Has anyone been able to create supply type purchase orders without creating production order?
Example:
- You have a raw material (stock item)
- You send this raw material out to get modified by a vendor (let’s say adding color to it)
- They do whatever they need to do to modify it
- They send it back to you and you receive it in as a different stock item (for us it’s another raw material we will then use for a production order)
I understand creating the bill of materials with the service and the raw materials, but creating a production order to do this does not align with what we are doing (that is suppliers responsibility to have a production order). So this is creating additional work for something that is a rather simple process. We simply want to create a vendor purchase order, pick the material needed to the purchase order and then receive it in as another item.
I can’t find a way to pick raw materials to purchase order to capture that cost and include the traceability
