Goods day.

We are buying a sub-assembly from a vendor. All the materials for this sub-assemble are supplied by us. The vendor only provide their manpower for assembly task.

I am think of creating a production order with sub-contracting operation. From here, a sub-contracting PO can be created for the cost of the manpower provided by the vendor.

In this case, how can I create a delivery order to delivery those raw materials to the vendor.

Does anyone have a better idea ?

I am on Baan V.

Hi, your procedure is right and it is the standard subcontract process.

in Baan V, you can create the subcontract PO via add subcontract operation in the ROU, and then, create subcontract Purchase order from SFC.
As the material you have just mention, there are no standard way to control this issue.

In practise,
Solution I: You can issue your material and WIP by manual, and recoder it out of the ERP system to trace the material out and in.

Solution II: you can create a warehouse for your subcontract, use the Tranfer order to control the material movement from your company warehouse and the subcontractor warehouse.

I heard of that some new functionality is available in LN+FP5. I am not sure the detail about this.

Thanks for the reply, Andy.
