Hi, I am trying to understand how I could handle purchase orders that require sending a part to a vendor for processing. For example, when purchasing a service such as sterilization of a part that is on stock, how could I avoid duplicating my inventory, and even better, how could I eventually update my inventory to show the parts have been processed.
What would be the best way to handle the inventory of the parts that are shipped, processed, and then received?
Thank you. It took me a while to understand the process but it’s clear now.
As far I can tell the idea is that instead of just creating a PO, since existing inventory needs processing, it is better to proceed with a “Work Order”.
