I created a routing in the manufacturing with the production location = supplier_1_locn, with the following settings:-
location name = supplier_1_locn
parent = Partner Locations/Vendors
location type = vendor location.
I then applied the route to the bill of material. Next I made a manufacturing order and confirmed the production. But the inventory moves of the manufacturing order shows the following:-
| Date | Reference | Product | From | To | Quantity Done | Unit of Measure | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 05/28/2018 12:51:10 | MO/00005 | test 1 | Partner Locations/Vendors/supplier_1_locn | Virtual Locations/Production | 1.000 | Unit(s) | Available | |
| 05/28/2018 12:51:10 | MO/00005 | test 2 | Partner Locations/Vendors/supplier_1_locn | Virtual Locations/Production | 4.000 | Unit(s) | Available | |
| 05/28/2018 12:51:21 | MO/00005 | forum | Virtual Locations/Production | WH/Stock | 1.000 | Unit(s) | Waiting Availability |
In my example the BOM has components as test1 and test2. And the finished product is named as 'forum'. Inventory moves shows that the components move from the supplier location to virtual locations/production and the finished products move from the virtual locations/productions back to my warehouse(WH/Stock).
Is this the expected output from a subcontracting manufacturing order?(don't think so)
How to transfer the raw materials from my warehouse (WH/Stock) to Supplier Location(Partner locations/Vendors/supplier_1_locn) so as the supplier manufactures the product in his location and sends the finished product back to me(WH/Stock)?
