BOM question for purchase part that has outside processing

Hi Jenny,

we have the same kind of jobs.

Our solution:
Have a dedicated 
- workcenter for outside cutting
- routing for items concerned
- BOM

Create then a shop order for cutting which is automatically creating a 
purchase order towards the cutter. The P.O. of the raw material contents 
the ship to address of the cutter and the warehouse/location for this is 
the location = vendor number of the cutter in the raw material warehouse.

Of course the PO receipt of the raw material must be posted on this 
warehouse.
The receipt on PO from the cutter will automatically increase the shop 
order finished qty and if backflush (must single issue = N) the stock of 
raw material will also automatically be decreased.

This procedure will enable a full tracebility of stocks but creates also 
some workload.

If you would like to have more details, don't heasitate to contact me.
