I wonder if there is another possibility, but it works like this:
create a new product
- product type = service
- procurement method = on order
- supply method = buy
- add the subcontractor in tab 'suppliers'
- add this product as component in the finished goods BoM
When you confirm a MO the system generates a Request for Quotation. Careful: if you confirm this RfQ make sure the invoice control is set to 'from order'. If you select 'from picking' the system will never generate an invoice (product is not stockable, you will not receive any goods on this PO).
Issue: the draft invoice contains always the ordered qty. If your subcontractor splits his delivery into two financial periods the invoive should get splitted as well... Not working in OpenERP as far as I know. What we do is: copy the invoice in state 'draft' change qty in both invoices (invoice 1 with received qty, invoice 2 with remaining qty)
Another issue: yes, you will not find the move in 'incoming shipments' or 'receive products' where you expect them - but in 'traceability / stock moves' in state 'waiting'
