Acting as a subcontractor

Posted on Nov 01, 2011 at 08:31 PM 32 Views

Hi all,

I am aware of the subcontracting process where we are sending raw materials to vendors, however in my case, it is the other way around and we are the vendors and receiving the raw materials.

Would this process make sense?

1. Create sales order

2. Create PO with 'free item' checked so there is no accounting impact and MIGO goods into inventory

3. Make-to-Order production

4. Deliver goods

5. Invoice

My issue is with the 'free item' on the PO and whether it is the standard way of approaching this or not.

Thanks

    Hi,

    What you mentioned is correct. That is how the scenario is handled.

    Some points which will make the process better.

    1. Maintain seperate storage location for these materials

    2. If possible maintain seperate MMR for these materials so that regular materials are not considered by the system while processing MRP for the sale order.

    3. For Sale order processing, manitain new pricing procedure where "Conversion charges" are to be charged from the customer instead of normal price.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    Sharan

    Hi,

    Have you considered using the following process:

    1. Use of the MM consignment procurement process to get the raw materials from your customer. You would need to maintain a vendor record for this consignment PO process.

    2.These materials would be managed as special stock in your plant, giving visibility to the partner stock lying at your locations. These would be managed as the same material number.

    3. These materials would be transferred to your stock before being issued for production.

    4. The settlement for these stock is done at periodic intervals and would depend on the stock withdrawn. It is possible to maintain consignment info records to help with this process.

    5. The sales order is created as agreed by the customer, delivered when stock is made available and billed.

    You can fine-tune this process to match your requirements. The advantage would be the visibility of stock, ability to undertake physical stock inventories and the determination of settlement amounts for stock issued.

    Regards

    PD
