Subcontract or Supply vendor with part of assembly, then purchase assembly

We have a scenario that I need help figuring out how to process.

In order for our supplier to send us a welded part, we have to supply them a part from our inventory to be welded. Because of this, we are able to purchase the welded assembly (1 of our parts and 1 of theirs welded together) at a discounted price.

Currently we are doing a Misc. Shipment and then a Qty-Adjust out of the system, since Misc shipment will not deduct inventory. What ideas do you have for a process we could follow?

A sales order would possibly work but create a lot of extra paperwork. It might be the only way.

Subcontract PO and shipments will work for this scenario. This will take care of material issues and shipments to the supplier and receipt back into the system as finished goods.
