Hi All,
I need to order the materials; then send those materials to a manufacturer A to produce a product A. After finished, the manufacturer A sends the product A back to me. Then I send the product A to another manufacturer B to make the product B. Then I receive product B. How do I tract the total cost of the production? I'm assuming I would create:
1. an Item for a material.
2. an item for Subtract A
3. an item for Subcontract B
Step process:
When the customer placed an order, I would think I need to create a production order: Estimate->Release->Start. At the point of "Start" the production, will I see the inventory or materials to move out of my book? (reduce inventory). How do I move the materials to the manufacturer A? I don't think I just simply write a journal entry; because I can't track my item that way. Can I? Will the materials sit in my production when I don't produce the product?
When I hire a manufacturer A to make the product A, I would think I need to place a PO. When I receive the finished product A from the manufacturer A, then I "Receipt" it. At this point, I go to the production, and click on "Report as finished", correct?
Could someone please shed some lights to this process? Thanks so much!
