Use Work Order Dispatch Report (16.18) and Work Center Dispatch Report (18.4.8) to determine when purchase orders for subcontract operations should be released.
The Work Order Dispatch Report displays the operations scheduled at a work center, sorted by start date. The report includes the item being built, the work order that authorizes the work, standard setup and run times, and the open quantity on the order at that work center.
Use this report to provide work visibility for a specified number of days, determined by the Window Days field. Also use it as a measurement tool for comparing production progress with production plans
