The Customer Parts are in our Part Master. We created a part class called
"Free Issue". We unchecked the "Generate PO Suggestions" so purchasing
doesn't actually order the parts. The parts are on the BOM. A few times a
week we run the "Time Phased Mtl. Requirements Report" for the specific part
class. When we require the parts for a Customer's job we call the customer
to send their parts. When the parts come in we do a Misc. Receipt direct to
the job or we receive it to a special bin. So either the parts are in the
job bin or they can be easily located and separate from our stock.

We have a lot of trouble with this. We actually enter the part
number in the
system with a C at the end of the part number to show it is Customer
supplied. When we create a job we use the parts number with the C at
the end
if there customer supplied. This enable us to put the part on the
shelf and
find it 4 or 5 weeks later. Also if the items are not on the shelf
or issued
to the job it basically means the customer hasn't sent the part over
to us.

We do cut a purchase order for this. The vendor code is the same as
our
customer number. We use one PO annually per customer, the first
line of
the PO simply states " line to keep PO open". It gets closed at the
close
of the year. The price is $0. We signify the material part number
as
customer furnished material, CFM. We receive and issue to the job,
or put
the job # in the PO, it makes no difference. Accounting
periodically
enters invoices to capture the receipts and clear them.
It gives good traceability, you can see when it got there, the pack
slip #,
and if your staff gets energetic they can make comments and memos to
anything special that might happen.
HTH. let me know if there are questions.

I was looking for suggestions on how others may be handeling the
issue of Customer Supplied Materials. I don't want to issue Fake
PO's, but didn't know of an alternatives to receive materials to the
job. Any Thoughts?
