We have a scenario with a customer what might be general in certain industries, but it is unique to us. Our client provides value added services to customers. The customers would provide the original raw material - our client would request the first value-add services from a sub-contractor, and then through a number of production steps convert the item for its final intended use for the customer.
The client does not pay for the raw material, only the value-added services and any inventory used to create the final product. If the stock provided by the customer is insufficient, we could consume stock-on-hand from inventory, but then the customer needs to be charged for the value of this additional raw material.
Because the items provided by the customer and our stock are used interchangeably, they need to have the same item number. Would it be possible to post these items to different main accounts, so that the customer-provided stock could be tracked as income received in advance until consumed, or is there another way for us to ensure the financials are correct?
Additional considerations:
1. We do not want to overstate the inventory on hand by the customer inventory
2. We do want to make use of MRP and thus need both items to be on the same item number, as both customer-provided and our own inventory should be considered on hand.
