Overview
Subcontracting Request Approvals lets a business have a subcontracting request reviewed and signed off before the production is split and the purchase order is created. The planner submits the request from its own form, the approver reviews it on an approval request, and marking the approval as done applies the subcontracting request.
The process runs in three stages:
- Submit - the planner chooses Get Approved on the subcontracting request and submits the approval request that is created.
- Review - the approver opens the approval request, checks it and approves or refuses it.
- Apply - when the approved request is marked as done, the subcontracting request is applied.
| Role | What they do | Access right to assign |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing planner | Prepares the subcontracting request, submits it for approval and follows the approval. | Manufacturing: User |
| Manufacturing manager | Applies a subcontracting request by hand when needed. | Manufacturing: Administrator |
| Approver | Reviews the approval request and approves or refuses it. | Approval: Team Approver or Officer |
| Approval administrator | Maintains the Subcontracting Request approval type and approves when no manager can. | Approval: Administrator |
Setup (for the Administrator)
Installation
- Open Apps, search for MRP Subcontracting Request - Approval and click Install. The Manufacturing subcontracting request and Approval apps are installed with it.
- An approval type named Subcontracting Request is created for each company. Open Approval ‣ Configuration ‣ Approval Types to review it. The request goes first to the manager of the employee who submits it, and an approval request must list at least one subcontracting request before it can be submitted.
Assigning access rights
- Open Settings ‣ Users & Companies ‣ Users and select a user.
- Give planners the User right of Manufacturing, and approvers the Team Approver or Officer right of Approval.
- Give everyone who marks an approval request as done the Administrator right of Manufacturing as well: the subcontracting request is applied on behalf of the person who marks the approval as done, so that person must be allowed to apply it.
Manufacturing planner: submit a subcontracting request for approval
Request approval
Open Manufacturing ‣ Operations ‣ Subcontracting Requests and select a request.
Click the gear icon next to the request reference and choose Get Approved.
In the Submit for Approval window, keep the Subcontracting Request type and click Create Approval Request.
The approval request opens in Draft. It lists the subcontracting request with its product, label, responsible user, quantity, bill of materials and manufacturing order. The View Subcontracting Request button returns to the request.
Submit the approval
Check the subcontracting request on the approval request and the approvers on the Approvers tab.
Click Submit. The approval moves to To Approve and the approvers can act on it.
An approval request with no subcontracting request on it is refused at submission: add a request on the Subcontracting Requests tab first.
The approval goes first to the manager of the employee. When that manager is not a Team Approver, the approval shows a warning and an approval administrator approves instead.
Follow the outcome
The status bar of the subcontracting request shows the state of its approval, and the Approval request button opens the approvals of the request. Every decision is recorded on the approval request.
Approver: review and decide
Open Approval ‣ Approval Request ‣ Request and select the approval in To Approve.
Review the subcontracting request on it.
Click Approve to sign off, or Refuse to reject it.
When the last required approval is given, the approval moves to Approved and the subcontracting request shows the Fully Approved ribbon. The subcontracting request is not applied yet, and its Apply button stays available.
Apply the subcontracting request
The approval administrator, the person who submitted the approval, or the approving manager clicks Mark as Done on the approved request. The approval moves to Done and the subcontracting request is applied in the same step: the production is split and the purchase order is created.
The subcontracting request now shows its Apply Date and the Done stage in its status bar. A request that was already applied by hand is left as it is.
The subcontracting request stays as it is in these cases:
- The approval is refused, cancelled or set back to draft: the request is not changed and can still be applied by hand.
- The approval is approved but not yet done: the request is not applied.
- A done approval is cancelled: the request stays applied.
Working on the request while an approval exists
The Apply button of the subcontracting request stays available whatever the state of its approval, so a manufacturing manager can apply the request by hand. When someone applies it by hand while its approval is still pending, a note is added to the approval so the reviewers see it.
If the subcontracting request is deleted, its approval request is kept and a note explains that the request no longer exists. An approval left with no subcontracting request can still be approved, refused, cancelled or marked as done; nothing is applied.
