Module Objective

The Subcontractor Management module serves as a monitoring dashboard for tracking the stock position of goods (both raw materials and work-in-process) that are located at a subcontractor's site. This module provides a view of the quantity of goods that have been sent to the subcontractor, the quantity that has been returned (or used), and the remaining stock that is still at the third-party location.

1. Main View (Subcontractor Stock Dashboard)

The main page of this module is a report that displays the current stock position at the selected subcontractor's location.

How to Use

1. Select Subcontractor: Use the Select Sub Contractor dropdown at the top to choose the name of the subcontractor whose stock you wish to monitor.

2. View Report: After you make a selection, the table below will automatically display all items that have ever been transferred to that subcontractor, along with their stock status.

2. Reading the Report (Report Content)

This report functions like a stock card for each item that is at the subcontractor's location.

Key Column Explanation

• Item/Service Code & Item/Service Name: The item that was transferred to the subcontractor.

• STF Number & Work Order Number: Reference documents for the transfer or related work order.

• Qty In: The total quantity of the item that has been sent to the subcontractor.

• Qty Out: The total quantity of the item that has been returned from the subcontractor or has been reported as used.

• Remainder: The ending balance of the item's quantity that should still be at the subcontractor's location, calculated from Qty In - Qty Out.

Tips & Important Notes

• This module is crucial for controlling inventory that is located outside of the company's main warehouse.

• Use this report to perform periodic stock reconciliation with the subcontractor.

• The Qty In and Qty Out data is pulled from Warehouse Transfer or Section Transfer transactions where the destination is the subcontractor's location.

• This is a crucial monitoring tool for the PPIC team and Production Managers who manage subcontractor work.
