What’s inside: output checking · connections to your systems
The question this file answersParts go out for plating and come back with an invoice — who checks that quantity and price match what we sent?
Fits: plants where receipts, counts and invoices are reconciled by hand.
Typical pattern, not a measured desk; the manufacturing playbook publishes no subcontract volume. Parts leave on a subcontract PO, return on a delivery note, and the invoice disagrees on quantity or price; purchasing, stores and AP each reconstruct their part of the trip. It hurts when payment is due first.
When the invoice arrives, AP sees a draft posting for the lines that agree; the few that do not sit in a short list, each with the three documents already side by side. The conversation with the subcontractor is about scrap, rework and price — not about who has the delivery note.
Typical, not a measured client result. Every figure here comes from the playbook source named below.
the same three-way build as AP invoice matching — no published figure for subcontract processing
Before: three people reconstruct the subcontract trip when the invoice disagrees. After: PO, receipt and invoice are matched inside tolerance; the breaks arrive with all three documents. No percentage — the AP figure lives on the parent file.
Ardent Partners (2023) and Deloitte (2022) measure invoice and PO processing in general; neither isolates outside processing, so their ranges stay on the AP and PO files and this one carries no percentage. Not a rework or scrap claim.
Your ERP stays — SAP S/4HANA, Oracle, Dynamics, Infor or the one you run. This is the same three-way checking build as our AP invoice matching, applied to outside processing:
Rework. Scrap. Price disagreements. New subcontractors.
Not a rework or scrap claim.
If returns are not receipted in the ERP — parts booked straight to the line — there is no third document to match and the build has nothing to check; receipting discipline comes first. Rework, scrap and price disagreements are excluded by design; a break stays a break until a person settles it.
The path: free 60-second estimate → free 20-minute review → paid audit of this one process (€1.5–3K, typically two weeks) → pilot with your people in the loop (€10–20K, weeks, not quarters). No transformation programme. Prices are public, on the services page →
Scoped in the audit — the playbook has no estimate for this exact desk.
That depends on your volumes and wage costs — this page will not invent the number. The free 60-second estimate runs that calculation from your answers, with every multiplier sourced.
Not a named Aperanda client. Process file · Manufacturing.
Short process file. Same build as its parent file; the playbook has no separate volume or benchmark for this desk.
