Consigned parts

Parts you ship to the assembler yourself because they don't stock them (Sam did this with AR0234 at JLC).

How it looks

Drawing
TWO WAYS A PART REACHES THE ASSEMBLY LINEfab buys it (normal)we ship it to them: consignedassembly
Sam consigned the AR0234 camera sensor to JLC because they did not stock it.

How it works

  1. Normally the assembler buys every part on the BOM from its own stock (LCSC for JLCPCB).
  2. If a part is not stocked, we buy it elsewhere and ship it to them: a consigned part.
  3. It costs shipping time and paperwork, and the order waits until the parts arrive and are checked in.

Where it fits

Choosing stocked basic parts avoids consigning; it is listed on the BOM as customer-supplied.
