Indicate Purchase Component Method

Explanation

The purchase component functionality is used when you are sending the supplier material or components needed to either manufacture or pack the parts that you then purchase. You can choose to charge, i.e., sell the material or the components to your supplier, or not charge the supplier for the material and components.

There are two different methods to use:

• Shipment: A comprehensive way to reserve, pick, and ship the material using shipment. It is not possible to charge these items.
• Customer Order: A more complex variant where the purchase order will create a customer order. The customer order flow will then be used to reserve, pick, and ship the material. It is also possible to choose whether the material should be charged or not. This is decided at the moment of creation of the purchase part structure.

Prerequisites

• You either can indicate this option when entering the site or change the option on an already entered site.

System Effects

If the customer order method is chosen, a customer order will be created when releasing the purchase order, containing lines for the components that shall be sent to the supplier.

If the shipment method is chosen, a shipment will be created when releasing the purchase order depending on shipment type set up, containing lines for the components that shall be sent to the supplier.
