Re: Outside labour operation?

We do something similar.

Parts have unique item #s, where what goes to the outside vendor is a
different part # than what comes back with their work added.

Operation # 1 prepares a package, that we call a kit, that issues the
material, going to the outside vendor, that they will need to do their
thing.
Operation # 2 is where they do their thing. The routings for that operation
are costed by piece, based on a labor rate that they charge us.
Operation # 3 receives & inspects final product item produced by outside
vendor.

The parts involved have a unique item class related to that vendor.
A different unique item class for each outside vendor.

That means that any inventory issued, where the parent part has that unique
item class, must have gone to the outside vendor, and any parts completed,
that have that unique item class, must have been made by the outside vendor.

We have a program to list outstanding orders on that item class, which
subtracts quantities of operation # 3 from operation # 1 of each of those
orders, to see what's in the works. What we call WIP at that vendor.

We occasionally have to issue additional material to replace what they had
to scrap.

Regular WIP is in-house production.
Purchasing WIP is raw materials we have ordered, not yet here.
Then there's WIP at each of several outside vendors.

Hi Peter

You need to create a Work Centre , then add a routing step to the product
and designate the w/c and Cost pr piece in that routing step.
Then you may create a PO ,so you easily can track what you have
outstanding.

Does anybody out there in BPCS world know how to handle a situation where we
have a Vendor to whom we supply the material - the Vendor takes that
material and performs a labor operation - then returns that item to us?

We need somehow to capture the cost of that labor and material - apply to
the item number to prevent variance between the standard and actual.

We are running on BPCS 6.02PLF81397

thanks,
Peter
