Subcontractor P.O.

[Kumars]

Hi list,

We are fixing the subcontracor through outside operation of an item in its routing step. This limits me to only one vendor for that operation. How to handle the situation when I have multiple vendors to handle the same operation?
i.e., I will decide the subcontracor, only when I generate the W.O. Is there any way out?

Thanks.

One workaround may be to have a Purchase Requisition generated rather than a
PO.
This would allow purchasing to change any details before creating PO.

No, there is no standard 'way out'. Sadly you have hit a limitation that many others have hit before. You are not alone.

You can try creating Requisitions from the R31410 and then getting them released at OP's against the alternative Vendor. The other way is to split out your Routing OPs between the different vendors so that you get multiple PO's. You can then cancel the ones you don't need. You could also use Date Effectivity to phase Vendors in and out....
