Outsourced Manufacturing Consolidator
The Outsourced Manufacturing Consolidator converts outsourced work orders into purchase orders. The consolidator process is designed to consolidate purchase orders. Work orders need to be released before a purchase order can be consolided.
Before the Outsourced Manufacturing feature can be enabled, an administrator must enable prerequisite features. To learn more, see Setting up Outsourced Manufacturing.

Purchase Order Lines for some work orders will be ordered at the work order creation time.

Due to performance expectations, a single purchase order is limited to only 30 work orders.

Purchase orders are created only on the Standard Outsourced Purchase Order form.
