RE: Ideas for parts sent outside

["Shrader, Patrick" <pshrader@xxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

We do this often. We use IM for all inventory transactions for production
(no PC&C, just PC and RM). For outside processors we transfer the goods to
the outside processor warehouse (set up for that vendor), then PC & RM the
item to record production and to increase FG inventory. If they ship for us,
we produce the pick and key the transaction for them (unless they have
access to our system). Otherwise we TW the finished goods back to a
distribution site or for further production if a component piece.

In fewer words, we set up a warehouse for that facility, transfer
components, record production, and transfer the finished good to the
customer or back to us as needed.

Hope this helps. And if others have a slicker idea, I'm all ears!

Subject: Ideas for parts sent outside


We have an issue that I am looking for options on how to handle:

We make a quantity of "blank" and then send them to an outside processor to
be powder coated various colors on demand.  The blanks are stored at the
vendor until they are needed.  What I am looking for are ideas on how to
handle the inventory transactions for the finished, coated blanks.  

Thanks for any ideas.
