E-mail Consignment Consumption List

Explanation

This activity is used to e-mail the consignment consumption list to the supplier. The consignment consumption list will be attached to the e-mail as a Portable Document Format (PDF) file. Consignment stock means that you have access to products which are still owned by the supplier. You will not be charged until the products are used or sold, i.e., moved out from the consignment stock. This functionality is preferably used when the relationship between the customer and supplier is close and the consumption of material is frequent.

When transferring consignment handled parts between inventory locations, you will have a choice of whether to consume the parts. Information concerning the consumption is created and entered as the issue from consignment stock takes place. On the summarized list, you can study the total quantity issued within the indicated period. 
In the Notify Supplier - E-mail Summarized List dialog box that opens specify the start date you want to include in the PDF file. Further, you have the option to specify the end date.
