Hi,
In version-4 , field name was " Is Subcontracted Item"
In version -5 this field name given as “Supply Raw material for purchase” means (Subcontracting)
-you are giving “Raw Material” to your supplier and supplier will give you Finished Goods(i.e Actual product)
example:- If you are giving raw material of item “Pen” i.e refill, cap to your supplier,then he will actually manufacture “Pen” and give it to you.

  • For that you need to create “BOM” for “Pen” item
  • then create purchase order for “Pen”
  • Transfer “Raw material” to supplier through “Material Transfer”
  • then select “Subcontract” purpose in “Stock entry” form .

Hi Shraddha,
I wonder if you can answer below.
I am trying to create a PO to a supplier with items one is Sub-contract Item and the other is normal Item.But If I select YES at Supply Raw Materials, then the normal item has a problem.because it is not a subcontract’s item.
1.Is it possible to contain both items(subcontract & normal item) on one PO?
2.In addition, it is a redundant job for a user to check the supply raw material check box.Is there any way to make the checkbox as a default?

is there an update on this issue ? Did ERPNext 6.0 and above already solve this issue ?
