I have a final operation that is an outside assembly of parts that are packed and returned to us as the FG. When I received against the PO It shows the production quantity completed after the receipt to the PO but nothing received to stock. Yet when I look at the part transaction history I see a warehouse and Bin
How do I get it to stock. I tried reporting production complete through time and expense and everything is unavailable to report against
The outside processing is the only operation on the job, and it is make to stock.
What am I missing
Pretty sure you can also set the Job to Auto Receipt to Inventory, but pretty sure best practice is to Inspection, Receive Sub/PO, Receipt to Inventory.
Hi.
We have not found a way to make this work. We add a “pack” operation on the subcontract jobs after the subcontract operation. That way, the Auto Receive to Inventory works.
Thanks Clint I missed that step and realized it, but have you also set it up to auto receive on the subcontract operation and had that work. Another question is in Kinectic shouldnt the Buyers work bench include the request for a PO for the outside process job if it is already linked on the operation as a default to a specific supplier?
It is confusing when you have to receive a subcontract operation and then you have to do a Job to Inventory transaction right after that.
Mainly because if you do a receipt for purchased goods, that receipt receives the parts to stock, so one would assume that a subcontract receipt would do the same. The reasoning is that the subcontract operation can be in the middle of the job, so it receives the parts back to the job for any future operations. If the job is complete after the subcontract operation, then you must do a Job receipt to Inventory to take it to stock.
If you have Inspection Required checked on your PO, you must inspect the parts and pass them for the parts to go back to the job. Inspecting the parts and passing them will not receive them to inventory.
As for the PO suggestion appearing for the subcontract operation, yes, you should get a suggestion in the Buyers Workbench if the operation has a supplier chosen for it. The funny thing is that the first time MRP runs after a demand exists for the FG, MRP creates a job suggestion only. The job has to be firmed then MRP or PO Suggestions run again for the PO subcontract suggestion to appear on the Buyers Workbench.
Been a while and now I implementing another site. Anyway good information. Have one more question. Our buyers would love to see the list of materials that are sent to the subcontractor on the PO with the part numbers and their quantities issued to the job. I figure maybe we could do something in the comments but there seems to be no way to include in the comments field. Also want that same information to transfer to comments on the subcontract pack list. Any ideas, back in the days we just sent a copy of the job traveler with the packing slip.
I’m trying to remember what prints on the Subcontract Packing Slip that gets sent with the shipment to the subcontractor. It’s been a while since I’ve worked with it. The material gets issued to the job. There was a way to print it because we had to do that along with Lot numbers so the supplier could keep the order straight (it was possible to have more that one PO out to them for the same parts that belonged to different jobs/orders).
Andy have you done anything like that, was a bpm used. I have the auto receive setting on the operation But have not verified it is working. Seems to be some chatter here that is doesnt.
We have done various iterations of this, normally for a customer that wants to raise a PO, have it delivered to the subcontractor and receive in the finished goods. Or send goods for subcontracting.
