I am having some difficulty setting up subcontracting. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but when I create the purchase order for the subcontract item and confirm the purchase order, only the receipt button appears. Here's my list of things I've confirmed:

  1. Inventory Settings - Storage Locations and Multi-Step routes are both enabled
  2. Manufacturing Settings - Subcontracting is enabled
  3. Product to be purchased from subcontractor - Vendor has been set; routes are set as Buy and Replenish on Order (MTO); Bill of Materials has been created with a BoM type of Subcontracting and Subcontractors has been set to the appropriate vendor; components have been added to the BoM
  4. Components on the BoM - Vendor has been set; route is set as Resupply Subcontractor on Order

I'm not sure what else to check that could be causing the issue. There is no inventory on hand for the product or its components. I do not currently have replenishment rules set either for the product or its components. Any suggestions for things to check are appreciated.

Ray,
Yes, I have read the documentation on it, and I have done all those steps and it's still not appearing when I place a purchase order. Just wondering if there's anything else that can affect it as I have been over the setup from the documentation multiple times and everything on that end appears to be configured correctly. Wondering if there are any routes or rules settings that maybe I had touched by mistake that could affect it from appearing. I've tried comparing them to what's in the online Odoo demo, and it looks like they match, but it's possible I missed something.

Thanks.

Kevin

Couple of configurations I would check..

1.Is the vendor identified as a subcontract vendor for the product?

2. Does the receipt created from the PO have the option to record component consumption? This differentiates a PO from being a Buy to a subcontract

Thanks for validating. I would look to validate the dependencies that trigger the receipt operation for a subcontracted product
1. Product BoM - are there multiple BoM's for this product or only the subcontract one? At the least 1 component
2. On the product Buy route is enabled?
3. Are the PO's manually created or triggered by MTO/ replenishment rule? You might want to create manual PO to test and then enable the automation

  1. Yes, the vendor is identified on the product page: 

2. No, the receipt does not have that option:
