Handing Customer's Parts

Yahoo Archive

We use the Customer as the Supplier on these types of material. We have a
Part Class with the name CSM and the description Customer Supplied Material.
Then we add the Part to the Part Class and make sure that it has a 0 in the
cost. We add it to the Bill Of Material on the Manufactured "finished"
Part. This allows us to track inventory on the Part, gives an advance
notice for the person who is supposed to notify the customer when we need
more materials.

Hope this helps

Subject: [Vantage] Handing Customer's Parts



Often, customers will ship us their parts that we will either add material
or labor to and then ship back. What is the best way of handling
situations like this? It seems kind of awkward to have to set up our
Customer as our supplier also. Can we receive materials to a Job from a
customer? Would it be easiest to use "Make-to-Order"? How is the best way
to handle incoming parts.create part numbers for every part we receive? We
are trying to develop this new process and any advice or direction would be
very beneficial. Thanks!
