The following question was raised by a customer:
The customer would like to know if there is a way to include supplier material on a purchase order for an outside service. The customer encounters a scenario where another inventory part will need to be send to a supplier during an outside service (i.e. Heat treating). The customer would like to use supplier material for this, since it will never be charged to the supplier. When I attempt to make a product structure for the purchase part, I am unable to create the record for because there is no revision no (assuming this is because the outside service part is WIP and not inventory.) Is there any way to accomplish this?

Supplier material on a purchase order

There is no way to use supplier material when you send what is a non-inventory part to the supplier through a shop order outside process.
There are a few things you could do.
You could list the material as a material to issue to the shop order referencing the outside operation. You can use work guidelines or document text to give instructions to the personnel who must ship the material. You can use document text to print out on the work instructions which you include with your material when you ship it on the purchase order, etc.
