Prepare the purchasing decision
Synthetic installation needs twelve components. The customer offers five, but only four have been identified and accepted as meeting the specified component requirement; the fifth is unresolved. The local plan buys the remaining eight. Customer-owned items stay a separate source record and do not become supplier receipts.
| Source | Proposed units | Confirmed usable | Planning treatment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Customer supplied | 5 | 4 | Count 4 toward requirement |
| Unresolved supplied unit | 1 of the 5 | 0 confirmed | Do not reduce purchase yet |
| Purchase request | Requirement 12 | 12 − 4 = 8 | Request 8 |
Complete the recorded outcome
- Read total requirement and item specification.
- Verify the quantity accepted from the customer’s source.
- Request the uncovered remainder and retain both source records.
A verbal offer without identification does not establish that every supplied item is suitable.
If the fifth unit is subsequently accepted before order release, what quantity needs buying?
Show the worked answer
Seven: 12 − 5. Update the request revision; do not create a supplier receipt for those five customer-owned items.
The acceptance test is a fictional project requirement, not a safety certification or ownership-transfer rule.
