Title: Sometimes an outside process
Post by timgolds on 02/04/05 at 14:06:39

HELP!!!

I can't figure out how to do this. Here's the senario.

We have part that has four processes to it. One of the proccesses takes a while so we would like to farm it out when we are busy but not all the time.

I have the raw material, of type R with a route built as follows to a type A part:

10 - saw to length
20 - lathe to spec
25 - outside process lathe - type A
30 - mill
40 - heat treat

step 25 is an alternate step to replace step 20 when we don't have the bandwidth to do this step. How do I do a PO for this alternate step? I have tried a service PO but that wants a seq with type P. If it's a type P, it's assumed the outside process happens every time, which is not the case.

If I do a purchase PO, it receives the unfinished part before the other steps are complete causing an even greater problem.

Any suggestions or ideas would be a great help,

Tim

Use WO-K-A to change the type of the sequence for the WO to P when you need it, then you can do the Service PO.
