Use this activity to indicate that the part is normally received as customer-owned stock from the supplier. The supplier could in this case represent the same company as the customer, or it could be a supplier for the customer who owns the received parts. Customer-owned stock is usually material that is to be transformed (maintained, repaired, overhauled, or used as a component) and eventually returned to the customer (or customer's supplier). To specify who in the supply chain that ownes the parts, set Ownership value to Customer Owned in Supplier for Purchase Part/General page.
When a purchase order line is created for the part-supplier combination, the default ownership will be Customer Owned.
