External Processing in Production 

Purpose

Operations are executed by an external vendor

Externally processed operations are not executed in-house but are given to external vendors for processing in their plants. This example describes how you create a production order whose routing has been assigned one external processing operation. All other operations are processed internally. You can decide in the production order whether you want to have the operation processed externally with or without material staging.
