Customer-supplied material: Buyer material received, used and reconciled
Material the buyer supplies is received in FleekERP and reconciled, with a report you can share with the buyer.
The situation
Buyer material nobody can account for at the end of the order
In CMT and other contract work, the buyer supplies the main material and pays the factory for making the product. At the end of the order the buyer expects an account: what was received, what went into the goods, what was wasted and what is coming back. If issues and wastage were kept in registers, that account is put together from memory, and any shortfall turns into an argument.
- Receipts of buyer material are written in a register that is never matched to the order.
- Wastage is estimated at the end of the order instead of recorded as it happens.
- The buyer's request for a reconciliation takes days to answer.
- Leftover material sits in the store and nobody is sure which order it belongs to.

Questions about customer-supplied material
What is CMT manufacturing?
Cut, make and trim: the buyer supplies the main material and pays the factory for making the garments. Any contract work where the customer supplies the material runs the same way.
Can we show the buyer where their material went?
Yes. The reconciliation sets what was received against what was consumed, wasted and returned, and the report can be shared with the buyer.
Is this only for garment factories?
No. CMT is the garment term, but any contract work where the customer supplies the material runs the same way: receive it, use it on the order, reconcile it.
