Ship Material to Supplier

Explanation

When outsourcing you need to send to your supplier the material he/she needs to either manufacture or pack the parts that you in turn will purchase. Once you have reserved this material you need to ship it to the supplier.

This function is a simplified outsourcing method, so it will not create any transport documents. If needed, it is better to use the other outsourcing method, the so called Charged/No Charged.

Prerequisites

The material must have been reserved.

System Effects

The material will be picked from inventory and accounted as WIP. The WIP amount will disappear when the arrival of the purchase part takes place.
