Supplied Item
When a company requests its subcontractors to manufacture some goods, it may provide parts and materials necessary to manufacture them to the subcontractors, which is usually called "Supplying" and its items provided are called "Supplied Items". For example, as depicted in the figure, a company requests its subcontractor to generate Bolt a by providing Bolt Material "イ", the Supplied Item is Bolt Material "イ". Supplied Item is mainly divided into Charged Supplied Item (which is provided to subcontractors for a fee) and Free Supplied Item (which is provided to subcontractors for free).
