Part source table contains the following items:

BUY Purchased Parts
CONSIGNED Parts that are provided and owned by a Customer
MAKE An Assembly that is built in the Manufacturing Process
PHANTOM

A phantom assembly is a bill of materials assembled for the convenience of the user, and is not actually built or maintained in inventory. This may be useful when a certain sequence of parts is always used in many different assemblies, but the parts are actually assembled at the same time as the top assembly.  Any components reporting to a phantom will be picked and assembled with the assembly to which the phantom reports.

The following screen will be displayed, enter the Material/Part Source Module   

The following screen will be displayed:

 

The Part Source screen is presented so that the user may rearrange the order of the presentation of the sources. If the user most frequently uses consigned parts, then the CONSG tab should be at the top of the list, probably followed by MAKE parts, etc.
This table is hard coded in the system. Therefore it is not necessary for the user to enter any information here.  This is a requirement to setup the item master in the Inventory Control Management module.
 

These items may be sorted in any order by clicking on and dragging the box on the left side, to the (vertical) position desired. This order will be the order displayed in the pull downs when using this list in other modules within the system. Suggestion: Have the one most used at the top of the list.
