Contract Manufacturing

Use these pages when someone else does the building but you still own the stock. Start with a single contract manufacturer: stock held at their site, a manufacturing order backed by a purchase order, and receipts that record production and cost each batch. When a product moves through several vendors, split its recipe into a multi-stage chain.
