Purchasing manufactured parts

On 8.03.4xx (with AMM), not true. (We do this routinely - sometimes one-off outsource POs to relieve a temporary resource bottleneck, sometimes a one-off insource if supplier struggling to make delivery, sometimes rework of DMRed supplier receipts that we backcharge for, and sometimes planned ongoing 'dual source' of supplier and internal production - generally so supplier schedule can be kept static and internal shop can (more quickly) react to variances of customer demand.)

No prohibition whatsoever about producing purchased parts on a job (with a complex - not necessarily subcontract OP only based part-rev method - that CAN have a BOM) - or buying a fabricated part.

Financial side impact is dependent upon the part's cost method & how you have things set to flow to G/L.

If you're Std Cost, beware of impact on cost rollups if you have approved primary part-rev methods in place under a purchased parts: It'll roll right through and distort standard cost. Best bet is to have any method under a purchased part-rev (approved) not be a primary method but an alternate.

Determining issue on whether a part should be set to type purchased or made is really about who you want to manage it (a planner/Buyer if set to Purchased - who will get New & Change PO suggestions, or a planner/Scheduler if set to Fabricated - who will be triggered to act on unfirmed MRP jobs and change messaging)?

Actually that is the only way to have a manufactured part that has the
same part number as what you want to buy.

The part engineering is:

10 OP:SUBMC (Subcontract Machined Complete) - Inspect on
receipt IF QA available

20 ... (Any subsequent operations you may perform if
any)

No materials involved.

This allows you to sell/stock/manufact ure part 123 and purchase part 123
without creating separate parts. The subcontract PO purchases the part
machined complete. When received it's inspected and either continued in
manufacturing, stocked or shipped to a customer.

Hi all, can anyone tell me the best way to purchase a part that is
set-up as manufactured. Currently we are duplicating the part record and
changing it from manufactured to purchased! and giving the new part
record a prefix of PUR. Duplication of part records does not seem the
right way to go too me. However our FD insists its the only way to
report financials correctly.
Is it possible to raise a job to stock for a manufactured part, add one
operation for sub-con and purchase the part against that op?
Will this method report financials correctly?

Thanks

Ian
