Question on Equipments

A customer returns all materials including epuipments after work completed as indicated in the contract or procument. Which process group will you find this and where will this information be be documented (Equipments)? .........

What are the options?

Without it, I would say close proc and records management system respectively.

Typo in the previous comment.

I meant to say PM will use records mgmt system to update procurement docs.

I would guess close proc process and procurement docs.

Seems simple, what are the options, is it confusing ?

Machinery & Equipment lists in a separate list called Annexxure to a Contract. The list of this equipment contains in the procurement documents.

The only place where equipment would be returned on a contract is when the work was completed. In Close Procurement a Procurement Audit is done to determine/verify if all contract items and the Procurement Statement of Work was met. As part of the Procurement Audit sign off would occur and that is when you do lessons learned, create the Procurement File update OPA, final payouts, and return all equipment as well as release the recourses as you don't need them any longer.

Knowledge Area : Project Procurement Management

Analyzing

1- Customer can't take any materials including equipment's without a contract

2- Contacts are part of project documents

3- Contacts are controlled by Procurement management processes

4- Since the customer is returning the materials and equipment's that means he is intending to close the close the contract as it had been fulfilled.

:)

5- Closing Procurement will control the above action
