Customer furnished materials in Procurement

Infor LN 10.2.0

If you use Subcontracting with Material Flow (subcontractor), limited functionality is available for furnishing material that is owned and delivered by the customer. This functionality was used in combination with allocation and hard pegging, which is now called demand pegging.

New in Infor LN 10.2.1

Subcontracting with Material Flow (subcontractor) was renamed to Customer Furnished Materials. The functionality for furnishing customer materials was extended.

Based on the demand from a sales order, a purchase order of the Customer Furnished Materials type is generated by the order plan. This purchase order is used to call off the customer furnished materials that are needed by the production order to produce the customer item. The purchase order inherits the demand peg from the demand order.

Before customer furnished material (CFM) purchase orders can be generated, you must specify the following new master data:

  • In the Purchase Order Type - Activities (tdpur0694m000) session, select the Customer Furnished Materials check box for the order type and link activities to the order type.
  • In the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session, specify the default Order Series for Customer Furnished Materials and Order Type for Customer Furnished Materials fields to generate CFM orders from Enterprise Planning.

The following apply to the lines of a customer furnished materials purchase order:

  • The Payment field is No Payment.
  • Because the customer or its supplier furnishes the materials, the customer or supplier is specified in the Buy-from Business Partner field.
  • Because the customer is the owner of the item, the customer is specified in the Owner field.
  • The line contains a specification (demand peg).
Note

You cannot manually specify CFM purchase orders.
