Customer furnished materials in Sales and Procurement

To enable customers or their suppliers to furnish the materials that are required to manufacture a specific customer item, select the Customer Furnished Materials check box in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.

CFM - Sales

You can specify the customer furnished materials in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session. Furnishing of customer materials is initiated from a sales order line, which includes the item that contains customer furnished materials. The sales order line can have a linked demand or project peg for the customer demand.

Note

If a sales order line contains customer furnished materials, the Contains Customer Furnished Material check box is selected in the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session.

CFM - Procurement

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

  • In the Purchase Order Type (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.

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 required by the production order to manufacture the customer item. The purchase order inherits the peg of the demand order, if available.

These conditions apply to the lines of a customer furnished materials purchase order:

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

CFM purchase orders can also be manually specified.
