Hello Experts,
My problem is related to sub contracting and how to reflect the time the subcontractor needs to produce the goods.
My system works as follows.
I create a subcontacting for material A. This material has delivery time 5 days. I supply the subcontractor vendor with material B. This material has also delivery time 5 days.
So, when I set the delivery date to ie 02.02.09 for component A, I get the requirements date for component B to 10 days less than my requirements date.
This means that I need to have B in my stock 10 days before I get A into stock. I guess that this is caluclated using A and B's delivery time and in this case, the five days i meant to reflect the number of days from me to the vendor.
This does not reflect my needs.
I also need to be able to reflect the production time at the vendor. This is the number of days between he receive B and when he can ship A. As this works now, the vendor is given no time to manifacture A out of B.
Second, the time it takes to ship B will be very different denpendent on which vendor who will receive it.
Any ideas how this is done?
