Hello Experts,
Please share your thoughts on the subcontracting process model for the following scenrio.
We have a simple BOM structure having one header +2 components. Components are sourced from respective suppliers. We dont manufacturing products internally and everything is procured externally. Finally procured components are send to the subcontractor for final packaging who charges nominal amount for the services rendered. The subcontractor eventually delivers the FG to the distribution center. Just to provide additional information, Demand is generated at distribution center for FG +components. Distribution center invokes a Preq on the subcontractor for the demands generated.
Components should pass through a virtual location for operational visibility which means DC>>Virtual location>>Vendor in the subcon process.
Questions?
Is it manadatory to maintain prodution version for the above suncontracting scenario where everything is procured externally? If yes, In which location it should be maintained?
Can components pass through a virtual location or Only 1-1 relation between source and destination?
Note: Subcontracting vendor does only packaging job but tangible FG exist with subcontractor until it delivers to DC.
Please suggest some inputs on how to model this subcontracting process.
Lakshmi.
