third party procurement process

[Former Member]

hi all,

can any body help me to know the steps for third party procurement process.

In third-party processing, we place a purchase order with a vendor to deliver goods or perform a service for a third party (for example, for a customer).but here i need that the material should go to the customers subcontractor for assembly process and then should reach customer.

(instead of customer receive the material and again send it to subcontractor and after assembly again the same material after assembling come back to the costomer-----the material should go directly to sub contracting before it reach the customer.) pls help me by giving detailed step wise process.

thanks

the 3rd party process starts with a sales order.

to whom your vendor has to send the material is depending on the sales order ship-to partners adress.

So you have to create a customer master for your customers sub contractor. This is then used a ship-to in the 3rd party sales order.

While saving the sales order, the requistion is created.

You convert the requisition to a purchase order.

The purchase order should show the correct ship-to adress.
