In R3P, our current receiving process for subcontracted materials back flushes the corresponding BOM quantity for a child material based on the quantity of the parent material being received. The residual inventory remains in subcontracting stock at the vendor.
EXAMPLE 1 (Current State):
Subcontracting PO: Receipt in MIGO: Residual Inventory at subcontractor:
Parent Material = 300 Parent = 299
Child Material (a) = 600 Child (a) = 598 Child (a) = 2
Child Material (b) = 300 Child (b) = 299 Child (b) = 1
Occasionally we need all of the child material to back flush from the subcontracting inventory, regardless of the parent quantity (Labels are an excellent example):
EXAMPLE 2 (Desired Outcome):Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
Subcontracting PO: Receipt in MIGO Residual inventory at subcontractor:
Parent = 300 Parent = 299
Child (a) = 600 Child (a) = 600 Child (a) = 0
Child (b) = 300 Child (b) = 300 Child (b) = 0
Currently I have to manually adjust the BOM quantity before entering the receipt or adjust the inventory via cycle count. This is time consuming and does not seem to be the "proper" way of handling this type of transaction.
What can we do during the receiving process to get the result as illustrated in EXAMPLE 2 above?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
