We have a situation where one of our customers has some components in stock and is sending this material to us to use in our manufacturing process. We will use his material along with ours. Some components are also available from our stock, so it might be the case that we will use the same component from both our stock and the customer stock to build this product. Once we use the material that the customer is sending to us we will return the rest back to them but it will still be useful to know what they have in stock because they want to use as much as they can of it. I don't want this stock to be visible in our financial reports because it is not ours. What is the recommended way of handling such situations?
I created another warehouse and it's now set as Physical location/CustomerName/Stock and I set it up as Supplier location. Can I turn this warehouse stock availability on and off as required? I can't use this material on anyone else's products except for this particular customer.
