Manufacturing Order / Purchase Order link

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

For outsourcing a Manufacturing sequence, I need to be able to link to multiple purchase order items. i.e. a single outsourced sequence has both a service charge (per piece), and a setup charge (one per run.)

However, only the first item (the one added to the PO automatically) is linked to the MO. Is there a way to manually link multiple PO line items to a single MO sequence?

Any alternate solutions to get outsourced services into WIP would be appreciated as well!

Thanks.

    There are two mechisms for linking POs to MOs.  One you have found inside the MO Order Entry window.  The second is the MOP/POP Link under Manufacturing Transactions.  In this you can select a vendor, a range of MOs even, and several items and create a PO.

     Thanks Richard, I will look into your newsletter.

     However, the MOP/POP Link shows only "suggested" items. These are the items that are automatically linked to MO outsourced sequences. This screen is handy to create a single PO from multiple MOs, but that's not really what I'm looking to do.

    For an item's cost to be absorbed into an MO, the item must be known to the MO.  This happens through the Pick List or through the Services purchased throught the MOP/POP links.  Just adding items to POs can be used to purchase the item/service but it will not get the cost into the MO.

    Set up charges are fun and I have several customers that encounter them.

    We list them on the fees to be purchased when the MO goes to outsourcing.  Sometimes we need to have two or more outsourced steps to the same vendor. One covers the setup charge and one the processing charges.  The headache is that the system multiplies the setup charge by the quantity of finished items on the MO.  This needs to be manually set back to 1 on the PO.

     Thanks Richard,

     I considered adding a second sequence for setup charges, but unfortunately these finished goods are standard cost valuated. So the standard cost calculation would also take the full setup charge.

     I think I will end up adding this charge onto one of the item's material overhead. This way it's always calculated into your MO WIP.

    GP is a bit lacking in the Manufacturing department it seems.
