Outside work, inside control.
Zinye ERP manages the full subcontracting cycle — issuing raw materials to a vendor, tracking what was transferred and what came back, and reconciling finished-good receipts against the original order — so nothing is lost in the handoff.
"Raw materials sent to outside processors are tracked in a separate spreadsheet, the quantity returned rarely reconciles to what was issued, and the cost of subcontracted work never lands cleanly in the finished-good valuation."
What subcontracting does in Zinye ERP
Subcontracting order management
Raise subcontracting orders against a purchase order, specifying the finished good to be produced and the raw materials to be supplied to the vendor.
Subcontracting BOM
Define the materials and service item required to produce one unit of a finished good at a vendor; the Subcontracting BOM drives material planning and transfer quantities.
Raw material transfer to vendor
Issue stock to the supplier warehouse tracked against the subcontracting order so the quantity of material at the vendor is always visible in inventory.
Subcontracting receipt
Record finished goods received back from the vendor; the system calculates consumption of supplied materials and posts the valuation — including the service cost — to the stock ledger.
Supplied-material reconciliation
At receipt, the system matches materials transferred against materials consumed and surfaces any excess or shortage so discrepancies are settled before the order is closed.
Additional cost allocation
Apportion freight, handling, and other charges against subcontracting receipts so the true landed cost of vendor-processed goods is captured in stock valuation.
Inward order management
When your company acts as the subcontractor, use Subcontracting Inward Orders to receive raw materials from a customer, record production progress, and track finished-good returns.
Production plan integration
Sub-assembly items in a production plan can be flagged for subcontracting; the system generates the subcontracting order and tracks progress alongside in-house work orders.
Quality inspection at receipt
Link a quality inspection template to the finished good so an inspection record is raised on subcontracting receipt before stock is accepted into the warehouse.
