In previous employment with a now defunct company, a customer ordered a PCB for a product from the Sales department, which duly sold them one. They complained that it had no components, so were then sold an SA (subassembly) with all components, but untested and unprogrammed. They complained that it didn't work. Our Service department was eventually contacted and explained that the SA had to be fitted to the product to be tested and programmed to be adjusted to the the rest of the product.
The complete product was duly returned and found to have a fault which a competent technician (yours truly!) could repair without replacing the SA or needing to (re-) program.
