How to include the (expanded) BOM in the subcontracting order,if raw materials sourced by supplier?

Hi everyone,

I have a subcontracted product, where the subcontractor buys raw materials to produce the final product. The BOM must be controlled by me for regulatory purposes. For each order, the subcontractor must get the full (expanded) BOM. This could be done in the subcontracting order, but I don’t see a way to include this BOM there (expanded for multilevel BOM).

How can I include the (expanded) BOM in the Subcontracting Order when raw materials are sourced by supplier?

Best,
Marko

If the supplier handles raw materials, keep the controlled BOM in your system and share the expanded list as a separate document with the Subcontracting Order.

For a multilevel BOM, ensure the expansion shows the correct versions and quantities for the order. Consider generating a BOM explosion report or using a custom format to attach the full breakdown, instead of relying on the standard Subcontracting Order.

This approach also allows you to include necessary specifications or revision details for regulatory traceability.

That also came to my mind, I was just hoping for an automated option, to avoid mistakes. Thank you!
