Subcontracting

/ˈsʌbkənˌtræktɪŋ/

Subcontracting is the practice of outsourcing a specific part of the production process – like painting or assembly – to a third-party vendor. D365 tracks these as specialized services within the production order lifecycle.

How do you configure a subcontracting workflow in D365?

Effective subcontracting allows you to leverage external capacity for highly specialized tasks without the need to invest in your own internal machinery, but it requires that your system can seamlessly track the movement of inventory to the vendor, monitor the vendor’s production progress, and capture the costs of the service as part of your overall production order lifecycle.

If your current subcontracting process is a manual mess of emails and off-system spreadsheets, you are likely losing visibility into your outsourced inventory and struggling with inaccurate production costs. We help you design the subcontracting workflows that integrate your vendors directly into your D365 production plan, ensuring your outsource work is professional, visible, and fully costed.

Maintaining integrated vendor production demands dedicated, proactive technology management. Engaging an experienced technical team under a professional Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management contract guarantees that your subcontracting workflows remain fully performant.
