Why not create an item for the outsource contract work?
The finished item can then have an MO created for it with a bill of material including all the components needed and the outsource service item. Then the finished goods item will have the cost of the components and the service to put them together.

Kevin,
We manufacture most of our "manufacturable" parts in house. Although, for some parts it makes more sense to outsource. In this case, we manufacture all of the components in house through Manufacturing Work Orders, gather parts and a parts list, and send parts to outsource company along with a PO.
When components are sent out, we execute a misc issue (IS) for all of the components leaving our facility. Then the finished products are eventually received back to our stock as a completed weldment on a PO.
This is theoretical. It works well if all persons involved care enough to play along. If anyone has better ideas, I would be interested as well.

All,
I is common business practice to sub-contract board fabrication. It is also common business practice to supply some or all of the components for the
fab(less) shop.
I'd like to know how you are handling such an issue. Basically, how do you supply a vendor components with a PO?
Thanks in advance for your expertise.
Kevin Fox
