Tenison,
        In a circumstance such as this I would create a sub-assembly within
the bill of materials (BOM), or a small BOM just for that purpose. Example:

SOFTWARE_PN     MAKE ITEM (Company PN)
     EEPROM_PN  BUY ITEM  (Manufacturer PN)
     LABEL_PN           BUY ITEM  (Manufacturer PN)

                Hi everyone,

                Please keep this line on the technet.

                I am an OEM, but I have a division of our company that wants
to treat us
                like a contract house.  They want us to build using
manufactures part
                number rather then our corporate part numbers.

                What do contract houses use for programming software that
utilizes company
                part numbers and manufacturer part numbers?

                Thank you for you help.

                Hi,

                We're a small contract manufacturer in the process of
evaluating software
                for manufacturing, shop floor control, inventory management,
sales orders,
                etc.  Since there seem to be a lot of CM people here, I'm
hoping that some
                of you wouldn't mind sharing the packages you're using, how
you like them,
                how they fit in with the contract manufacturing model, etc.
I'm
                particularly interested in how consigment vs. turnkey
components are
                handled, how well customer part numbers can be integrated
into the system,
                and the type and flexibility of the shop floor
documentation/traveller
                systems.  We have looked at one system specifically for
contract
                manufacturing, Mannex, but the cost of this system may be
beyond our
                current
                budget.  I'm hoping some of you may have recommendations
that might work in
                our environment.

                Thanks in advance.
