Subcontracting BOM

Define the relationship between finished goods and the services your job workers provide. Subcontracting BOMs are the foundation of cost calculation and receipt validation across all subcontracting workflows.

Map finished items to service items

The Subcontracting BOM is the foundation of every outsourced manufacturing relationship, defining what you receive and what it costs. Every order references this to ensure consistency and traceability.

Controlled Approval WorkflowBOMs are reviewed and approved before use. If arrangements change, they can be cancelled, leaving a clear audit trail of what was in place and when.
Default BOM for Fast Order CreationMark one BOM as the default per finished item. Orders pick it up automatically, removing manual lookup and reducing errors.

Define outsourced product relationships

Each subcontracting BOM defines what you receive and what your job worker charges. Costs are calculated accurately based on the service and materials involved, giving you full financial clarity over every outsourced product.

Automatic Conversion FactorThe system derives the expected finished quantity automatically, validating receipts and keeping valuations accurate without manual input.
Manufacturing BOM IntegrationLink to your manufacturing BOM to factor in material costs alongside the service charge, ensuring accurate finished good valuations that reflect everything involved.

Audit-ready approved records

Once approved, a subcontracting BOM is locked from changes. Every order referencing it reflects exactly what was reviewed, giving auditors confidence and keeping your financial records accurate.

Locked Configuration After ApprovalApproved BOMs cannot be modified, ensuring every order and receipt always reflects what was reviewed and validated.
Evolve Without Losing HistoryWhen details change, replace the BOM with a new one. Existing orders are unaffected and the full history is preserved for compliance.

Place orders with material tracking

Each order captures everything needed to outsource a manufacturing task: who delivers it, what you receive, and what to supply. Items populate from approved configurations and supply tracking updates in real time.

Procurement IntegrationPull items directly from linked purchase orders, keeping subcontracting fully integrated with your broader procurement process.
Material ReservationReserve materials against an order before transferring to the supplier, so the right stock is always available when your job worker needs it.

Track orders and manage rates

The subcontracting order is the single source of truth for every outsourced job. When costs change, pending orders are updated to reflect current valuations, guaranteeing accurate financial entries when finished goods arrive.

Dynamic Rate CalculationWhen material costs change, pending order rates are refreshed automatically, ensuring your financial entries always reflect current market prices.
Disciplined Material SupplySupply the right materials in the right quantities, tracked per item and linked to the order, preventing over-supply and maintaining a complete transfer audit trail.

Subcontracting Receipts

Receive finished goods back from job workers, split accepted from rejected quantities, and let the system handle all stock and financial updates automatically in one step.

Receive finished goods from job workers

When finished goods arrive from the job worker, subcontracting receipts close the loop. Each receipt is linked to its source order, ensuring that only goods from active subcontracting engagements are received. The system handles all stock movements and financial entries automatically, so your inventory and books are updated the moment goods are accepted.

Atomic Receipt ProcessingSubmitting a receipt triggers a complete update. Inventory, consumed materials, and financials are all handled in one step, keeping your records in sync.
Automatic Order ProgressionOrder status updates automatically as goods arrive, and if a receipt is reversed, everything rolls back cleanly, keeping your records consistent.

Receive, inspect, and route finished goods

When goods arrive, log quantities and split them between accepted and rejected. Accepted items go straight to stock; rejected ones are routed for review. Material consumption is calculated automatically, with no manual accounting needed.

Quality-Driven RoutingOnly goods that pass inspection enter your stock. Rejected items are isolated automatically for review or return.
Automatic Material ConsumptionMaterial consumption is calculated automatically based on what was accepted, eliminating manual tracking and keeping your stock records accurate.

Automatic stock and financial entries

One submission closes out the entire workflow. Finished goods are received, consumed materials are cleared, and all financials are posted. Your books and inventory stay accurate without any manual effort.

Unified Stock ProcessingA single action handles all stock movements: finished goods in and consumed materials out, both linked to the source order. No separate entries, no reconciliation needed.
Accurate Financial EntriesAll costs are posted to the correct accounts automatically. If rates change after receipt, entries can be updated, keeping your financial records current and accurate.
