Our unit is a subcontracting unit wherein we recieve material from our parent company, process the same & then send back as finished components along with scrap.
I was thinking whether is there someway by which a sales order / service order can be punched in the system for such a subcontracting purpose. If it can be punched then the material request can be raised automatically from stores warehouse & all the calculations shall be done by the system. Also instead of a sales invoice can we have a delivery invoice punched against such a subcon sales order.
AFAIK as a sub-contractor, you only bill your customer for the services.
One alternative would be to create Sales Order and Sales Invoice for your service only. You can create raw-material inwards entry and finished item’s delivery entry via Stock Entry. For your reference, insert custom Link field in the Stock Entry.
For the feature as suggested in your message, please create Github Issue. If we receive same feature request from other, we will consider incorporating it in the product.
You can also consider sponsoring for the development of this feature as per the following plan.
I have been approached by a Team in Phillipines ‘Bai Mobile Labs’ to have
this customisation developed for us. In that event, can you host this
customisation on your cloud server. We want the entire system to be based
out of cloud. Don’t want it on the server as they propose. Please help me
understand. I am new to ERPNext & my new plant where we plan to implement
this commences operations in 2 months.
Great. Please ask them to send Pull Request on the main ERPNext repository on the Github. Once this feature is merged into the main ERPNext repository, it will be available for all the hosted users aw well.
