I am trying to setup outsourced manufacturing and went through the available documentation and completed the recommended setups in sandbox. However, I still have the following questions/issues: I am not able to get the tab 'Outsourced Manufacturing' on the supplier to tie my outsourced location to the supplier. The tab is enabled at the form level. In my case, our one vendor would be shipping a part (unpainted body part of the machine) to the another vendor directly, who would be painting the same and would ship it back to us as a painted part. How do we manage this drop ship outsourcing requirement in the system? Thanks

hey @Rookie I 've done this with the outsourced manufacturing module. What you want to do is set give the outsourced vendor its own location. Create the WO and subsequently the outsourced PO in that location...but at the time of receipt, you change the location to where you want the assembled goods to be
this will automatically create a receipt and an inventory transfer in netsuite
it works well, however, i did find a bug here (that netsuite says is a feature)
when you do this, the built assembly from location 1 doesn't commit to the order in location 2...this bothers me. For my clients, we either reallocate manually OR fulfill against an order that isn't committed.

Thanks for your reply, I would definitely try it but I am facing a weird issue where I am not able to see the tab 'Outsourced Manufacturing' on the vendor screen, any ideas on that one?

Is the tab just hidden on the form? Do you have existing locations?
