Sending Items to Vendor for subcontracted operations
We use subcontracting within PeopleSoft for various subcontracted operations. In most cases the Vendor where the operation takes places also holds our Inventory so the BOM, PID etc exists in that specific INV Unit.
Example: One of our Vendors has stock on sight for empty SD cards, SD card boxes and labels, so we have a seperate INV BU for that Vendor.
When we create the PID, a PO is created for the assembly and upload service. Once the PO is received, we can complete the assembly and components are consumed in the BU.
Now we come accross a situation where we have the component Inventory in unit A, but Vendor X will need these components to perform the subcontracted operation.
