H ow toTrack the "UOM" & RM details during sub contracting..

Question

Hello experts,
                      There is a scenario where in like am facing with my clients,
      my client company is a manufacturing company, as if now 75% of job was done through sub-contract only, and 25 % of job was done in their own warehouse,so they want to tack their item which is going out for sub-contracting, (for example) they are transferring  their raw materials in "KILOGRAM" to sub-contractors, while receiving as semi finished they get in "Numbers". so i want to Track the "UOM"  as well consuming of raw materials also.
kindly advice how to map this scenario..
Regards

Hi Chandrashekhar,
You need to create BOM-Bills of material for that activity (changing RM item to Semi Finished item) and complete the production process.
In BOM definition you need to mention Semi finished item as Parent Item and RM as Child Item.By doing this you will have the different UOM as both the items are different.
You can create new warehouse with name of sub-contractor, and use in above process to track material lying with sub contractor.
You will have to track other commercial activities separately, like creating Purchase Order on the name of Sub-contractor for services, and completing the Purchase cycle there. Where as stock level transactions are to be create by posting BOM,Production Order,Issue for Production(RM in KG to Sub contractor whare house),Receipt from Production(Semin finished item in No. to main ware house).
Hope by following above steps you can do the desired functionality.
