That would work as well if the orders and material were turned quickly. The
reason why we don't do that is b/c our outsource companies may hold our
component inventory for quite some time. To save confusion, we don't want
to show these components in our inventory at our facility. If a MO is
executed, there needs to be component stock in the inventory to deplete and
avoid negative quantities.

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
