Process to create a PO and deliver material directly to subcontractor (v12)

Question

In v12 - I would like to create a purchase order for a raw material but have the material delivered directly to my subcontractor. My question is how do I configure this correctly? The vendor of the raw material is unrelated to my subcontractor. 
 My thoughts: I can "create" a second address for my purchase site (that is actually the subcontractor address). I can also set the "receipt" location as my "subcontractor location" but both seem incorrect - and room for operator error. I am trying to use the normal PO menu GESPOH; with almost all fields available in the entry transaction. I will create a subcontract order (later) for the finished good they are making and their service (under subcontracting orders - GESSCO).

Jeremy, you are actually on the right track. You'll need the second address so the Subcontractor address will show up as the Receiving Address on the PO. When doing the PO receipt, the location must be your Subcontractor location so the SubCon order lines can allocate and decrement accordingly. A strong business process and training should cover the operator error. 
 Stay well!

You have mentionned the answer: "create" a second address for my purchase site (that is actually the subcontractor address) and set the "receipt" location as my "subcontractor location".
If you are afraid to make mistakes a small customuzation can default the receipt address (matching you subcontractor) from the product-site for instance.

I have never found a better solution but I am eager to get another input.
