Mount a receptacle in the sink base cabinet and put a cord on the dishwasher. Code requires a means to disconnect.
Yes, mount a receptacle under the sink.I have done this before, installed dishwashers, but with the new Bosch I just got delivered it needs a junction box mounted under the sink. The power is behind the dishwasher, like every other one I have done and the manual says to specifically not mount the box behind the dishwasher as there will be no room.
Here is what it looks like now:

That hardwire needs to be over under the cabinet, but its behind the drywall. Can I mount it up along the drywall and drill a hole over to the sink compartment or will this require a much larger remodel?
The plumbing is all fine, I can get the drain and hot water line through the existing holes to have them hooked up, but I have never faced this issue before as normally you just wire the dishwashers directly up, at least I did a bunch of years ago so I am not prepared for this new fangled junction box future.
Can I take the wire from the picture and make it into a receptacle? Meaning if I drill another hole about here and take the wire you see, is that acceptable?Mount a receptacle in the sink base cabinet and put a cord on the dishwasher. Code requires a means to disconnect.
