I'm wondering why it is not allowed to create a warehouse receive document for a production order subcontractor purchase order. In most cases you send production components to a subcontrator to let the subcontrator make something with this components. At the end the subcontrator ships this components changed and in another item condition and with it another item no. back. Where are this shipments arrive?? - In the warehouse receive area like all other items coming from vendors!
So why shouldn't the worker in the warehouse receive area create a warehouse receive document for this receive like for all other item incomes?
And at the end the warehouse receive document post doesn't nothing other then getting the purchase order and post this purchase order over the codeunit 90! So for me its nothing else as the warehouse worker opens the subcontrator purchase order, write in the receiving quantity and item tracking informations and post this purchase order. Only that it is much more inconvinience to them and for the companies rules they have to grant them full access to the purchase order!
So it would be very helpfull if it would be possible to create a warehouse receive document for a subcontractor purchase order.

The inclusion of this functionality would be a great enrichment for many customers and highly appreciated.

This is so important. We had to work with our partner to come up with a custom number series for subcontracting purchase orders because the warehouse has to receive the items in differently. As an example, we have a vendor that we use for both purchased items and outside processing. So some items we simple purchase from them on a normal purchase order, while other items we need them to complete an operation on a subcontracting purchase order. Since all these items are coming from the same vendor we had to come up with some other indication to the warehouse on which receiving process to use. I would rather the same process be handled for ALL types of things purchased - purchased, subcontracting, general ledger, etc..

Agree, this is something BC should provide that there is not a difference in the process for the users. No matter for what the receipt is or where the purchase order is originated from.
