Inventory/PO Issue

edited Nov 26, 2019 8:41AM in Accounting / ERP 3 comments

I'm having a problem figuring out how to set up certain items in inventory with regards to purchase orders.  Here is the process I'm struggling with:

1. I create a purchase order for raw materials and receive it when the materials arrive.

2. We then send these materials out to be processed by a third party. 

3. We bring them it back and enter it as an assembly and they are part of multiple assembly builds.

Here is the dilemma...if we add the processed materials as a raw material I can create a PO, but how do I account for the original material we sent to the third party?  If we bring it in as an asembly then I can't create a PO for it and it is a logisitics headache to kept tabs on everything.

Howdy, Stranger!
