I have a lot of products that I send out to anodizing. We manufacture the part then send it out. Sub contracting doesn't work because we make the part, unless I create a different part number for the coated and uncoated part which I would prefer not to do. The obvious solution is to have an outside work center for anodizing but that doesn't allow me to create the PO required. Does anyone else have a better solution for outside contracting where you supply a semi finished product not raw materials? Thanks in advance.

My recommendation: Your process in the ERP system should always be the same as the physical flow. Then your system will always tell you the status of your process and give the answer to: "Where is my stuff" and "what is the cost".
Your produce
You put it in a location
You ship it to your subcontractor
You receive it from you subcontractor. What you receive is a different product the what you sent.
So definitely you need to part numbers: Uncoated - which is what you send to your subcontractor, and the coated that you get back. And the separate BOMs.
THat way you will have control of the process and the cost.
Lars - I cannot seem to get this to work for some reason. I have 2 products set up. One part we make, and one part that has that part in a BOM that is subcontracting. What i would expect to happen is when I replenish the anodized part I would get a requirement for the unanodized part plus a delivery ticket to ship the unanodized part to the subcontractor (along with a receipt for the finished part). The route on the final part is resupply subcontractor on order (and the BOM is subcontracting). The error I get is There is no matching vendor price to generate the purchase order for product [70-04201-00A] 70-Plate, CYL Mount, FC32 Ano (no vendor defined, minimum quantity not reached, dates not valid, ...). Go on the product form and complete the list of vendors. There is a vendor in the BOM set and the putaway rule is set to Stock. I have no idea where the input location is coming from. IF I add the buy route then it looks like any other purchase part and I am not prompted to send anything to the subcontractor. Do I have to manually create the delivery ticket to the subcontractor? and if so then the replenishment for the unanodized part probably does not work and would have to be manual as well. We have hundreds of these types of parts so I am trying to automate as much as I can,
Do check this tutorial to ensure the product and components are set-up accurately for the routes and replenishments

Route on anodized product has to be a buy and would need vendor in purchase tab and have BOM type subcontract
Route on unanodized product needs to be resupply subcontractor on order
