Hi All
In the subcontractor process if we are sending our items to the subcontractor supplier for say packaging, how do we create warehouse documents to pick and receipt. Also we need to know what's in the subcontractor location. These inventory items are our items so it should be reflected in inventory valuation. I don't if there are any automatic process is available or options for customizations/workarounds exit
Thanks
It can be a bit of a gap depending on how your routing and production environment are set up.
if a subcontractor routing step is just one operation within a routing and you are not using routing links, there is no warehouse documentation as there is no inventory to pick or ship, your items are just WIP values after you have consumed stock.
What you can do is split your routings up into multiple discrete production processes. e.g.
Obviously you don’t have to have 3 steps. There could be more or less.
It depends on what level of control you need and how advanced your planning is as to whether this type of setup is practical. It’s perfectly doable in a structured environment with either a good understanding of planning or a low volume of orders (if you’re doing this manually).
If the products remain on your ledger I’d setup a location matching the vendors ID or name so you can report what’s been transferred to that location. You can also create a transit warehouse but you should test both scenarios.
