Hello,

 

I am looking for input to a new process that we are looking to manage through Acumatica.

 

We have a raw material that we purchase from one vendor. We will now be sending this material to another vendor to add a process step, altering the single stock item into 3 new stock items.

We do not have MRP right now. Is there any way to achieve this in Acumatica without MRP? Do you have anything you can recommend to replicate this process and the cost of everything on these materials within Acumatica?  In the reading I have done, everything requires the Manufacturing module.

 

I would appreciate your input.

If you dont want to go the Manufacturing route, you need to first have a method to take the original item out of stock and then receive the three new items.

Suggest that you setup a GL account and attach a Adjustment reason code to this.  The processing cost can also go to this GL account.

You simply adjust out the single item and adjust in the 3 items.  The important part is the cost as you are thus manually controlling that cost, so by having the GL clearing account, this can be checked.

Typically, this is done using the Outside Process functionality of the manufacturing module.
