3rd Party Manufacturing

Hi,
Can any body can give me insight of 3rd Party Manufacturing and also provide some material or important links.
Thanks,
Lekhram

Ardiles Dario link info is very good but kind of high level.
Not sure what you guys are doing there.
The block diagram suggestion was very good.
Here's what we did.
Remove manufacturing entirely from supply chain and 3rd party it all. some 3rd parties make components, other assemble sub assembly's, other assemble finsihed goods (value chain). The parent company provides all the supply chain planning, and build schedules to each segement of the manufacturing chain. Even the transportation logistics to each 3rd party and ultimately to the vendors warehouse is planned by the parent company.
This standardizes costs (through contract negotiation), allows for volume discount on ordering (for all 3 rd partys), easier single source of raw materials (transportation logistics becomes a little complicated). Manufacturing becomes a fixed cost (negotiated seperately with each phase of the product creation). APO Planning, supply chain management, and supplier relationship management are the parent company's contribution to building the products. CRM and on-time delivery become very critical to the parent company. (SCM, SRM and CRM become parent company core cmpentencies).
metrics and contract performance grade trhe quality of any 3rd party vendor in the value chain (3rd party manufacturers become 'captive' partners, rarely are they substituted). Typically a score card method or dashboard method.
That's the basic version.

How do I get a free case from 3rd party manufacturer?

I never used cases for my phones, but since I need to use one to improve the signal in iPhone 4, I want one made by Incipio.
How do I purchase 3rd party case so Apple pays for it? It is not in their app nor do they have any cases at the store I visited.
Thanks!

The Griffen Reveal Etch is pretty nice. I do like the carbon fiber look though even if it is fake. If you don't like any of the free options than just buy the case you like. Most of the cases are cheap anyway and cost less than $30.

ATP for 'Stock in transit' for 3rd Party scenario

We have a scenario:
For warehouse replenishments an STO is created and then a delivery is subsequently created for the STO. Once the delivery has been shipped out of the manufacturing facility (post goods issued) the materials on the delivery are transferred from unrestricted-stock at the manufacturing facility to stock-in-transit at the receiving warehouse. Once the stock is in transit to the third-party warehouses, ATP should then take it into consideration when deliveries are created from the third-party warehouses to customers.
Now how to take the ATP check for 3rd party del. into consideration for STO?
STO document type is UD
Goods issue movement type is 641
Goods receipt movement type is 101

Apple appt. tomorrow.. What do I do if they try to void my AppleCare bc of 3rd-party upgrades?

So I'm a bit nervous.. Recently I started experiencing some really weird problems with the display on my Late 2011 MacBook Pro (8,2) .. I have a 3-year AppleCare warranty that I purchased when I got the MacBook Pro, which still provides me coverage for another 6 months or so..
I've got an appt. at the Apple Store tomorrow, since I've already went through the whole troubleshooting process on the phone with one of the Geniuses.. and did pretty much every troubleshooting step I could find on the internet.. The problem I'm experiencing seems to be VERY common among the 2011 MacBook Pro's.. Here's an article addressing that very issue (widespread GPU failures due to improper soldering):
http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/05/13/apple-remains-mum-as-complaints-mount- over-2011-macbook-pro-gpu-failures
It appears that this issue is something that was caused on the manufacturer's end entirely..
As far as the upgrades I did aftermarket:
-upgraded to 16gb RAM
-replaced factory harddrive with SSD
-removed SuperDrive and replaced with OWC Data Doubler + 2nd SSD
I'm fairly tech-savvy and have been building desktops for over 10 years now.. I know all the proper precautions to take when uncovering the insides of a computer and how to properly install/change out components..
According to OWC (a trusted Mac resource), there's a law in the US that states that:
"This consumer protection is owed to the little known Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975. Put simply, the act states that a company can’t require you to upgrade with only its own branded parts to retain the warranty. This important act protects your rights as a consumer and allows you to install OWC upgrades with peace of mind confidence.
However, the warranty doesn’t cover any damage incurred while installing upgrades. That’s why OWC’s free, step-by-step “how-to” DIY videos are extremely easy to follow for even advanced upgrades. See for yourself how easy it is at macsales.com/installvideos. If, however, after watching our videos, you’re still not comfortable performing one or more upgrades, OWC offers Turnkey Upgrade Programs for many Mac models, or you can opt to hire a professional."
*Link here*:
http://blog.macsales.com/18244-owc-diys-wont-void-your-macs-warranty
I'm a little bit nervous because I know my rights, I know what I'm doing when it comes to computer hardware maintenance/replacement, and I have a 3-year AppleCare plan that is still valid.. but I have a feeling that they're going to try to get slimy with me and say that my upgrades voided the warranty, or that my negligence caused this problem (which would be BS).. There's also tons of documentation online about people who are experiencing the *EXACT* same problem, with images that match what I'm experiencing, for a huge number of 2011 MacBook Pro users..
I really, really don't feel like having to open up my machine again and uninstall all of my upgrades (memory RAM, SSD, and Data Doubler + SSD) to make it "appear" that I didn't do anything and that the computer's insides are still "untouched" by me.. Even to this extent, I feel that it would be hard for them not to realize that the original components were removed and replaced by 3rd party components (and then re-replaced again before my visit)..
I'd really just like to leave everything in there and have them replace the faulty logic board (which seems to be the solution on the internet).. but I'd like to anticipate any potential questions or conflicts or answers that I should have prepared for tomorrow, if they try to weasel their way out of covering this manufacturer defect by saying that my warranty is "voided"..
Has anyone been in this situation where they had a known, manufacturer's defect problem arise, where still covered under AppleCare protection, but had done 3rd party upgrades to things like the RAM/HDD?
The nearest Apple Store is 1hr45min away from me! (*****) so I'd really like to have my game-plan set ahead of time with what kind of reaction I should be getting when I go in there bc of a manufacturer's defect, but then they see that I've done 3rd party upgrades? (which should be okay w/that law in place.. *see OWC link I posted*)
Can anybody help me out with what to expect or how I should approach everything tomorrow?
Thanks!!
<Edited by Host>

We are not lawyers. We cannot even tell you what might happen tomorrow. But, if Apple refuses to provide support because you have violated the legal status of the warranty, then you have little recourse but to call an attorney.
You cannot rely on anything you were told by OWC or believe you were told or believe you know. Needless to say no one on these forums can give you reliable information on what Apple will do nor advise you on what to do.

Windows XP Pro doesn't recognise iPOD when in 3rd party Docking Station

Hi All. My iPOD is brand new. If I use the syncing cable that came with it, everything works fine. However If use the 'Logic3' docking station (uses a standard USB cable) or the 'Gear4' docking station (standard ipod cable connects to female socket in rear of dock)I experience the following problems:-
Logic3 - lots of disk light activity but iTunes locks up and the iPOD does NOT appear in iTUNES
Gear4 - lots of disk light activity, iPOD appears in iTunes but I get an error message suggesting iPOD is corrupted and I can't sync any tunes
If I try a different USB port it makes no difference. If I disconnect them and go back to using the simple iPOD syncing cable everything is fine.
It makes me think it must be an iPOD problem as neither 3rd party dockig stations work properly.
I've contacted each Manufacturer of the each Dock, but they can't offer any help apart from suggesting I should update my iTunes software. I had already made sure this was up-to-date
Anyone got any ideas on what might be the problem?
Thanks
Steve

If I try a different USB port it makes no difference.

iPOD syncing cable everything is fine.

neither 3rd party dockig stations work properly.
I think it might be the other way around. If it works fine with the Apple cable, but there are problems with the third party one, then the problem seems to be with the 3rd party stuff, right?
I've only used speakers w/ a dock (not something that was also hooked up to the `puter) so I can't address your problem directly. There's been a lot of weirdness with the new iTunes, and since your iPod is new I'm thinking these manufacturers aren't up to speed on what changes have been made. Just a guess brother.
BTW, are the docking stations new? I googled "Logic3 docking station" and it came up discontinued.

Sales with third-party manufacturer

Hi gurus,
I need your help with the following sales scenario:
My company produces product A.
Product B can be manufactured applying minor changes in product A. However, my company doesn't have the machinery to do these changes. They need to be done by a partner.
The sales process begins with the customer requesting product B to my company. As we can't manufacture product B, we send the product A to our partner in order to manufacture product B. The partner charges us for the service and then sends the product B to the customer. An important point here is that the product B won't be sent back to my company, but it will be sent directly to the customer. In the last step, we send the invoice to the customer.
Is there a similar standard scenario I could use as a model?
Regards,
Melgado

Hello
This seems to me the combination of the standard inter-company and 3rd party sales models where you partner is acting as supplier(of the customer in 3rd party)
1. Inter-company relationship between your company and your company's partner
2. 3rd party relationship between your company , partner and the customer..
Thanks

Falsely accused of installing 3rd party RAM into my macbook pro while just a month away from my warranty expiring

Hey, this is my first "post" here on Apple discussions.
Since i bought my Macbook pro in October 2011, my macbook has been given for servicing many times. We've always used the Authorised Service centre here in Singapore (QCD Technologies), and I can swear I have never taken my laptop to a third party. However, when I gave my laptop in for servicing yesterday because it wasn't booting up and instead beeped 3 times every time I tried to switch it on (suggesting faulty RAM), they told me that they can't work on the laptop until we talk to Apple because they claim that the RAM installed is not original (suggesting that we used a 3rd party for my macbook's repair). Needless to say we were extremely appalled because we have never consulted a 3rd party, and this makes it extremely clear to us that either QCD or Apple slipped up in their servicing/production without accounting for changing the RAM or are simply lying. If they don't have a log for it, then we know they made a mistake, however the problem is they can easily use this as an excuse to evade costs on their part.
Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do from here on? I need my laptop for college quite urgently and It's very convenient that Apple is doing this just 1 month before my warranty after extending it, expires finally.

Have you taken the computer to the same repair place every time it was repaired? If so, suggest to them that they must have installed third party RAM. And, another fact to consider: Apple does not manufacture RAM - it always uses third party RAM. They do change suppliers, so different machines may have different brands of RAM. And, as mentioned: installing RAM does not void your warranty - you may want to point that out to the repair place as well. Although, to be fair, a senior Applecare rep once told me to reinstall the original RAM before sending in the machine for repair so no one could possibly blame the problems on third party RAM.
You can easily install RAM yourself; use one/both of the links provided by leroydouglas to purchase the correct RAM as three beeps at startup usually mean there is a problem with the RAM.

How to do a 3rd party sales process

How to do 3rd party sales process.....
plz reply me with the full configuration.....

THIRD PARTY SCENARIO
in third-party order processing, your company does not deliver the items requested by a customer. Instead, you pass the order along to a third-party vendor who then ships the goods directly to the customer and bills you. A sales order may consist partly or wholly of third-party items. Occasionally, you may need to let a vendor deliver items you would normally deliver yourself.
Process Flow
the processing of third-party orders is controlled via material types. Material types define whether a material is produced only internally can be ordered only from third-party vendors, or whether both are possible. For example, a material that is defined as a trading good can only be ordered from a third-party vendor. However, if you manufacture your own finished products, you may also want, from time to time, to be able to order the same type of product from other vendors.
Processing Third-Party Orders in Sales
Third-party items can be created automatically by the system, depending on how your system is set. However, you can also change a standard item to a third-party item during sales processing manually.
Automatic third-party order processing:-
if a material is always delivered from one or more third-party vendors, you can specify in the material master that the material is a third-party item. During subsequent sales order processing, the system automatically determines the appropriate item category for a third-party item: TAS. To specify a material as a third-party item, enter BANS in the Item category group field in the Sales 2 screen of the material master record.
Manual third-party order processing
In the case of a material that you normally deliver yourself but occasionally need to order from a third-party vendor, you can overwrite the item category during sales order processing. For a material that you normally deliver yourself, you specify the item category group NORM in the material master.
If, as an exception, you use a third-party material, change the entry TAN to TAS in the ItCa field when processing the sales document. The item is then processed as third-party item.
If address data for the ship-to party is changed in the sales order in third-party business transactions, the changed data will automatically be passed on to purchase requisition and also to the purchase order ,if one already exists. In the purchase order, you can display the address data for the ship-to party in the attributes for the item.
You can only change the address data for the ship-to party in the sales order for third-party business transactions, and not in the purchase order.
Processing Third-Party Orders in Purchasing
when you save a sales order that contains one or more third-party items, the system automatically creates a purchase requisition in Purchasing. Each third-party item in a sales order automatically generates a corresponding purchase requisition item. During creation of the requisition, the system automatically determines a vendor for each requisition item. If a sales order item has more than one schedule line, the system creates a purchase requisition item for each schedule line.
Purchase orders are created from purchase requisitions in the usual way. For more information about creating purchase orders, see the Purchasing documentation. During creation of the purchase order, the system automatically copies the delivery address of your customer from the corresponding sales order. In a sales order, you can enter purchase order texts for each third-party item. When you create the corresponding purchase order, the texts are automatically copied into the purchase order. The number of the purchase order appears in the document flow information of the sales order.
All changes made in the purchase order are automatically made in the sales order as well. For example, if the vendor confirms quantities and delivery dates different from those you request and enters them in the purchase order, the revised data is automatically copied into the sales order
you process third-party items by creating a normal sales order. In overview for the order, you can then overwrite the default item category (TAN in the standard system) with the special item category for third-party items: TAS
Billing Third-Party Orders
If relevance for billing indicator for the item category has been set to B (relevant for order-related billing on the basis of the order quantity) in Customizing, the system includes the order in the billing due list immediately. If, however, the indicator has been set to F (relevant to order-related billing on the basis of the invoice quantity), the system does not include the order in the billing due list until an invoice from the vendor has been received and processed by the purchasing department. In the standard system, item category TAS (third-party order processing) has been given billing-relevance indicator F.
In the first case, the third-party order is considered to be completely billed only when the invoiced quantity equals the order quantity of the sales order item. In the second case, each time a vendor invoice is received, a customer invoice is created for the quantity in the vendor invoice and the order is considered to be fully invoiced until the next vendor invoice is received.
If you have activated billing-relevance indicator F for item categories in Customizing, billing can refer to the goods receipt quantity instead of the incoming invoice quantity.
You can control whether the invoice receipt quantity or the quantity of goods received is relevant for billing in Customizing for copying control for billing at item level.
FOR YOUR PROCESS Individual Purchase Orders WELL GIVE THE RIGHT SOLUTION
Individual purchase orders are used when your customer orders goods from you that are not in stock and must be ordered from one or more external vendors.
Process Flow
During sales order entry, the system automatically creates a purchase requisition item. The purchasing department creates a purchase order based on the requisition and the vendor ships the goods directly to you (unlike third party order processing, where the vendor ships directly to your customer). You then ship the goods to your customer. While the goods are part of your inventory, you manage them as part of the sales order stock. Sales order stock consists of stock that is assigned to specific sales orders and cannot be used for other purposes.
Process Flow for 3rd Party Sales
Customize the third party sales in summary:
Prerequisites for 3rd party sales,
Purchasing org,
purchasing group,
assign the Purchase org to company code
assign Purchase org to plant,
should not maintain the stock in material, it should be trading goods,
1. Create Vendor XK01
2. Create Material Material Type as "Trading Goods". Item category group as "BANS".
3. Assign Item Category TAS to Order type that you are going to use.
4. A sale order is created and when saved a PR is generated at the background
5. With reference to SO a PO is created (ME21N). The company raises PO to the vendor.
6. Vendor delivers the goods and raises bill to company. MM receives the invoice MIRO
7. Goods receipt MIGO
8. Goods issue
9. The item cat TAS or Schedule line cat CS is not relevant for delivery which is evident from the config and, therefore, there is no delivery process attached in the whole process of Third party sales.
10. Billing *--

3rd Party Sales Configuration

Hi Gurus,
Please help me with the Standard 3rd Party sales Scenario configuration in SAP
Conceptually I a mclear with the process, but how do we map it in SAP.
I tried doing it by manually changing the item category to TAS, and then doing billing, but the log says item category not relevant for billing.
Should I create a new sales order document type with default Item Category as TAS??
Is it possible to have a TAS in std order type 'OR' with other item categories as TAN ?
Shall appreciate quick help.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Raheel

Understand the Business process to the core then apply that to SAP.
Thrird party business would be
1. You have to give a commodity / product to a customer , which you do not manufacture , so you ask one of your vendors to deliver the same to the customer on your behalf and finally you bill the customer and give the mone to vendor.
Configuration again in the forom if you will search will get through
material ->item category group: bans
so item category will be tas in sales order.
Step1: create the sales order which will automatically generate the PR
Step 2: Take the PR and create the PO
Step 3: Go a PO based LIV.
Step4: Bill the sales order.
There is no GRN and outbound delivery.
Thanks !

Abort/Exit 3rd party program

Hi!
I've developed a test system that flashes a device via a 3rd party flasher (hardware and software).
Sometimes the 3rd party program freezes or crashes for an unknown reason, can be hardware or software.
I communicate with the 3rd party program in a separate loop and uses the System Exec.vi to call the 3rd party program via its Command Prompt tool.
I am pretty sure, without actually having tested, that the rest of my application is responsive and running.
Question:
I could implement a timer function that after X milliseconds says "Hey! You havn't completed the flash sequence in the time I gave you, ABORT!'.
But... is there some way to kill that 3rd party program automatically when a timer indicates a problem? Without the user having to open the Task Manager and end the process manually.
Or maybe another way to solve the problem.
Best regards
Peter

What is that 3rd party device?
Funny story: I was working along side another developer that was having a simillar issue. Out of the blue the 3rd party flash programmer would just hang up. This is not desired in high volume automated production test systems. After a few days of banging on the problem they asked me for ideas. I immediately whent to the manufactures web-site saw they had a FAQ section and that FAQ#2 was "Is the xxx Device suitable for automated high volume systems?"
BINGO! one more mouse click and I found the answer. "No, this is not an anticipated use case for xxx device. Every once in a while the device becomes unresponsive requiring a system reboot to restore proper operation."
This is what I call "Other people funny" its only funny when it does not happen to you.

Sidechaining of 3rd party plugins in Logic 7

I would love to know if there is a way of sidechaining 3rd party compressors (such as waves or sonalksis) in Logic 7.
The logic compressor allows you to sidechain via the drop-down sidechain menu but this is not available on any third party compressors that I have tried. (Even when the manufactures indicate that sidechaining is available with their products).
Does anyone know of a work-around or of any other compressors that allow sidechaining in Logic 7?

I recall some kind of work around or tutorial on the waves.com site for achieving this.

Third party order processing is as follows:
Assume three companies X, Y and Z
X - The company,
y - The customer
Z - Vendor
When ever X gets a PO from Y to supply some goods, X has an option of either manufacturing those goods or procuring those goods.
If he is procuring the goods, there are two methods that are generally followed:
Method 1) After receiving the PO from Y, X creates a sales order against Y.
Now at the same time he also creates a PO to a vendor Z to produce the goods
Z produces the goods and supplies to X
X receives the goods from Z
Then X delivers the same goods to Y.
After that X invoices Y and Z invoices X.
Note : Here there is no direct/ Indirect relation between Z and Y.
This process is known as Trading Process. and the Material here is created with Material type HAWA.
The other method is a Third party order processing method:
Here the glaring difference is that instead of Z supplying the material to X and X in turn supplying the same material to Y.
X authorizes Z to supply the material to Y on his behalf and notify him once the delivery is complete.
Now Z supplies the material to Y and acknowledges the same to X.
Z will send a copy of delivery acknowledgement and invoice to X.
After receiving the delivery confirmation and invoice from Z, X has to verify the invoice and this process is known as invoice verification and is done in SAP through Tcode MIRO.
The next step for X is to create an invoice and submit to Y
Only after the invoice verification document is posted then only X can create an invoice for Y.
This is the business flow that is followed for third party order configuration.
There are few steps that have to be configured to enable the system to function as mentioned above.
Step1)
If you are always following a third party process for a material then you have to create the material using item category group BANS.
The procurement type should be marked as External procurement (F) in MRP 2 view of the material master record.
if you are not always allowing third party order processing then u can create a material master record with item category group as NORM and the procurement type should be marked as ( X) meaning both types of procurement ( in house manufacturing and external procurement).
Step 2)
the item category in the order should be manually changed as TAS.
For that you need to configure the item category determination
Order type + item cat Group + Usage + High level = Item cat + Manual item cat
OR + NORM + + = TAN + TAS
OR + BANS + + = TAS
Step 3)
make sure that during the item category configuration for TAS you need to mark relevant for billing indicator as F
step 4)
The schedule line category for this type should be CS.
make sure that you mark subsequent type as NB - purchase requisition in this schedule line category as this will trigger the purchase requisition order immediately after the creation of the sales order and the PO to vendor is created against this purchase requisition
Hope this will help you alot and Please Reward If Really Helpful,
Cheers,
Govind.

3rd Party Application Vulnerability Patching-Automating and Best Practices-HELP!

This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

I recommend finding out exactly why they would need administrative privileges and find GPO settings that would work for your organization. If they only need to install Drivers lets say, then only give them privileges to do that.
I personally work in the IT Department (Army of two) in an environment that has hundreds of users. They program, manufacture, and design various products and we are not flooded with requests. No user has administrative privileges aside from the us two in
the IT Department. This allows us to better control the environment.
By allowing your users to have administrative privileges, they will always have the capabilities to "Override" your policies for at least the computers they have administrative privileges.
Of course, each environment is different and should be considered differently when setting up users rights and privileges. To perform their daily functions, ask yourself what administrative privileges do they need? Maybe only allow them those privileges
through GPO.

Structured approach to debugging performance bottlenecks for 3rd Party apps

Hi All,
I am facing a situation which I believe most App Support personnel and DBAs in IT organizations do, but I havent found a structured approach to solve the problem. I am hoping this thread can help filter and pull together the varied chunks of information out there in one place.
Here is the situation. I am avoiding making it too specific, as the idea is to identify a good approach that is repeatable in other scenarios.
We are in the process of implementing a solution using a third party application (SAP's BPC), which is sitting on an Oracle database. The application implementation team has some control on to use the application to design the solution, but no direct access to the underlying queries that the app generates. We are starting to find that as the underlying database usage size is increasing (from a couple of million to tens of mllions of records), the performance of certain operations is becoming very unpredictable. Sometimes an operation would go through, relatively fast while at other times it would get stuck for over an hour and then time-out.
In such situations it is a classic battle between the Oracle DBAs and the App implementation team to try and push the ball in each other's court to try and identify and "fix" the problem.
What in your opinion would be a structured approach between the two teams to help solve the problem? For each step of the approach, please also try and see if you can point to links which further dive into specifics of executing that step.
For example, one approach might be to ...
1. DBA team to find a way to identify specific Querios/DBOperations that are taking too long. (add references here)
2. App team to collaborate with the App manufacturer's support organization to see what design changes or parameters could alter the nature of queries being generated or affect the size of the underlying tables. (too specific for each 3rd party app)
3. After exhausing (2), DBA team to analyze the remaining culprit queries and find ways to obtain better performance without changing the query or the size of the database tables via indexes/DB parameters/etc.. (add references here)
4. After exhausing (3), DBA/Unix admin team to identify which specific hardware bottlenecks are being faced (CPUs/storage/memory) to see if hardware changes can help obtain better performance.
Thoughts?

In general your approach is correct.
However I'd put priorities different way.
1. DBA team to find a way to identify specific Querios/DBOperations that are taking too long. (add references here)
2. DBA team to analyze the culprit queries and find ways to obtain better performance without changing the query or the size of the database tables via indexes/DB parameters/etc.. (add references here)
With collaboration with the App manufacturer's support if required.
Indexes are transparent to application logic. They do not affect results data. Only performance.
Note that indexes should be regular b-tree indexes, not unique or bitmap.

Changes of queries can be allowed here, with using Oracle query substitution techniques (Plan Stability, Plan Management...).
3. After exhausing (2), DBA/Unix admin team to identify which specific hardware bottlenecks are being faced (CPUs/storage/memory) to see if hardware changes can help obtain better performance.
Not only because today to beef up HW is less expensive way to improve performance comparing to SW optimization, especially redesign of App; but mainly, in case with SAP, the poor performance that can be improved by HW tells that the sizing of the system has been done incorrectly.
SAP has a methodology to size your HW depending on volume of data, number of users and quantity of transactions.
Sizing should be re-done if your data grown beyond the volume that had been used for initial SAP sizing.
4. After exhausting (3), App team to collaborate with the App manufacturer's support organization to see what design changes or parameters could alter the nature of queries being generated or affect the size of the underlying tables. (too specific for each 3rd party app)
