We have a fabrication vendor that takes our raw materials parts and welds them together to make a finished sub assembly that we then issue to our production line for assembly to other subassemblies.
 
I have a subassembly BOM set up to consume the raw parts we provide to the vendor (ie we issue them to the WO to relieve inventory into WIP as we send them to the vendor).  I also have a routing set up for the outprocess sequence.  The BoM/Routing costs roll up correctly, thus making our cost accountant a happy camper.
 
However......our Purchasing Folks are NOT happy because we just CANNOT make the PO to the vendor for his outprocess cost print or behave properly.  I have tried to set up PO's as type "P" and type "S" but I am obviously doing something wrong.  The manual and Help menu are offering very incomplete instruction, so HELP - I need the PO to be able to be received correctly so that I can enter the finished production of the subassembly WO from our vendor into inventory.
 ???
 

Thanks Lynn - the Make From scheme worked great, PO wise and inventory wise and standard cost looked correct.
 
I noticed tho that the after I received the PO that the average cost, last cost and book value were double the standard cost.  I am in our test data base so no harm done, but why would it do that?

On this topic- we are also using Make-Froms. When entering the PO, an error was made when choosing the location to pull parts from. I cannot find a way to re-enter that field and edit the location.  
 
Does anyone know of a way to re-enter that field?
