Subcontracting

Subcontracting — Job-Work Issue, Receipt & Reconciliation

Issue material, track the operation, and reconcile receipts against issues — so subcontracted jobs sit on the same timeline as in-house work, with true landed cost.

Why teams switch

Material leaves the gate — and off the books.

Subcontracting isn't a side ledger. It's issue, receipt and reconciliation on the same timeline as in-house work — with true landed cost on every job.

Walk through the product
  1. 01
    Material sent to a vendor and then forgotten

    Challans go out the gate — but nobody tracks what's still with the vendor until someone asks.

  2. 02
    Receipts reconciled from memory, not records

    Issue-vs-receipt matching happens in someone's head — not against the system of record.

  3. 03
    Scrap and rework nobody accounts for

    Vendor returns don't match what went out — and the gap never gets posted to the job.

  4. 04
    True cost of the part impossible to know

    Outside processing charges sit in a separate ledger — so landed cost on the finished part stays a guess.

Issue & receive

Know what you sent, and what came back.

Issue material to a vendor with a challan, track the operation, and reconcile receipts against issues — scrap and rework accounted for.

Job-work sits on the same timeline as Production & Quality

Material issues from production. Vendor POs flow through purchase. Receipts reconcile before quality gates the next step — no re-keying between modules.

We had ₹40 lakh of material sitting with galvanisers and nobody could tell you which job it belonged to. Now every challan reconciles against the work order — and landed cost on the part is finally real.

Frequently asked questions.

Top questions about subcontracting management ERP — answered for manufacturers in India.

How does FOS manage subcontracting and job-work?

FOS tracks material sent on challan, processing at vendor, receipt, rejection, and billing in one flow. Costs roll up to parent work orders so true product cost includes job-work charges.

Can we send multiple items on one subcontract challan?

Yes. Challans can include multiple components against one or more work orders. Receipt matches sent quantities with allowance for normal process loss configured per vendor or item.

How is GST handled on job-work?

Job-work tax patterns and HSN codes follow Indian GST conventions on challan and invoice. Implementation configures place of supply and tax types appropriate to your subcontract transactions.

What if vendor returns partial quantities?

Partial receipts update WIP and open challan balances. Planners see material still at vendor and can chase overdue returns before parent orders miss delivery.

Does subcontracting link to purchase for service billing?

Service POs or job-work invoices match received quantities and agreed rates. Three-way match prevents paying for work not received or already rejected at incoming inspection.

Can we track multiple vendors for the same operation?

Approved vendor lists per item or operation help purchase choose alternate job-workers when capacity is tight. Performance history supports vendor selection decisions.

How do we handle material loss at subcontractor?

Configurable yield and scrap norms on challan receipt account for expected loss. Excess loss flags exceptions for commercial follow-up with the vendor.

Is outward and inward register reporting available?

Registers for outward and inward job-work support statutory and audit requirements. Reports reconcile challan, receipt, and billing by period and vendor.

Can subcontract steps sit in the middle of a routing?

Yes. Routings interleave in-house and subcontract operations in sequence. MRP plans material issues before outward challan and schedules parent completion after return.

What visibility do planners get on subcontract WIP?

Planners see open challans, overdue returns, and parent order impact in one view. This reduces the common gap where material sits at vendors while assembly waits unnoticed.
