RE: Out Side Services on BPCS CD

There remains one challenge:  How to track the outside service PO.  Since
MRP ignores services PO, if you reschedule the controlling shop order
someone has to remember to re-schedule the services PO manually.  If you do
a lot of outside processing that's a lot of remembering.

Priority management software ties the outside services PO to the controlling
shop order and highlights any rescheduling required - no more remembering.

Contact me off list for more information.

I can handle question 2:

On your routing, an operation will be specified as a 'C' in the basis code.
In our case, we specify the work center by company name (the company
performing the operation).  In Run hours, we put the standard cost of the
outside operation.

Cut a shop order

When it's time, cut a PO for the item # on the shop order and quantity being
sent outside.

On the detail behind the PO line, specify 'Y' for 'outside operation' and
key the shop order and operation where shown.

That's it.  Now the PO is tied to the shop order.  When the item returns
from the outside operation, the receiving person will key a 'OO'
transaction.

Our 'OO' doesn't affect inventory.  When the 'C' (cost) transaction is keyed
in accounts payable (when A/P keys the invoice) the costs will be applied.

Here is two separate questions / issues in doing outside services.   Maybe
someone can share some advice.

We are doing more outside services.    How do you create paper work to
ship items out?   Today we hand write misc. Packslips and Bill of Ladings?
Today we have an operation on a shop order for out side shipping.    The
dispatch list for that work center creates a list of items to be shipped
out.   We then have an  operation / workcenter to receive back in on. This
helps us track where the parts are.

Then we create a PO for an item representing the Outside charges.    This
item is then received in and issued to the Shop order.   This applies the
cost to the shop order.     I have been testing the way a PO can be tied
to a shop order and operation.    I noticed the "OO" - outside receipt
transaction.    What does this transaction do differently than the "U" PO
receipt.

Thanks
