we use a po receipt, leaving the po# @ 0 and receive the part to stk at $0. since we use lot costing we don't have the same issues you would using avg or std costing. we also have setup a warehouse in the system called 'cst' for customer owned inventory that the inventory will reside in until job issue.

Subject: [Vantage] Using Customer Provided Material in a Job
Hi All,
We are on 8.03.407, and we're planning to use customer provided / customer-owned material in place of an existing part already specified in the BOM. I've been looking through this forum and there are a lot of good ideas, but I have a couple of specific issues: the issue with Engineering and Production is traceability (so do we use the same part number for the customer-provided part?), and the issue is with Accounting - we're using AVERAGE costs, and they don't want the $0 cost of the customer-owned part to pollute/undervalue our inventory costs.
1. We typically haven't used "substitute" parts; if we give the customer-owned part a new part number, but call it a substitute for our part, will it address the traceability and costing issues? Or is there that much danger with using the same part number and living with the average cost consequences (and doing cost adjustments later)?
2. Because we want to track it, we want to issue it to the job (our sister company doesn't bother to do anything in Vantage with the customer-owned part, they just know it's there and that they need to use it - they enter a lot of comments and notes onto Vantage). What would be the best way to bring it in? The PO process has been mentioned, but that could be ugly. What about using an RMA, and dispositioning the RMA to the job? Or does it depend on if we're using the same or a different part number?
If anyone already has a process, I would appreciate hearing about it.
Thanks in advance!
Laraine
