Quality Sample size - how to manage in a trade office

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 360

Hi,

our business has a Supply Chain office in Asia that manages all our sourced goods from Asia. All vendor supplies are direct load to our manufacturing sites around the world.  Further we entertain a quality inspection office in mainland China that works with our vendor factories and inspects goods before they are loaded into container.

Some of the samples they pull are being destroyed but still have to be paid by the receiving company. Lets say I have a Direct delivery order of 500 units. 5 units are about to be tested and destroyed. The loading qty is therefor 495. All paperwork accompanying the load have to show that value.

However from an invoicing perspective the company is getting charged 500 units.

Today we are doing this with 2 packing slips. One packing slip with qty of 495 accompanies the load. The second packing slip with qty of 5 is being sent straight to the receiving company.

This process is time consuming and not really logical. Furthermore a destructive quality order wouldn't work either as its a direct delivery.

Any ideas how to better solve that topic?

Thanks!

    Is your purchase orders bought in a separate legal entity in China or are you recieving it in your destination legal entity, but service of QC is performed in china?

    In any case, there will be some registrations you need to perform.

    1. Receipt of entire goods quantity

    2. Reduction of 5 pcs. Can be done through QC or inventory movement journals.

    3. Shipping if remaining quantity to destination warehouse. Either through purchase/sales orders between legal entities or as a transfer order.

    Did you envision a simpler process flow?

    Hi Frederik,

    the scenario:

    company A located in North America - manufacturing site that orders components through company B

    company B located in Asia - supply chain office, in the same global group as company A but separate legal entity. no warehouse operations. This company has the QC department

    Vendor C - vendor located in Asia, received PO through Company B but ships directly to company A.

    Company A orders component with qty 100

    Company B receives PO from A and converts to direct delivery PO for Vendor C

    Vendor C prepares the goods, Company B QC team comes in an quality checks the goods. Destroys 5 units.

    Vendor C issues packing slip for qty 95, issues invoice for qty 100 with note that 5 have been destroyed.

    Vendor C physically ships only 95

    Company B needs to pass the cost for qty 100 through to Company, hence today they receive against the PO twice 95 + 5. This generates two packing slips on the Direct delivery SO. Packing slip 1 (95) is send as original document with the shipment leaving Vendor C. Packing slip 2 (5) is sent to company A

    Hope that makes it a bit clearer.
