Check the Subcontracting box if the work center is a subcontracting work center.
In the Preparation procedure, you enter the setup and unit costs (instead of setup and unit times) directly on the operation rows for subcontracting work centers. The system will then take this information into consideration at various times. In the Pre-Calculation these costs are entered under Subcontracting costs. In the Order List procedure (during reporting etc.), the operation is also shown with costs, and not time.
The cost factor fields will be greyed out, if you check this parameter.
