Work sentout and back

The job worker gets the order, material goes by train, and every gram comes back counted.

5 steps

Step by step

Step 1
The job worker gets the order
Buying's purchase order for the job work reaches the job worker, on WhatsApp or SMS, where they actually read.
Purchase order · Buying → Job Work
Step 2
Material out by train
The material for the job goes out to the job worker, tracked to the gram.
Material · Manufacturing → Job Work
Step 3
It comes back by train
The processed work comes back, and what came back is accounted for to the gram against what went out.
Processed work · Job Work → Manufacturing
Step 4
Checked when it returns
Quality inspects what came back before it is accepted; a rejection raises a rework order on its own.
Inspection · Quality → Manufacturing
Step 5
Into stock, costed
The finished product goes into stock, and its real cost, material, labour and overhead, posts to the books.
Product · Manufacturing → Stock + Cost · Stock → Accounting
