Outside party processing

Hi!

How does Mapics address the following Business process:

Item Number: OR6205

Description: Ring

Raw Material: Iron Rod

Manufacturing Operations:

1. Turning - In house

2. Heat Treatment - In house

3. Face & OD Grinding - Outside Party Operation

4. Groove Grinding - Outside Party Operation

5. Honing - In house

6. Etching - In house

7. Assembly - In house



A manufacturing order is raised on OR6205, i.e. MO52400. Raw material i.e.
Iron Rod is issued to this MO. After turning & heat treatment the ring is sent
for outside processing. Ground rings are then processed in house.

How do I account for the outside party operation i.e. Labor charges? Note that
sometimes the outside party operations can be done in house.

At any point in time, Information of inventory at the vendor is also
desirable.

Is it a MUST to have different part numbers for OR6205?

I would appreciate your response on this issue.

Thanks & Regards,

Hrishikesh Kotwal
