Overview

This function can be accessed from PO Entry > PO Line > Details button > Subcontract tab, OR can be accessed from the Site Map or Menu. This article reflects this function when accessing from the Site Map or Menu.

When the Subcontract Parent Item is added to a Purchase Order as a PO Line, the Subcontract Parent Item's BOM is extracted upon ‘Save’, creating PO Component Demand records (PODMD). This program allows you to review all of the PO Component Demands for a given PO Line and perform any necessary action or maintenance thereof from here.
