Has anyone implemented the new Outsourced Manufacturing model and can give any insight into the pitfalls and usefulness? We are looking into and seeing that we cannot use with NS demand planning module but have the option to utilize 3rd party for demand planning piece

Outsourced not compatible with WIP work orders, and Advanced BOM is a prerequisite. Would be interested to see how it interacts with 3rd party Demand Planning

Good to know about WIP work orders - fortunately we don't do those. Have you implemented outsourced manufacturing at all?

You can utilize demand planning with outsourced manufacturing. I've implemented it as a NS employee and partner with both the new MRP and Time Phased planning.

There is some nuance with forms and also for when your PO's are generated from the WO of the outsourced item.
