Sub-contracting is a common practice in the manufacturing industry, driven by various factors such as limited in-house capacity, lack of specialized processing technology, or a need for cost-effective solutions. However, managing the sub-contracting process, especially in a regulatory environment like India, can be a complex and paperwork-intensive task. To address these challenges and empower manufacturing companies to leverage SAP Business One while seamlessly managing their sub-contracting operations, a dedicated Sub-Contracting Add-On has been developed.

The Complexity of Sub-Contracting in India

In India, sub-contracting work is subject to excise rules, which require comprehensive documentation. Sub-contractors must maintain records of various aspects, including:

1. Which materials were sent to which sub-contractor.
2. The purpose of sub-contracting.
3. Document numbers associated with each transaction.
4. The quantity of materials processed and returned by the sub-contractor.
5. The duration for which the sub-contracting document remains open.

Maintaining such records manually is not only tedious but also prone to errors, making it crucial for manufacturing companies to find a reliable and efficient solution. This is where the Sub-Contracting Add-On for SAP Business One comes into play.
