RE: Inter-plant subcontracting

We do the same as the post below.  We're the biggest customer (and they're
the biggest vendor) of one of our plants while they also sell product on
their own.  Since our product lines are loosely related, we have customer
numbers, item numbers and vendor numbers in common, as well as workcenters,
department numbers, etc.  Since nobody is willing to 'give up' the numbers
they're familiar with, we're probably going to remain on a customer/vendor
relationship.

Just in an aside, we're running 4.05CD on the same box, maintaining separate
databases.  We're going to probably write custom interface programs to
minimize some of the paper jungle that's been created over the years.  In
other words, I'll create a PO (or RO) and 'translate' it into a CO/SO on our
sister company.

We are BPCS 405 CD mixed mode.
We have several facilities in which some factories make sub-components that
are raw materials to the other factories.  This can be done via DRP
re-supply
orders, but our people prefer to transcribe POs to COs & treat inter-plant
same as customer -vendor because our in-house training not yet reached the
point that a lot of people really understand ROs.  There is also a deal,
which we do not use, in which you can subcontract part of your routings
through outside operation vendors.
