OD grinding

0040   Groove Grinding

0050   Honing

0060  Assembly

My company supplies the Raw Material to the Vendor for Turning operation & the
Vendor supplies the turned rings.

OR6205

1      XTO6205  (Tube sent to Supplier)

OR6205 has the following Item attributes:
Item Type:   1

LTCOD:   M

XTO6205 has the following:
Item Type:   4

LTCOD:   P



When I raise a Manufacturing Order for OR6205, I use B/M as REL (i.e. default)
& RTG = 'Y'. Since in the routing I have defined the turning operation as an
Outside operation with Time basis code = 'C' I expect Mapics to generate
Purchase Order or atleast give a recommendation to raise a PO for the Outside
party operation.

I would appreciate all you suggestions/recommendations/explanations as to what
should be done to achieve this.

Thanks &  Regards,
