Hi,
When running a production order for an item with a service item on the BOM, a purchase order for the service item is automatically generated.
Is it possible for that purchase order to be automatically received after the production order containing the service item is finished??
No I do not believe it is, the receipt is the trigger point that can close the route and also allow the production order to RAF, but you cannot do it the other way, there has to be a physical receipt of the service/goods to indicate the sub-contractor has delivered and production can continue. This is only my thought, you could try testing it, but the way it is set up would imply you cannot backflush a service AND receive the PO in by doing this.
