"Proper" process

Epicor ERP 10
1

I am looking for input on the proper way to handle raw material issued to a job, having an outside operation take the raw material and send to a vendor who then returns a different part number to the job so when the processed parts are received against a PO, the processed parts get inspected and then issued directly to the job when passed.

The process we use now is overly complicated it seem to me…

Thanks

Evening Bernie,

I spoke with our purchasing/planning group, and they confirmed that that is
how we process sub-contracting operations as well. As far as we know, it
is the best/only way to handle it on Epicor.

  1. Create a Job with the raw material, including a subcontracting
    operation.
  2. Issue Material to Job.
  3. Create a PO to the subcontracting supplier for the end part, with
    inspection processing.
  4. Create a Miscellaneous shipment to the supplier.
  5. Receive the PO when the parts return, which end up in the inspection
    processing queue.
  6. Inspect parts to the Job.
  7. Finish the Job.

Thanks,
