Subcontractor Packlist

Posted on by 859

Can anyone share best practices or their approach to handling subcontract outbound parts shipments in NAV 2009 ?  From what I can tell there isn't a report that is specifically for printing a packlist of items being shipped out to a subcontractor.  Is this correct?  If so how to people deal with that?  It seems like a big oversight not to have an outbound packlist as part of the subcontractor module.

If this is not part of 2009 is it addressed in 2013?

    You have the option to use a transfer order to send the components to the vendor. You then have a packing list and can pick and ship them the way you handle regular shipments.

    To set this up in NAV you need a location for the vendor, then you need a SKU for the item you produce where you set the 'components at location' to be the vendor location.

    If you run mrp you also need SKUs for the components at the vendor location, then you can have NAV to create the transfer orders required.

    Something like that does not exist in NAV (doesn't matter what version). You can make some customization, but when you ship items to subcontractors, this is not inventory process in NAV. You have only Work Center as subcontractor.

    When you got invoice from subcontractor, system doesn't post inventory process, only capacity cost as invoice value. Exception is only if this is the last process on PO.
