Attached a simplified process description of the scenario to be implemented: Important is: (1) Company controls cost of out-sourced production (2) Company retains title of ownership of raw material @ sub-contractor site
To make this process as automatic as possible, it would be helpful if a PO is created automatically when work order (WO) is released and that WO is closed once that PO was received. Is this possible?
