Issue and receipt, per job worker, per lot
Every issue to a job worker is a movement out of your stock into work in process, and every return is a movement back. Recorded per lot, the difference between issued and received is a number you can act on while the lot is still live.
- Quantities issued, expected and returned per job worker
- Cut to stitched to finished progression per lot
- Rejections and shortages recorded at return, against that job worker
Work in process is inventory too
Goods with a job worker belong in the incoming column, not in nobody's column. That is what allows a sales team to commit a date based on production that has not landed yet.
Rates and payables for job work
Job work charges calculated from returned, accepted quantities keep the payable defensible and make the real cost per piece visible per lot rather than per season.
Takeaway
Record issues and returns per job worker and lot, count work in process as incoming, and pay on accepted returns.
