If I'm not mistaken, it is possible in v7 to generate a subcontracting PO based on a manufacturing order with following settings:
- Product settings (subcontracting service product)
- product type: Service
- procurement method: Make to Order
- supply method: Buy
- set supplier
- BOM settings
- include the subcontracting service product in the BOM of a finished product together with other component products
- Create MO (and run scheduler as necessary)
In v8, however, it appears such kind of configuration is no longer possible (you cannot select routes for a service product). I would like to know if above design has really been deprecated in V8 and if there is another way to achieve the same.
